Common Pests In Deshler, Ohio

Anopheles Mosquitoes

Anopheles mosquitoes are identified by their brownish-yellow hue and scaly wings, and are characterized by their resting posture at a slight upward angle. Female Anopheles mosquitoes require blood meals for egg production, and will bite animals such as cattle or humans for this purpose. These mosquitoes are known to seek out dim, sheltered areas to rest during the day, while they remain active during the night. In natural settings, Anopheles mosquitoes have a lifespan of up to two weeks and are frequently found near water sources, regardless of size.

Subterranean Termites

Subterranean termites are a diverse group of insects with specialized body shapes based on their roles in the colony. The swarmers, also known as alates, have wings and are responsible for reproduction. Workers, which are the most numerous caste, have smaller jaws and are responsible for foraging, feeding, and caring for the young. Soldiers, with large heads and long mandibles, are responsible for defending the colony against predators. Subterranean termites are known to build colonies underground and invade Deshler, OH homes by tunneling through soil. They construct mud tubes to provide a protective and controlled environment for themselves as they access wood for food.

Oriental cockroaches have a shiny black exterior. Males grow to 25 millimeters in length and have short wings. Females reach 32 millimeters and do not have wings. Oriental cockroaches are commonly found in dark and damp areas such as drain pipes, sewers, basements, and crawl spaces. They prefer to feed off of trash and decaying organic matter. While their bites are not dangerous, they can spread many diseases by simply walking around. Take care of any leaks, regularly clean garbage cans, and seal off potential points of entry to prevent them from entering a home.
