⭐ Features

Bed bugs have a remarkable ability to survive for months without feeding by entering a semi-dormant state. They release pheromones to communicate and aggregate with others, which helps them form clusters. Bed bugs are known for their resistance to many common pesticides, making them difficult to eradicate. They exhibit a unique mating behavior called traumatic insemination, where the male pierces the female’s abdomen to inseminate her. Bed bugs also have specialized mouthparts that allow them to painlessly pierce skin and feed on blood, often going undetected during feeding.

📍 Habitat

The most common areas where you can find bed bugs include mattresses and box springs (especially in seams and crevices), bed frames and headboards, cracks and crevices in walls or floors, upholstered furniture, behind baseboards, inside electrical outlets and light switches, behind wallpaper or picture frames, and in luggage or clothing after travel.

⭐ 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, unpredictable movements help evade predators. Cockroaches can regenerate lost body parts and have a unique reproductive strategy, with some species capable of producing eggs without mating (parthenogenesis). Their digestive systems host symbiotic microbes, enabling them to break down tough materials like cellulose. Cockroaches also communicate using pheromones, coordinating group behaviors such as aggregation.

📍 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. Commercial spaces like restaurants, grocery stores, and warehouses are also frequent sites of infestation.

⭐ Features

Termites have a highly organized social structure with distinct castes, including workers, soldiers, and reproductives, each performing specialized roles. They cultivate symbiotic relationships with gut microorganisms, enabling them to digest cellulose from wood and plant material. Termites communicate using pheromones and vibrations, coordinating complex colony activities. Some species build intricate mounds with natural ventilation systems that regulate temperature and humidity. Their ability to recycle dead plant material plays a crucial role in nutrient cycling within ecosystems.

📍 Habitat

The most common areas where you can find termites include wooden structures (such as beams, floors, and walls), basements, crawl spaces, attics, around foundations, near leaky pipes or water sources, in mulch or woodpiles close to buildings, and in dead trees or stumps near homes. Termites are attracted to moisture and cellulose-rich materials.

⭐  Features

Fleas possess remarkable jumping ability, able to leap many times their body length due to specialized leg structures and resilin, an elastic protein. They have piercing-sucking mouthparts adapted for feeding on blood. Fleas undergo complete metamorphosis, including egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages. Their bodies are laterally compressed, allowing easy movement through host fur or feathers. Fleas can detect hosts through vibrations, heat, and carbon dioxide. Some species can transmit diseases such as plague and typhus, making them significant vectors in medical history.

📍 Habitat

Fleas are most commonly found in areas where pets spend time, such as pet bedding, carpets, upholstered furniture, and cracks in floors. Outdoors, they thrive in shady, humid places like tall grass, leaf litter, and under porches. Fleas can also be found in animal nests, kennels, and around the baseboards of homes.
