⭐ Features

Bed bugs possess a specialized mouthpart designed for piercing skin and feeding on blood. They release anticoagulant and anesthetic compounds in their saliva to facilitate feeding without immediate detection. Bed bugs can survive for months without a blood meal, entering a semi-dormant state. They emit pheromones for communication and aggregation. Their eggs are coated with a sticky substance, allowing them to adhere to surfaces. Bed bugs also exhibit cryptic behavior, hiding in narrow crevices and emerging mainly at night to feed.

📍 Habitat

The most common areas where you can find bed bugs include mattresses and box springs, bed frames and headboards, cracks and crevices in walls or furniture, behind baseboards, inside electrical outlets, behind picture frames, in upholstered furniture, and in luggage or clothing. Bed bugs prefer areas close to where people sleep or rest.

⭐ Features

Cockroaches possess remarkable resilience, able to survive without food for weeks and withstand high levels of radiation. They have highly sensitive antennae for detecting chemical signals and vibrations, and their rapid reflexes allow them to evade predators quickly. Cockroaches can digest a wide range of organic materials due to specialized gut bacteria, and some species exhibit social behaviors, such as group decision-making and sharing resources. Their ability to regenerate lost body parts and adapt to various environmental stresses makes them one of the most adaptable insects.

📍 Habitat

Cockroaches are most commonly found in warm, humid areas with access to food and water. Typical locations include kitchens (under sinks, behind appliances, inside cabinets), bathrooms (under sinks, around drains), basements, laundry rooms, and storage areas with clutter. They also hide in cracks, crevices, and behind wall voids.

⭐ Features

Termites exhibit a highly organized social structure with distinct castes, including workers, soldiers, and reproductives, each performing specialized roles. They communicate using pheromones and vibrations, enabling complex coordination within colonies. Termites are among the few animals capable of digesting cellulose, thanks to symbiotic microorganisms in their guts. Their ability to construct intricate nests and mounds with regulated temperature and humidity demonstrates advanced collective engineering. Termites also play a crucial ecological role by recycling dead plant material and enriching soil fertility.

📍 Habitat

Termites are most commonly found in warm, humid climates. They are often found in: 1. Wooden structures (homes, sheds, fences) 2. Dead trees and stumps 3. Mulch and woodpiles near buildings 4. Soil, especially near foundations 5. Crawl spaces and basements 6. Attics with wood framing 7. Moist areas with poor drainage They are especially prevalent in the southern United States, but can be found in many regions worldwide.

⭐  Features

Silverfish possess a distinctive, rapid, wriggling movement that resembles the motion of a fish. They are known for their ability to survive long periods without food and can digest cellulose, allowing them to feed on paper, glue, and textiles. Silverfish are nocturnal and highly secretive, often avoiding light. They have a remarkable ability to squeeze into tiny crevices and cracks, making them difficult to detect and control. Additionally, they undergo a unique form of development called ametabolous metamorphosis, meaning they do not undergo significant changes in form as they mature.

📍 Habitat

Silverfish are most commonly found in damp, dark, and humid areas such as bathrooms, basements, kitchens, laundry rooms, attics, and under sinks. They are also attracted to areas with paper, books, cardboard, and starchy materials, so you may find them in storage boxes, bookshelves, and closets.
