PEST EXHIBIT

Mosquitoes unleash horror in the minds of many, especially those who have had a bad reaction to their bites. So, the best way to protect yourself from mosquitoes is by all-round prevention. Mosquitos are at their prime during dusk and dawn. However, mosquitoes are highly functional at all times of the day, especially on those warm, humid days, best suited for having fun outdoors. The best method to keep mosquitoes at bay is by frequently cleaning your house.

QUICK TIPS

PAPER PHEROMONES

Cockroaches are known to love the smell of paper, which soaks up the pheromones that they put out to tell their partners in crime that they’ve found a food source, so definitely avoid storing stacks of newspapers and magazines on the floor.

FUN FACTS

WHO NEEDS A HEAD?

Cockroaches can live for weeks without their heads. The head isn’t important to how they function, so their legs will continue to respond to stimuli. No wonder a cockroach was Wall-E’s faithful friend!

FUN FACTS

GIANT COCKROACH

Believe it or not, even the cockroach can make a pet for the truly adventurous. The heaviest of the species is the giant burrowing cockroach. It can grow up to 80mm in length and is odourless and clean.
