What pest insects can inhabit city ​​apartment and reproduce, as well as what kind of harm to the inhabitants of the dwelling - we will get acquainted.

Insects that have settled in an apartment are divided not only by appearance, but also by the damage that they can inflict on residents and pets. With some representatives of pests who have chosen human housing, people sometimes get along, but there are those who make such a neighborhood unbearable.

These insects are from the category of those who are able to turn the life of the inhabitants of the apartment into a living hell, while posing a direct threat to health. When bitten, they share with the victim of the attack pathogens of formidable infections that directly enter the bloodstream, causing a guaranteed infection in the bitten one. In addition, allergies occur in the affected areas, itching and redness are noted. The situation with bites can lead to dermatitis.

Bed bugs

These small insects in the apartment are hardly noticeable, they hide from the light, attacking only in the dark. They live and breed in dark, inaccessible areas - crevices, niches, behind cabinets and hanging paintings, in the bottom of sofas and armchairs, inside household appliances.

They are small, highly flattened brown insects. They are found in the apartment rather on the left excrement and blood traces on the bed.

Suspected by science as vectors for insensitive bites to humans, such infections:

  1. Smallpox;
  2. Hepatitis B;
  3. tularemia;
  4. tuberculosis;
  5. typhoid fever;
  6. brucellosis;
  7. anthrax.

But the most tangible sign of such a neighborhood is the deprivation of restful sleep and itchy marks on the skin from night bug attacks.

By the way! Bedbugs, having got to a constant source of food, not being discovered and exterminated in time, will populate even the most well-groomed apartment, absolutely regardless of the owners' observance sanitary regulations... Therefore, it is not entirely correct to believe that bedbugs are an indicator of slovenliness, and even more so you should not be ashamed of the fact of their appearance in the house.

Fleas

It is also not easy to find these frisky and painfully biting insects in the apartment - the flea moves with lightning speed in a jump, which can reach half a meter. The bloodsucker can be noticed only at the moment of the bite, which, in terms of pain and itching, cannot be confused with other types of insects that can populate an apartment.

The flea's body is small, devoid of wings, narrow at the sides, covered with the smallest bristles, due to which the bloodsucker feels at ease in the thick of wool or pile, the chest and head have characteristic ridges. The color is predominantly brown.

Insects similarly try to occupy cracks, niches, carpets, soft upholstery and other safe areas of the apartment. When bitten, they can endow the victim with such a "bouquet" of infections:

  1. Sarcopsillosis;
  2. pulicosis;
  3. bacteria of plague, tularemia, brucellosis;
  4. salmonella and rickettsiae;
  5. hepatitis and encephalitis viruses;
  6. protozoa and helminths.

Pay attention to pets, to the presence of rodents in the basement and in the attic of the house, to bird nests in the area of ​​windows and balconies. These are the most likely outbreaks of a flea invasion of the apartment.

Lice

The head louse is not literally a house insect that inhabits an apartment, since it lives and reproduces exclusively in the human hair zone. But the wardrobe loves to dwell on the villi of clothes, in its folds. From there, it easily moves to the host's body, where there is hair, and is saturated with his blood.

The body of the head bloodsucker is less oblong and has a color closer to gray, and the body cover of the body is transparent, through which you can see the contents of the abdomen filled with blood.

The bites of these insects are very sensitive and are accompanied by disturbing itching, which provokes scratching on the head. Infection with lice and nits is called pediculosis.

These domestic insects in the apartment cause both damage to health and damage to property in the room. Therefore, they are also actively subjected to destruction by the tenants, whose house they dared to choose.

Cockroaches

These insects running around the apartment, even without a photo and a name, will be recognized by everyone. Of the many cockroaches, only two have taken root in humans - a brown Prusak and a black cockroach.

These domestic pests, being completely omnivorous, absorb almost all organic matter in the apartment - food debris, paper, fabrics, skin. There are documented facts of gnawing the surface layer of the skin in sleeping people.

Possessing a superbly developed gnawing apparatus with powerful hard jaws, the cockroach is able to inflict painful bites. And since this usually happens at night, when the insect feels safe and is active, sleeping children are especially vulnerable to the threat.

By contacting regularly with garbage, insects are transferred to fresh food and dishes of causative agents of dysentery, salmonellosis, can cause disorders digestive system cause allergies.

For your information! In addition to pesticides, they die from the cold. They love not only warmth, but also dampness.

Household (pharaoh) ants

It is easy to notice these yellow or light brown small insects in the apartment - they do not hide, openly traveling in colonies along the walls of the dwelling, occupying any space they like, where it is warm, not dry and there is a lot of food. They can be found in the most unexpected places - between the pages of books, under the wallpaper, in packed cereals, in wardrobes.

