Termites

Although not actually ants, and are even prey to certain ants, these insects are commonly called ‘white ants’ because of their appearance. Termites are known to feed on soil, leaf litter, wooden structures and furniture, which can result to huge damages to property if left unmanaged. A good number of its species are usually found in tropical regions, including Australia, while some are spread out in temperate areas.

Cockroaches are scavengers that are often seen indoors. They are also one of the fastest running insects, feeding mostly during the night. They can feed on human food, soap, dead insects, certain species and even digest wood. These creatures use their antennae and sensory bristles for finding food and can avoid threats with their ability to sense the changes in the air current. In Australia, there are over 420 species out of 4000 species of cockroaches. Many of the species found in Australia belong to the Blattidae family, which mostly consists of common household cockroaches.

Spiders

Spiders are arthropods (invertebrates), which commonly have eight legs. With the use of their spinnerets and silk glands in their abdomen, they are able to create webs. Spiders are predators, feeding on other insects, using their fangs to inject venom into their prey and trapping their prey with silk. In many instances, more than pests, spiders also cause phobia.

Almost too familiar to need description, mature female redbacks are jet black spiders with a variable red stripe on the back of their spherical abdomen. Their tough, untidy webs are usually near the ground with the spider hiding in a shelter in a corner, often guarding her round woolly egg sacs. Immature females are smaller, usually brown with whitish markings. Males are rarely seen; they are small and brown with red and white markings.

Ants

Ants are insects that live in nests mostly constructed from soil and plant matter. These insects carefully choose the location where they will build their nest, often constructing in trees or the ground. If their habitat is threatened, they can quickly leave and abandon their home. Inside homes, they can create nests under movable carpets, in walls, furnaces and mostly near moist areas. There are more than 1,200 species of ants present in Australia.

Certain species of rodents are agricultural pests in Australia. The house mice are most common in residential structures, storages and sheds, as well as agricultural areas. They can also multiply to large numbers and cause vast destruction, especially to crops. The black rats are found in tropical and temperate regions, usually dwelling in industrialised areas, commonly on the upper storeys. Both house mice and black rats can be disease-carriers.

Silverfish

Silverfish are wingless insects that can move swiftly. They feed on books, paper, starchy clothing and other starchy materials. Their bodies have bristles and are made up of silvery scales. In Australia, there are 28 species of silverfish from two families which can be found in many households. One of the families consists of the eyeless silverfish.

Mosquitoes are two-winged insects that have one of the largest orders in the world, consisting of about 2,000 species worldwide. Female mosquitoes bite warm-blooded animals and lay eggs in the water. Their bite can leave salivary fluid into the wound, which can also transmit diseases.

Fire Ants

Fire ants are dangerous, imported pests that could spread to large areas of Australia. Fire ants could severely damage the environment, our outdoor lifestyle, and the agriculture and tourism industries. They inflict a painful, fiery sting, which can, in rare cases, cause a severe acute allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).
