Digger bees are pollinators active in early spring. Each female makes a burrow in sandy or bare soil, and will provide her egg with a pollen ball. These bees are generally harmless, but you can discourage them from nesting in an area by overseeding with grass.
Mass trappings are sometimes used to crash rodent populations. These can be particularly effective when combined with efforts to eliminate food sources through sanitation and harborage areas through exclusion. This NYC alley provided food in the form or garbage at the end of the alley, and shelter in the stone foundation.

BMSB is an overwintering pest that enters buildings in the fall through cracks and crevices around windows and doors. On warm days the bug is attracted to windows and lights. For information on keeping BMSB out: www.nysipm.cornell.edu/buildings/prezis/BMSB_prezi.asp
Clothes moths feed on products of animal origin that contain keratin. Therefore, clothes made of synthetic materials are not likely to be damaged by clothes moth, unless soiled with human sweat. This hole in a T-Shirt likely resulted from laundering practices, manufacturer defects, or getting caught on something sharp.
Cellophane bees are pollinators active in early spring. Each female makes a burrow in sandy or bare soil, and will provide her egg with a pollen ball. These bees are generally harmless, but you can discourage them from nesting in an area by overseeding with grass or a groundcover planting.

ALB is 1 to 1.5 inches long, shiny black with white spots. When adult females prepare a site to lay eggs, she will chew 35-90 oval depressions (oviposition sites), and will deposit one egg below the bark at each site. For more information: asianlonghornedbeetle.com/spot-it/

flowers in late spring and summer. For more information, visit turfweeds.cals.cornell.edu/plant/identify/173.
Cicada Killer Wasps are large insects (1.5 inches) that are present in summer months. Female wasps are solitary, each digging their own burrow in bare/open soil. Male wasps will guard a female nest and chase other wasps and humans that approach. Fortunately they cannot sting. Female wasps are beneficial by reducing cicada populations, which they provide to their larvae as food.

Even in harsh winter conditions, rats must forage for food. These trails highlight that rodents will follow safe/known paths. Notice the large area of undisturbed snow in comparison to the few sets of tracks.

Driving through the farmlands of Iowa near Amana, I spotted a biplane flying at a low altitude. Hoping for a shot I soon realized that the plane was landing.
I drove to where I hoped I would find the plane and spotted Bill and a friend getting set to park the plane for the night.
Soft-spoken Bill has been a pilot for about 30 years and has been in the crop dusting business for about 20. To an observer it would seem to be an exciting job, but Bill says it can get rather mundane at times. The busy season lasts from June through August, but the business of maintaing the business and the plane consumes about 8 months out of the year. His business generally flies within a 40 mile radius of Amana, occasionally flying to Illinois when needed.
In the 1980s Bill had begun training for the Federal Aviation Administration as an air traffic controller. The crop dusting business had a brief spurt (insect infestation) during which there was much business to be done. Bill hoped to reapply to the FAA after a brief time, but as you can see he is still flying and enjoying it. So much for the plans of men.
Bill was very gracious in answering my many questions about the crop dusting business. He has a great knowledge of many things in the aviation and agricultural fields.

Norway rats can squeeze under openings that are 1/2 inch (12 mm) high, roughly the thickness of a Sharpie, or through round openings 3/4 inch (19 mm) in diameter, roughly the size of a quarter. These sizes are based on measurements of rat skulls.

In some situations, snap traps can be 'baited' with string, dental floss or other nesting material to attract/capture female rodents. Using nest material as bait can reduce the incidence of secondary pests, such as ants and cockroaches that can feed on bait products.

English ivy is an aggressive ornamental plant that has escaped cultivation to become very invasive in the United States. It can crowd out native plants with dense mats of vines as a ground cover. English ivy is difficult to remove and, with its habit of trailing up and over trees, can cause damage by weakening and helping to topple trees.

In Girraween NP. Trap is used to capture wild pigs lured in with suitable bait such as apples. As wild pigs are very wary the trap may only be used every few years to allow the survivors get over the previous event.
Note wild (feral) pigs are very damaging to the environment in these places.

Promoting healthy insect ecosystems is a necessary step in ensuring agricultural sustainability in Cambodia. Agricultural producers in Southeast Asia will need to build resilience by embracing landscape approaches and adopting climate-smart practices. Their success depends not only on the potential impact of ecosystem services, but also on willingness of farmers to adopt these practices.

Cockroaches brownish black or tan, shiny flat bodied foul smelling insects are well known and are found all over world . More than 3000 species of cockroaches are known to occur throught out the world. They are very active at night or in dark places. Their filthy habits, repulsive appearance, odour and possibility that they spread diseases like Tuberculosis, Cholera, Leprosy, Dysentery and Typhoid make them very dangerous. They destroy food, damage fabrics and book-bindings and contaminate the materials over which they crawl by their excreta.
The cockroaches do not lay their eggs singly. They are laid in groups, each group being covered by a hard covering matrix.
Cockroaches frequently enter into the houses through small inlets crevices, hole and openings of floors, walls doorframes, spaces behind wooden furniture. It is desirable that wooden utensils or furniture’s are avoided in the houses. Modern practice is to use marble-made utensils like shelves, cupboards etc. Special attention be given to water and drainage pipe. Several observations have shown the city-drainage-systems are most important breeding sites for American Cockroaches.

(B) German Cockroach.
(C) Oriental Cockroach.
