The common bed bug is a blood-feeding insect that hides in cracks and bedding, often causing itchy bites and infestations in human environments. Though not known to transmit disease, they are difficult to eliminate due to their elusive nature and rapid reproduction.

Fleas are tiny, fast-moving parasites that feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals, especially pets and humans. Their bites can cause itching, allergic reactions, and sometimes transmit disease.

Carpenter ants excavate wood to build their nests, creating smooth tunnels that can weaken structures over time. They do not eat wood but are often found in moist or damaged timber.

The German cockroach is a widespread indoor pest linked to disease and allergies, thriving in kitchens and bathrooms. It reproduces rapidly and is difficult to control once established.

The American cockroach, the largest commonly found indoors, is often seen near water sources and is active at night. It can spread bacteria and cause sanitation concerns in homes and buildings.

The house spider is a common indoor spider that poses little threat to humans but is considered a nuisance due to its webs. It actually helps control indoor insect populations.

Silverfish are fast-moving, wingless insects with a silvery appearance that feed on starchy materials like paper and fabric. They hide well, so their damage can go unnoticed for long periods.
