Red Back Spider

There are different species of Spiders like The Jumping Spider, Huntsman Spider, Wolf Spider, Red-back Spider, Golden Orb weaver Spider etc. which are endemic to Australia. Some spiders keep their webs concealed and hence it is very difficult to eradicate them completely from a household. The lifecycle of a typical Red-Back Spider starts with the male spider attracting the female red-back by showing off his abdomen. After mating, the female red-back spider lays several batches of eggs after every 25-30 days. A single female red-back spider lays up to 5000 eggs in a group of 9-12 egg sacs. The eggs hatch in 13-15 days and the female spider matures in 4 months. The male red-back spiders are smaller in size and mature in 37-167 days. Average life span of a female Red-back spider is between 2-3 years while the male red-back lives for 6 to 7 months, and usually eaten by the female Redback during mating.

The Red-back spider is known to have neurotoxin venoms with bites causing excruciating pain. First aid treatment should be provided which includes cold packs or cold water to alleviate the pain. An effective antivenin is available for the treatment of Red-back spider bites. Non chemical spider control methods include: Keeping the household and surroundings clean to discourage insect infestation by Dusting and use of vacuum cleaners to remove spider webs and eggs. Red-back spiders can survive extreme temperatures and stay alive without food for around 100-300 days. The control of Spiders and specifically Red-Back spider needs professional help from Safe Pest Control who provide the most effective eco-friendly pest control service to thwart the danger posed by Red-back spiders.

Bed bugs life cycle

Bed Bugs are small parasitic insects who feed on human blood. There can be a number of health effects arising due to bed bugs like skin rashes, allergic symptoms and welts on exposed areas of skin. Typically a bed bug has six life stages which include five immature and an adult stage. Bed bugs must molt six times before becoming fertile adults. One female bed bug may produce up to 500 offspring during its lifetime, and three generations can live per year. A female bed bug can deposit three to eight eggs at a time. A total of 300-500 eggs can be produced by a single bug. She uses a sticky substance to glue her eggs to rough surfaces. Eggs hatch in 1-2 weeks. Before molting, a Nymph needs a blood meal. It molts 5 times to reach adulthood. Adult bed bugs live about 10 months, though some may live substantially longer. Bed bugs can thrive very quickly depending on the source of their blood meal and the temperature. Bed bugs locate their warm-blooded hosts by detecting exhaled carbon dioxide. A bug will go through 5 stages of development before maturity – this process can take anything from 32 to 48 days.

Flea Life Cycle

Fleas are holometabolous insects, passing through a sequence of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and imago. The flea is a blood-feeding parasite which can be transferred from host to host. Once on the host the female flea takes two or three blood meals a day and soon begins to lay twenty or thirty eggs each day. Depending on environmental conditions, it can take between two weeks and six months for flea eggs to reach adulthood, although the average is three to four weeks in most homes. The flea eggs are generally concentrated in an area frequented by pets like resting places and bedding. The larva is legless, whitish and maggot-like in appearance, having a single row of bristles on each side.  The larvae molt through three larval instars, lasting from 6-36 days, depending on temperature and humidity. Larvae are negatively photo tactic, hence more likely to be found in dark, shaded, or protected places. Larvae form cocoons by secreting a stick substance and incorporating debris from surrounding areas for camouflage. Pupa progresses from larval form to a recognizable flea inside the cocoon. Adults are wingless and black to brownish black in colour. Fleas can cause a lot of health problems and hence it is highly important to eradicate their infestation.

German Cockroach

The German cockroach is the most common cockroach species causing trouble in households. The German cockroach’s life cycle goes through three life stages typical of insects with incomplete metamorphosis: the egg, nymph, and adult. Their entire life cycle spans approximately 100 days, although this is dependent on factors such as temperature, diet and injuries. Under ideal conditions of temperature and diet, the population growth is exponential.

German Cockroach Life Cycle

Unlike other cockroach species, the female German cockroach carries the oothecae attached to her abdomen until they hatch. Nymphs break free from their egg cases through conjunctive effort and remain close together after hatching. They undergo six or seven nymphal stages, known as instars, before emerging as winged adults capable of reproduction. The German cockroach is omnivorous, eating table scraps, pet food, and even book bindings. In a thriving population of German cockroaches, the ratio is 80 percent nymphs and 20 percent adults. Adult German cockroaches are nocturnal insects that hide during the day and scavenge at night. Despite their fully developed wings, German cockroaches fly very rarely.

Termites

Termites are notorious of being the most destructive pest capable of inflicting massive damages to your property. The Life Cycle of a Termite indicates three castes, the reproductive termites, the workers and the soldiers. The Life Cycle begins with the winged male and female members of the colony taking flight, swarming to reproduce. Further, the reproductive termites are classified as The Alates, the De-Alates, Queen and King and the Neotenics. The Workers are considered indispensable as they take care of food and other needs of the colony. They are sterile, wingless and blind. A typical worker termite’s lifecycle has three stages- egg, nymph and adult. The egg and the nymph last for a month whereas the adult lasts for a couple of years. The soldier termites are also sterile and blind. They are entrusted with the responsibility to keep the colony secure and safe. They have dramatically enlarged heads and mandibles which help in blocking the tunnel entrances and their enlarged jaws are used as weapons in their battles to protect the colony. The life span of a typical soldier is not more than two years depending on environmental factors and outcome of battles. The Queen has a specific pheromone which prevents other individuals from turning into queens. Once the Queen is removed or dies, the specific pheromone is promoted for developing the new Queen.

Rats Life Cycle

The most common types of rats causing havoc in Australia are House Rat, Norway rat and the Roof Rat. The House Rat can easily breed throughout the year when the conditions are suitable. The gestation period is 21 days and the litters can be from seven to fourteen. A rat attains sexual maturity in about 5 week time. The maximum life cycle of a House Rat is around three years with most managing only a year of life. A Female Rat cares a lot for her litters by lactating and giving them a bath. The Norway rat attains maturity in 2 months and their average life spans around 1,000 days. The rats live in large hierarchical groups and they increase their reproductive rate when a large fraction of their population is exterminated. The Roof rats that are born in a nest are born tiny and hairless. After two weeks of nursing, their eyes open, and within 4 weeks, they are weaned. After three months of life, they are independent and on their own. Rats reproduce quickly and their life cycle is rapid thus exposing everything at their disposal.