The family of insects can reach several hundred thousand individuals, and the anthill covers the entire territory apartment building... Therefore, it is so difficult to lime them from the apartment - all premises in the house, both residential and general, have to be treated with insecticides.

They bite painfully, while carrying some dangerous viruses, in particular, polio. Small pets can be killed by hiding in the respiratory tract.

Moth

This nondescript butterfly also needs no introduction, as it is known to everyone for its ability to gnaw through fur, skin and fabric, making clothes unsuitable for further wear, as well as spoiling food.

  1. (home) "specializes" in furs, doing on fur products"Haircut" and putting offspring there.
  2. (indoor) at the stage of imago does no harm, but its caterpillars perforate clothes and upholstery of upholstered furniture, not disdaining plant food - stocks of cereals and flour.

There is also a grain moth, which is also called a barn moth, it can also appear in a dwelling, because it feeds on rice, wheat and corn. But the apartment is not a typical habitat for it.

The bugs in the apartment are different: small, large, of various shades. The appearance of insects, lifestyle and eating habits also differ. Some feed on the blood of warm-blooded creatures, while others leave characteristic bites. However, all insects in the apartment are attracted by the special conditions of existence. For this reason, for effective fight it is required to study pests.

To prepare for destruction, you should consider representatives of the main species often found in the human dwelling. If you understand what kind of domestic insects are, why they get turned on, what they eat, it will be easier to deal with them. Living conditions attract moths, ants, flies, silverfish, wood lice and grinders.

More about moths

In a human dwelling, you can find different representatives of this species:

  • Fur coat moth
  • Wardrobe
  • Food grade.

The clothes pest destroys wardrobe items made of natural and semi-synthetic material. The preferred food for fur moth is natural fur and wool.

Food brethren grind down cereals and other groceries. An adult individual may not eat at all, but the younger generation, after emerging from the cocoon, is the most dangerous. This means that it is the larvae that destroy stocks, spoil clothes, and flying insects do not pose a danger, they only lay eggs.

Officially they represent a group of crustaceans, but are often referred to as insects. Woodlice can live on the first floors apartment buildings, next to a source of dampness and moisture (basement). By way of life, these pests are more like cockroaches. Representatives of the rough wood lice species are found in apartments much more often.

As the name suggests, pests need their main source of life - water. This means that it is easier to deal with them, you just need to block access to moisture. These creatures pose a danger to the reserves of vegetables, plant shoots.

Amazes wood materials while remaining unnoticed. It should be clarified that the insect larvae do the harm, not the beetle itself. Almost the entire tree is damaged. The insect gnaws at it, forming long passages. However, pests do not scrape to the surface, thereby creating the illusion of the integrity of the piece of furniture or wooden structure... At one of the developmental stages, the larvae pupate, which usually occurs in areas immediately below the bark. Then the beetles appear.

These insects are more common in the home where you can access the sewer. This means that they inhabit bathrooms and toilets. The development of larvae occurs in the sewer, garbage. Flies are small in size, and the wings are much larger than the body. This is the main criterion by which houseflies differ from butterflies.

Ants

Representatives of two varieties can live on the territory of a human house / apartment: (aka brownie), a thief ant. Fighting them is usually ineffective, since insects equip nests on different sites, which are sometimes located outside the apartment. Ants harm food and are a source of disease-causing microbes. To destroy these insects in an apartment, you need to work together with your neighbors.

They can appear in places with increased level humidity, where, moreover, it is quite dark. Insects do not pose a serious danger, although they feed on groceries. Sugar silverfish love sugar. However, the diet is based on organic scales that pests find in dust deposits in crevices, on the floor, baseboards. They crawl out of hiding places at night.

Types of small beetles and their features

Pests of very small sizes, brown or black, can often appear in the kitchen. Among them, kozheedy, flour beetles are more common. Some common beetles in a residential apartment are a kind of kozheedov, for example, a bread grinder. All of these insects have an individual set of dietary habits.

It is characterized by small size (on average 1.75-3 mm), color - brown. These little bugs can eat a wide variety of foods, but prefer flour products. In the absence of other food, dried fruits, dried herbs, books, and grain are affected. The larvae cause irreparable harm, since the products they have visited cannot be eaten. Adults do not eat, but make moves in bread products and other food.

There are various types of domestic insects. Among them is another small pest - flour beetle. The size is slightly larger - it reaches 5 mm. It is a pest that lives in the kitchen and appears in cereals and flour, bran. Color - brown with a red tint. Sometimes Khrushchaks are called red bugs.

