Indoor termites cause serious damage to wooden buildings, especially in Southeast Asia, where termite activities are frequent and widespread. They eat the wood in the building, gradually weakening the structure of the building, which may cause damage to the load-bearing part of the house. Termites are highly adaptable and have strong reproductive capabilities, particularly in warm and humid environments, where they can multiply rapidly in a short period. Termite damage is not limited to buildings; it can also affect indoor furniture, paper, and other materials.
If cockroaches were just irritating and loathsome, people wouldn’t hate cockroaches. They have this nagging habit of going places like the kitchen, moving over food, walking down our clothes etc. All this makes you feel disgusting, isn’t it? You should be. After all, these insects live in garbage, feed on waste food and live in the dirt. But this isn’t the end.
Cockroaches are some of the most unsightly pests one can see in their house. They are also capable of spreading disease-causing pathogens, triggering allergic reactions and exacerbating asthma. Cockroaches contaminate the surfaces upon which they walk and the food with which they come into contact. For these reasons, it’s important to know how to tell if you have cockroaches, what species of cockroaches you may see in your house, and how to prevent or eliminate them.
Mosquitoes are vectors of major diseases such as malaria, dengue, etc, which cannot be effectively controlled by conventional insecticide based strategies, although the use of insecticide treated bednets, which targets blood-seeking females, can be very successful in certain situations against malaria. In addition to the direct human cost, malaria hinders economic development and poses a serious threat for new areas.
