Mosquitoes
• Mosquitoes are mostly present around stagnant water, i.e. pools, water fountains, etc.
• It is very important to get rid of their breeding source as part of the extermination process.
Indian Meal Moth
• These moths fall into the category called secondary food infesting pest.
• They reproduce on old and rotting grains and nuts. Their eggs hatch up to six months after being laid. Therefore, they are difficult to exterminate if not done by a professional.
Spiders

Earwigs
Earwigs are usually found outside, but come inside and infest damp areas.

Flies
Very similar to fruit flies,
drain flies infest damp or wet areas. The dampness or leak must be solved as part of the extermination process.
Cluster flies,
fruit flies and house flies are the most common. Removing the breeding sources and professional spraying usually gets rid of them.
Cockroaches
German Cockroaches
• The small brown cockroaches usually seen in apartments are called German Cockroaches.
• One female produces an egg case with about 40 individuals every 3-4 weeks.
• A heavy infestation can result in asthma in humans.
Oriental Cockroaches
Oriental Cockroaches usually inhabit sewers and drains. These roaches are larger and less numerous than the German Cockroach.
Cat Flea
• Cat and dog fleas are tiny insects that suck blood then begin to reproduce. They lay their eggs in carpets and rugs. Their eggs remain viable up to six months.
• To exterminate them, the total surface of floors must be treated with and adulticide and ovicide and the dog or cat must be treated.
