The house fly is a common flying insect which is found all over the world but is usually in warmer climates because it is perfect there for their growth. It is an insect with 2 weeks of breeding cycle and lays as many as about 500 eggs at a time. The maximum life span of the common house fly is four weeks...
Cockroaches are the most disgusting insects. It is common for some people to see them running about at home damaging the wallpaper and books, snacking on food, then spreading infection to the family members. These insects avoid light and so are active at night, so it is fairly common to find them hiding in dark crevices and shady, moist places...
There is a growing likelihood that the rooms you take in hotels will have bed bugs. I am not talking of a cheap room in a doss-house, but rooms in any hotel in the world. Expensive suites and first-class hotels are also as likely to have bed bugs as the flop-house. This is obviously very bad news for the traveller and tourist...
Ants seem quite innocuous to a lot of people. In most temperate climates, ants do very little damage, although red ants bite people all around the planet. However, there are more dangerous ants in warmer countries and some of these ants can even be the cause of hospitalizations and even a few fatalities...
So, you have got some time off work, college or school and you want to sit in the open air and enjoy it. Maybe even go on holiday somewhere. Great idea! However what occurs when you get where you are going? The mosquitoes come out to bite you.If it were not so commonplace, it would sound like Freddy Kruger and Nightmare on Elm Street...
Bed bugs are a mounting source of aggravation, particularly in the developed Western world, because bed bugs were mostly cleared out there by the late 1950's. This means that most people under 50 years of age had almost certainly never seen a bedbug until after 1995, when they made a big comeback...
Bed bugs have almost certainly been bothering people for ever, especially in warmer countries. In fact Aristotle wrote of them in 400 BC, but they were not common in the United Kingdom until after the Great Fire of London in 1666. People believed that bed bugs lived in timber because the bed bug infestations only commenced after 1670...
There is a general sentiment that most house insects are pests, but interestingly lots of them play a crucial function in the ecological system. Lots of insects serve as food for birds and other insects; hence the complete depletion of any insect species would prove detrimental for the growth of other useful species on Earth...
Well-nigh every household had bed bugs before the Second World War, which meant that lots of people were bitten every night and hence the popularity of that rhyme. The Baby Boomers never saw bed bugs while they were children and so were the first generation for 400 years not to suffer from bed bug problems...
Bed bugs are not a new social issue by any means. People have been complaining about them for centuries, although they were not lively in each country at the same time. There were bed bugs near the Mediterranean Sea thousands of years ago, but they did not arrive in Britain until the Seventeenth Century and to America until slightly after that...
