Cockroaches.
These insects are found almost everywhere and because of this, they are known to carry germs and bacteria. Like most insects, cockroaches favour conditions that provide food, water and shelter and thrive in such environments. Although cockroaches are nocturnal, you should start worrying if you spot one during the day as this often indicates a large infestation.
Termites.
When it comes to damage to a home, this insect has seen its fair amount. Termites have their nests in walls, under buildings, timber around the home as well as in trees and poles. They feed on the matter of dead plants and trees that supplies organic fibre, which is why they are attracted to your home. They will be found in your home’s furniture, hardwood floors and the homes framing which can affect the structural integrity of the house.

With over 35 000 species of spiders in the world, you might not be sure which one inhabits your home. So, don’t take the chance and contact a pest inspection service before you or your loved one is bitten by a poisonous one.
