Beetles in Australia
The name ‘beetle’ applies to one of the most widespread scientific families in the animal kingdom.
The order Coleoptera, to which beetles belong, contains more species than any other order and represents 25% of all known animal life-forms.
They also represent 40% of known insect species, so it is highly likely that there are a great many species of beetles living in and around your home. Although many species of beetle are relatively harmless, there are just as many that can cause a variety of inconveniences for a household. If you are having trouble with pest beetles and need beetle control, Sydney, or beetle removal, Sydney, then Genera Pest Management can provide for all of your pest control needs!
Characteristics of beetles
Beetles are a very diverse species, existing in almost all major habitat types throughout the world. They have also adapted to nearly every kind of diet, from organic debris to carrion, dung and fungi. There some common factors between beetle species, however. For example, beetles are armoured insects, meaning that all species of beetle have plated exoskeletons that provide for strong defence whilst maintaining flexibility. Beetles as a collective also have hard forewings and a particular body structure, containing the head, thorax and abdomen. There are various appendages that vary from species to species, but that body structure remains a constant.
Possible health risks and
inconveniences from bees
Although less aggressive than wasps, bees can still be a danger around the home or workplace. Bees are very territorial, and will protect their hives if they feel endangered. If a beehive is built in or around your home or workplace, moving around as normal could provoke a painful attack. Bee stings cause painful welts and can result in more severe issues, such as nausea and vomiting. For those allergic to bee stings, stings could potentially be fatal; as such, if an infestation is discovered, it is best dealt with quickly, in case a visitor or family member has an allergy.
Furthermore, there are species of bee officially regarded as dangerous pests. For example, the Asian honey bee is an introduced species that robs the hives of native bees, destroying their honey reserves and preventing them from sustaining themselves. These bees prefer warm environments and will build hives near human structures. Such bees, if identified, should be dealt with swiftly to ensure minimum environmental impact.
Signs on infestation
It is fairly easy to identify an infestation of bees; an increase of bee sightings in your area or simply finding a beehive are both straightforward signs of the presence of a large number of bees.
