Most insect pests pose a threat due to the unsanitary conditions they love to hide in. For instance, cockroaches find most of their sustenance rummaging through our bins and discarded waste. Some pests are more directly harmful than others, but all pests can be put broadly into two categories: flying insects and crawling insects.
Any crawling insect can track harmful bacteria from the outside world into your home. These include:
Some insects, like ants, are functionally harmless but still pose a threat due to their ability to contaminate surfaces. Others are more openly destructive. Bed Bugs feast on our blood as we sleep. Fleas dine on our pets and carpet beetles destroy valuable rugs. Here are the main ways crawling insects harm humans and households.
The majority of insects have wings. Some species, like ants or moths, have wings for a limited portion of their lifespans only on a certain type. Some, like cockroaches, have wings but cannot functionally fly. Others have full flying capability.
Flying insects can reach anywhere in the home. They hide in corners and areas that may be difficult to access. Some of the most common flying insects include:
Flying insects cause damage to health and home through:
There are many different methods of pest control. These range from invasive chemical disruption to basic hygiene practices. The best method of pest control is always preventative. By knowing the lifecycles and behaviours of common UK pests, you can lower the risk of infestation.
Pests like ants and cockroaches feed on the same types of food we do. To keep them away, the best action is to make sure we’re not leaving out breakfast, lunch and dinner for them. Ensure that these kitchen standards are always adhered to:
Around the home, make sure walls, doors and windows are fully sealed and without external damage. Ensure interior and exterior plumbing and pipework has no defects or leakage that may attract pests.. As well as clearing away dust, hair and food mess, regular vacuuming around the property can break pheromone trails ants use to find their way back to food sources.
With some pests, it’s possible to find the infestation’s source. Depending on the type of pest, this may be a harbour, a hive or a nest. For instance, pouring boiler water into ant hills is an oft-used and effective method of controlling ant populations.
Some pest infestations always require professional intervention.
Rats, wasps and some types of woodworm can cause severe structural damage. They may also seriously threaten human health. Never disturb a suspected wasp’s nest. Do not attempt to handle live or dead rats.
