When the larvae hatch from the egg, they enveloped in a pupa for a few days, where they develop into an adult housefly. After the pupa stage they move along walls and crack to a dark hole. In the dark hole, they develop and unfold their wings. After 24 hours, the flies can fly, eat, and mate. Biolog…

…tive house longhorn beetle attack is under the influence of the age of the house. If the house is less than five years old, it is rarely possible to find any attacks. But the risk increases until the house’s twentieth year, after which it will fall again. If the house is more than 70 years old, it is one of the rarities that a new attack is underway. Unless the house has had new woodwork installed in connection with repairs. Prevention and pest co…

…The wood dust is powdery, but coarser than that made by powder post beetle larvae and more tightly packed ( see p. 128). Wood wasp exit holes in timber Woodwasps The exit holes have a diameter of up to 1 cm. They are circular, with completely smooth edges, and look as though they had been bored with a 10 mm drill. Wood wasps occur only in conifers, the larval tunnels being made in both sapwood and heartwood. The coarse wood dust is so tightly pac…

…on the house cricket females. The females have a long laying tube. Biology and behavior The house crickets are dependent on warm temperatures. They can easily stay outdoors during the warm summer months in Denmark, but in the winter, they must move to special outdoor locations that are heated. For instance, in a waste pile, where the fermentation in the waste causes a high temperature. However, the house cricket can cope with cold to a certain lim…

…ment cannot be carried out if the humidity is below 80% constant. When the larva pupates and transforms from a larva to an adult moth, it happens in a brownish cocoon that has the shape of a torpedo. Under normal circumstances, only one generation of brown house moth will hatch per year. Damage As described, bird nests are popular targets for the brown house moth to settle. Here they can feed on the birds’ feed residues and nesting material. But s…

…which are associated with plants in the grass family. The yellow swarming fly larvae develop in the plant roots from, especially grass. Here the larvae feed on the small root lice that are under the grass. Each season can offer many generations of new yellow swarming flies, but the fly only overwinters as an adult fly and not as a larva. During the spring months, the air can swarm by small yellow swarming fly that are on their way out of their wi…

…nizable as they have an almost airy and hovering way of flying. The banana fly larvae are between 4 and 5 millimeters long and are small maggots that have a whitish-yellow color.

This is also the reason why the banana flies are frequent guests in our kitchens, which can be a true p…

…eetle belongs to the family of shadow beetles (Tenebrionidae). Both adults and larvae are nocturnal. The adult beetles can fly and can be experienced in the middle of summer. The adult female beetle lays about 200 eggs during its 2–4-month adult life. The eggs are laid in starchy products, such as flour, grain, bread, and cereals. It takes a long time for the mealworm to develop; the development from egg to larva and to adult beetles can vary betw…

Flour moths is rarely a problem in private homes, but it can nonetheless be a problem in certain situations. Most often, the moths and moth larvae found in private homes are instead a two-colored seed moth. Flour moth is more often a problem in the industry.

You can also tell the difference between the cluster fly and the housefly by the fact that the wings of the cluster fly almost completely cover each other when standing still, almost like when a human is sitting with its legs crossed.

…are formed by a thin fold of skin that is located between the bat’s arm, hand, and fingers as well as the side and hind legs of its body and can be stretched out. There is also fly skin between the tail and the hind legs that continues all the way down to the feet. However, the feet are completely free of the skin. The feet have a completely different purpose, as the bat uses them when it hangs upside down and rests, or when it has to crawl aroun…

…and treats for signs so that any outbreak is not overlooked. Bread beetles and larvae can be killed by heating infected products at 60°C for about 10 minutes. It is also possible to get rid of the bread beetles by freezing, but it requires temperatures below -18°C for several days to get rid of all stages of the bread beetle, which is a lot more complicated. In addition, you can control the bread beetle with insect spray. Please note, however, tha…

…hat the house ticks can be transmitted between the apartments.  Prevention and pest control The house fleet originates from warmer latitudes and is therefore sensitive to the cold temperatures on Danish soil. This means that in Denmark it cannot overwinter outdoors or in unheated houses. Therefore, the control of the tick should preferably be directed towards treating the dog, just as one should find any breeding and hiding places indoors. Often,…

…in this country. Prevention and pest control To controlling the mosquitoes and larvae with pesticides in open air, is not appropriated. And no pesticides are approved for this purpose in Denmark. A possible option for reducing or controlling a mosquito infestation is extensive drainage, filling of puddles or local drainage. This method will lead to extreme changes in nature, which is why it is necessary to use other methods. The Invasive mosquitoe…

…le during the day. It is nocturnal and prefers to be active at night. Both larvae and the adult beetles all eat dried foods such as grains and bread products, cocoa, dried fruits, seeds, nuts, feathers, animal skin and dead insects.
