MOST COMMON INSEC TS AND BUGS There are many unwanted insects in this world with some of the most common ones cited below. BED BUGS (Cimex lectularius) In recent years bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) have become more and more widespread with environments that were previously free from infestation such as hotel rooms, rail carriages and airplane cabins now suffering from this surge. These are species that can withstand fasting for many months. In the daytime they hide in mattresses, baseboards and at night they come out of hiding places and feed on the blood of people and animals. After mating, females...

They are primarily found where these dry foodstuffs are stored and are widespread due to global trade. They deposit up to 500 eggs four times a year. The adult Grain Beetle measures about 3.5mm.The optimal temperature for killing insects, larvae and eggs is about 50°C. The bugs need to be exposed to the temperature for a minimum of one hour, preferably longer. CIGARETTE & DRUGSTORE BEETLE (Stegobium paniceum) (Coleoptera) The beetles and...

BUG PEST CONTROL USING HEAT IS SAFE AND RESPECTS THE ENVIRONMENT In this ever increasing drive to use environmentally friendly methods it is important to highlight the ecological potential of extermination by the use of heat. The optimal temperature for rapid development of insects range from 27-33°C, depending on the species. It is also known that the insects, in every stage of development, including egg, die within minutes if a temperature in the environment of around 50-60°C is reached. Between 40-50°C total mortality occurs in one day as insects die from dehydration. It is therefore evident...

It is possible that, in particular, mobile adult insects tend to escape to reach more favourable environments. Therefore, it is advisable to plug any holes, cracks or gaps in the tiled floor or doors that will prevent the insects from escaping. Biotests can also be used to gauge the success of the operation. The biotests are small boxes containing insects, larvae and eggs that can be placed inside the room. Their death will be proof of the effectiveness of the treatment. At present, both in Europe and in other parts of the world, exterminations are carried out with heating the entire building,...
