Wasp nests can appear almost any where from early summer through to winter, as each day goes by the new grubs are continuously hatching until the queen stops laying the eggs, there can be any thing up to 20,000 wasps in a large nest. Wasps give a very nasty sting that can affect humans to an extent where hospital treatment will be required or worse in some cases.

An example of a wasp nest

Hornets are far more difficult and dangerous to control than wasps. The nests resemble a large, inverted tear-drop shaped ball which typically is attached to a tree, bush or side of a building. Hornet nests may contain thousands which are extremely aggressive when disturbed. The nests are often located out of reach and removal is best accomplished by a professional pest control firm. As in all stinging wasps, hornets can sting multiple times—they do not die after stinging a human. A hornet's sting is painful to humans, but the sting toxicity varies greatly by hornet species. Some deliver just a typical insect sting, while others are among the most venomous known insects. Allergic reactions, fatal in severe cases, can occur—an individual suffering from anaphylactic shock may die unless treated immediately.

Bees only cause distress to people when a swarm enters their property, chimneys and wall cavities being a favourite place. If the swarm cannot be accessed by a beekeeper to be removed then the swarm can be destroyed professionally.

Typical worker ants are 3-4mm long of a brown/black colour with elbowed antennae and biting mouthparts. The queen tends to be much larger at about 10mm. Garden Ants usually nest outdoors in lawns, flower beds, beneath paving flags and at the base of walls. Premises are usually invaded by worker ants foraging for food, especially sweet foods. During summer, winged females (queens) and males leave the nest on one or two warm afternoons and take flight. During this flight, which may only last for 2- 3 hours, the ants mate. The formation of a new colony starts with a mated winged female digging into the earth to overwinter and start a new colony in the spring.

Adults, 6 mm long with a wingspan of 13-15mm and the 4th vein on the wing bends sharply forward. The thorax has 4 distinct stripes. The eggs are laid in decaying material, particularly rubbish dumps and manure heaps. Under ideal conditions it can take as little as 2 weeks to complete its life cycle.

There are several species of carpet beetle. The most common types are the black 'fur beetle' (attagenus pelio) which has a single white spot on each wing case and the 'varied carpet beetle' (anthrenus verbasci). The fur beetle is oblong shaped and 4½ to 6mm long, the varied carpet beetle is more oval in shape resembling a small mottled brown, grey and cream ladybird. Larvae of carpet beetles are fairly distinctive and are known as 'woolly bears'. They are quite hairy and tan in colour. There may be tail bristles as well. An adult female will produce up to one hundred creamy white eggs and deposit them in cracks and crevices. Within four weeks the eggs hatch and the emergent woolly bears embark on a continuous feeding binge and moult several times before pupating; the length of the larval life is normally 60-70 days but this may increase or decrease depending on temperature, humidity and diet.

Bedbugs now have full distribution throughout temperate zones of the world, although they favour the indoor environment. They are great travellers and are spread in luggage and furniture.The adults are up to 3.5mm in length and have a thin waist, large abdomen and long legs, giving the insects its spider-like appearance. They vary in colour from pale straw to brown depending on how long since they last fed and can last up to 1 year without a blood meal. The resulting bites cause severe irritatation and scratching can lead to secondary infection.

Males are approx 25mm in length with females being slightly larger at approx 32mm.They are shiny and very dark brown nearly black in appearanc with the nymphs being reddish brown.They are poor climbers on smooth surfaces and tend to be found in drains, sewers, and boiler houses. The egg case (ootheca) containing up to 16 eggs is laid near a food source and take 16 weeks to hatch. During the daytime cockroaches spend most of their time hidden away and emerge at night to feed. Adult cockroaches can live up to one year, during which females produce an average of 150 young. This cockroach prefers to feed on starchy foods but will adapt to survive.

The silverfish is a very primitive small, wingless insect typically measuring from 12–25 mm. Its common name derives from the animal's silvery blue colour, combined with the fish-like appearance of its movements, while the scientific name indicates the silverfish's diet of carbohydrates such as sugar or starches. It belongs to the insect order Thysanura, a group estimated to have existed for over 300 million years, at least since the Paleozoic Era. It is usually found in humid areas usually the kitchen or bathroom where it feeds on microscopic moulds and can be seen moving very fast when a light is switched on.

Adult fleas are 2-3 mm in length and generally of a shiny brown appearance. They have a thin, laterally flattened body and large hind legs which allow them to jump onto passing hosts. Flea eggs are about 0.5mm long, oval, pearly-white in colour and laid indiscriminately in the fur or feathers of the host or in its nest or bedding. Four to eight eggs are laid after each blood meal and a single female may produce 800 - 1000 eggs during her lifetime, which may be as long as two years. The larvae thrive in dark, humid places such as animal bedding and carpet fluff, and feed on organic debris and adult flea excrement. Cats' bedding may support a flea population of 8000 immature and 2000 adult forms.
