⭐ 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 by 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 exhibit cryptic behavior, hiding in narrow crevices and emerging mainly at night to feed. They also display resistance to many common insecticides, making them difficult to control.

📍 Habitat

Bed bugs are most commonly found in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and headboards where they have easy access to people to bite at night. They can also hide in cracks and crevices of walls, floors, and furniture, behind baseboards, inside electrical outlets, behind wallpaper, in luggage, and in upholstered furniture. Bed bugs are often found in hotels, apartments, dormitories, shelters, and public transportation.

⭐ 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, enabling them to thrive on diverse diets. They also exhibit social behaviors, such as group decision-making and sharing resources through chemical communication.

📍 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 are unique for their complex social structure, living in colonies with distinct castes such as workers, soldiers, and reproductives, each performing specialized roles. They communicate using pheromones and vibrations, enabling coordinated activities like foraging and defense. Termites are among the few animals capable of digesting cellulose, thanks to symbiotic microorganisms in their guts. They play a crucial ecological role by recycling dead plant material, enriching soil fertility. Some species build intricate nests with advanced ventilation systems, demonstrating remarkable architectural abilities.

📍 Habitat

Termites are most commonly found in warm, humid climates. They are often found in areas with abundant wood, moisture, and soil contact. Common areas include: - Wooden structures and framing in homes - Basements and crawl spaces - Wooden decks, fences, and sheds - Tree stumps and fallen logs - Mulch and landscaping timbers - Moist soil near foundations - Attics with wood supports They are especially prevalent in the southern United States, but can be found in many regions worldwide.

⭐  Features

Carpet beetles have a unique ability to digest keratin, allowing them to feed on materials like wool, feathers, and animal hair. Their larvae can survive long periods without food and are known for their resistance to many common pest control methods. Carpet beetles undergo complete metamorphosis, including a pupal stage, and their larvae are covered in bristly hairs that can cause allergic reactions in some people. They are also attracted to light and can enter homes through small openings, making them persistent household pests.

📍 Habitat

Carpet beetles are commonly found in areas with natural fibers and organic materials. Typical locations include carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, closets, baseboards, air ducts, and storage areas containing wool, silk, feathers, or leather. They may also be found near windowsills, as adults are attracted to light.
