⭐ 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 rapid reflexes that enable quick escape from threats. Cockroaches can regenerate lost limbs and exhibit social behaviors, such as group decision-making and sharing resources. Their digestive systems allow them to break down a wide variety of organic materials, including substances toxic to many other organisms.

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

⭐ Features

Bed bugs possess a remarkable ability to survive for months without feeding, entering a semi-dormant state. They release pheromones to communicate and aggregate, which helps them form clusters. Bed bugs are adept at detecting carbon dioxide and body heat, allowing them to locate hosts efficiently. Their saliva contains anticoagulants and anesthetics, enabling them to feed without being noticed. They also exhibit resistance to many common pesticides, making infestations difficult to control.

📍 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 the seams of curtains. Bed bugs are typically found close to where people sleep or rest.

⭐ 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 colony coordination. 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. Crawl spaces and basements with moisture 5. Soil near foundations 6. Attics with wood framing 7. Areas with water leaks or poor drainage They are especially prevalent in the southern United States, but can be found anywhere wood and moisture are present.

⭐  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 remaining hidden during the day. They have a remarkable resistance to many common insecticides and can live for several years, molting throughout their adult life, which is unusual among insects.

📍 Habitat

Silverfish are most commonly found in damp, dark, and humid areas such as bathrooms, basements, kitchens, laundry rooms, attics, and storage areas. They often hide in cracks, crevices, behind baseboards, under sinks, and inside cupboards or bookshelves. Silverfish are attracted to paper, glue, and starchy materials, so they may also be found near books, cardboard boxes, wallpaper, and old clothing.
