Pests are animals that we consider to be damaging to us or our goings-on. We create circumstances where populations of these pests exist in much larger numbers than would ever be found in their normal environment and close to us. We provide them with more places for shelter, food supply, for some pests we are the source of food, and fewer predators. Urban pests are those animals that flourish in the human environment and impact on us in a detrimental way, such as carrying disease, damaging buildings, tainting and eating food in our homes, or nourishing on our blood and causing annoying bites.
Urban pests include:
Ants: stings, food pest, damage outdoor areas
Rodents: food pests, damage to buildings and carry diseases
Bed bugs: blood feeding
Fleas: blood feeding and disease vectors
Wasps: stings
Beetles: damage food and wooden structures; foul food
Cockroaches: food pests and carriers of disease
Flies: bites
Birds: mainly pigeons, starlings and sparrows that foul buildings, carry diseases
Lice: blood feeding
Mites: human and animal parasites
Mosquitoes: blood feeding and carry diseases
Moths: food and natural product pests
Ticks: blood feeding and disease vectors