Submitted by different kinds, each of which is harmful to certain items and products. It can be a fur coat, carpet leather-eater, bread grinder. If things in the house suffer from natural materials: fur, leather, it is highly likely that a fur coat pest has wound up. Representatives of the carpet species live, respectively, in the carpet. The bread grinder consumes food.

Clothing pests settle on clothes, but feed on human blood. It is noteworthy that representatives of each of the varieties can be found only on the corresponding parts of the body.

Bathrooms seduce many varieties precisely because of the constant humidity and dampness, which are favorable for living and reproduction.

Insects in the bathroom: photos and names

What insects harm in the house

Ants

Ants are not only pests of gardens, but also ... of kitchens. Sensitive to odors, they make their way into an apartment or house through cracks in the floor and garbage chutes to establish a colony near a potential food base.

Getting rid of insects is difficult. Especially if the colony has already grown. In addition to eating food supplies, some species of ants can bite painfully pets, children, and even adults. Bite wounds do not heal well. Immediately after the bite, you feel a burning sensation and tingling sensation - so human body reacts to formic acid trapped under the skin.

Moth

The moth is almost indigenous to most living quarters. This nondescript butterfly strives to get as deep as possible into the closets, laying eggs on clothes made of woolen fabrics and fur. The hatched larvae happily grind holes in clothes, collars, hats and shoe lining (tsigheyke), leading to damage to these things.

Individuals prefer to damage foodstuffs... Therefore, the larvae can unexpectedly be found in old cereals, a bag of crackers or dried fruits.

Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are real Warming "symbol" outside. They enter the room through open windows and vents, and terrorize the owners at night, leaving itchy bites on the body. Females feed exclusively on blood. They need it for reproduction. Mosquitoes keep in humid, darkened and cool rooms. Their accumulation can be observed in storerooms or basements.

Rainy weather leads to the growth of mosquito colonies.

And mosquitoes stay mainly in dumps and wetlands on the street, from where they fly into apartments.

Grinders

Wood grinders appear in apartments with floors and furniture from natural wood... For a short period, insects damage legs, unpainted furniture parts and floorboards, gradually turning them into dust.

They prefer dry wood, devoid of paint or varnish coating.

Insects get into apartments from warehouses with paper (cardboard, napkins) or from neighbors. You can see pests at night. If you turn on the light, silverfish painted whitish or grey colour, will immediately rush scattered. Adults have long head antennae and protruding bristles in the lower part of the body (the pests belong to the bristle tails). The main method of control is dryness in the room and low temperatures(below +26).

Flies, wasps and ticks (brought from the forest on clothes) can also be accidental "guests" of the house. However, they cannot be called household pests.

Conditions for the appearance of pests

First of all, the reason for the settling of a house or apartment with insects is the carelessness of the owners and non-observance of sanitary standards.

It is enough to observe simple rules to prevent the emergence of most pests:

  1. Mosquito nets should be installed on windows and doors.
  2. Clothes made from natural fabrics and fur are packed in plastic bags.
  3. All food stocks are, if possible, placed in an airtight container.
  4. The gaps in the floor are closed in time, and the garbage chutes are treated with insecticides.
  5. Pets are regularly treated with flea and tick drugs.
  6. Bed linen is washed, floors are thoroughly washed, and carpets are cleaned with a steam mop.

However, the reason for the appearance of pests may be the most unexpected. For example, fleas or bedbugs sometimes enter the house with new furniture, mattresses. You can also accidentally bring them from a business trip.

  • To destroy bedbugs, furniture and bed linen are steamed with a vacuum cleaner or steam mop. You can treat the surfaces with special aerosols (for example, "Raptor") and thoroughly ventilate the rooms for several hours.
  • You can get rid of cockroaches by treating with a spray (for example, "Combat") or poisonous crayon skirting boards, window sills and places of accumulation of insects.
  • Fleas are evicted from the apartment by washing the floor and furniture with animal shampoo (Doctor ZOO is suitable), specially created to combat this type of pest.
  • Furniture and wood against grinders are processed oil formulations(antiseptics). Neomid 46 BIO is considered the best.
  • The moth is afraid of strong odors. For example lavender. Therefore, it is advisable to wipe cabinets for prophylaxis with aqueous solutions of essential oils.
  • Gels (, "Zindan") or powders are applied against ants in the area of ​​baseboards and furniture corners.
  • Mosquitoes are successfully repelled by ultrasonic devices or scented plates.
  • In case of prolonged and unsuccessful pest control, you must contact the professional pest control service!
