This happens especially if the bats for any reason disappears from the house and the bed bugs are left without their natural food source. Pigeon bugs (Cimex c…

Common woodboring beetles

…boring beetle larva will cease. This is also the reason why attacks by the common woodboring beetle are rare in newer houses, as the climate indoor is healthy with a low humidity. Damage There is no doubt that the common woodboring beetle leaves harmful traces that are highly visible.

It forces the common black ant to find its food indoors until it gets warmer and ap…

Common clothes moth

Latin: Tineola bisselliella Common clothes moth This small moth, now common in human habitations in temperate countries, came originally from warmer parts of the world.
