A complete guide to recognising the signs, dangers, and prevention of common household and business pests — from termites and rodents to mosquitoes and bed bugs.
Termites
Isoptera
Termites are social, cellulose-eating insects that destroy timber, ceilings, and documents from within, unseen. Termite damage can be severe if treated too late.
Learn moreRodents
Rodentia
Rodents are gnawing animals that contaminate food, damage cables and installations, and carry various diseases. Their population grows fast if uncontrolled.
Learn moreCockroaches
Blattodea
Cockroaches are insects that carry bacteria and trigger allergies. They hide in warm, humid places, then contaminate food and kitchenware.
Learn moreMosquitoes
Culicidae
Mosquitoes are blood-feeding insects that transmit serious diseases such as dengue, malaria, and chikungunya. They breed in standing water.
Learn moreAnts
Formicidae
Ants enter homes seeking food and water, contaminate food, and some species bite. Their colonies are large and hard to eliminate without targeting the nest.
Learn moreFlies
Diptera
Flies breed in waste and decaying matter, then land on food while transferring bacteria. They are a serious problem in restaurants and food-handling areas.
Learn moreBed Bugs
Cimex lectularius
Bed bugs are small blood-feeding insects that nest in mattresses, sofas, and furniture gaps. Their bites cause itching and disturb sleep quality.
Learn moreMites
