HOUSE FLIES

DON'T TRAVEL VERY FAR, AND AREN'T VERY FAST
Hear that buzzing sound? That's the rapid movement of a house fly's wings, which can beat up to 1,000 times per minute. That's no typo. It may surprise you to learn, then, that they're generally slow fliers, maintaining a speed of about 4.5 miles per hour. House flies move when environmental conditions compel them to do so. In urban areas, where people live in close proximity and there is plenty of garbage and other filth to be found, house flies have small territories and may only fly 1,000 meters or so. But rural house flies will roam far and wide in search of manure, covering up to 7 miles over time. The longest flight distance recorded for a house fly is 20 miles.

HOUSE FLIES ARE RELATIVELY YOUNG INSECTS IN THE WORLD
As an order, true flies are ancient creatures that appeared on Earth during the Permian period, over 250 million years ago. But house flies seem to be relatively young, compared to their Dipteran cousins. The earliest known Musca fossils are only 70 million years old. This evidence suggests the closest ancestors of house flies appeared during the Cretaceous period, just before the infamous meteorite fell from the sky and, some say, triggered the extinction of the dinosaurs.

HOUSE FLIES MULTIPLY QUICKLY
Were it not for environmental conditions and predation, we'd be overrun by house flies. Musca domestica has a short life cycle – just 6 days if conditions are right – and a female house fly lays an average of 120 eggs at a time. Scientists once calculated what would happen if a single pair of flies were able to reproduce without limits or mortality to their offspring. The result? Those two flies, in just 5 months' time, would produce 191,010,000,000,000,000,000 house flies, enough to cover the planet several meters deep.

HOUSE FLIES TASTE WITH THEIR FEET
How do flies decide something is appetizing? They step on it! Like butterflies, house flies have their taste buds on their toes, so to speak.

HOUSE FLIES ARE ON AN ALL-LIQUID DIET
House flies have sponge-like mouthparts, which are good for soaking up liquefied substances but not for eating solid foods. So, the house fly either seeks out food that is already in puddle form, or it finds a way to turn the food source into something it can manage. This is where things get kind of gross. When a house fly locates something tasty but solid, it regurgitates onto the food (which may be your food, if it's buzzing around your barbecue). The fly vomit contains digestive enzymes that go to work on the desired snack, quickly predigesting and liquefying it so the fly can lap it up. HOUSE FLIES MAKE THEIR LIVING IN FILTH
House flies feed and breed in the things we revile: garbage, animal dung, sewage, human excrement, and other nasty substances. Musca domestica is probably the best known and most common of the insects we collectively refer to as filth flies. In suburban or rural areas, house flies are also plentiful in fields where fish meal or manure is used as fertilizer, and in compost heaps where grass clippings and rotting vegetables accumulate.

HOUSE FLIES CAN WALK UPSIDE DOWN
You probably knew that already, but do you know how they perform this gravity-defying feat? Slow motion video shows that a house fly will approach a ceiling by executing a half roll maneuver, and then will extend its legs to make contact with the substrate. Each of the house fly's legs bears a tarsal claw with a sticky pad of sorts, so the fly is able to grip almost any surface, from smooth window glass to a ceiling.

HOUSE FLIES POOP A LOT
There's a saying, "Never poop where you eat." Sage advice, most would say. Because house flies live on a liquid diet (see #6), things move rather quickly through their digestive tracts. Nearly every time a house fly lands, it defecates. So in addition to vomiting on anything it thinks might make a tasty meal, the house fly almost always does poop where it eats. Keep that in mind next time one touches down on your potato salad.

HOUSE FLIES TRANSMIT A LOT OF DISEASES
Because house flies thrive in places that are teeming with pathogens, they have a bad habit of carrying disease-causing agents with them from place to place. A house fly will land on a pile of dog poop, inspect it thoroughly with its feet, and then fly over to your picnic table and walk around on your hamburger bun for a bit. Their food and breeding sites are already overflowing with bacteria, and then they vomit and defecate on them to add to the mess. House flies are known to transmit at least 65 diseases and infections, including cholera, dysentery, giardiasis, typhoid, leprosy, conjunctivitis, salmonella, and many more.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches have been around since the time of dinosaurs! A cockroach can live almost a month without food. A cockroach can live about two weeks without water. Some female cockroaches only mate once and stay pregnant for life! A cockroach can live for up to one week without its head! Cockroaches can hold their breath for up to 40 minutes! Cockroaches can run up to 3 miles an hour.

A cockroach can live for a week without its head. Due to their open circulatory system, and the fact that they breathe through little holes in each of their body segments, they are not dependent on the mouth or head to breathe. The roach only dies because without a mouth, it can't drink water and dies of thirst.

A cockroach can hold its breath for 40 minutes, and can even survive being submerged under water for half an hour. They hold their breath often to help regulate their loss of water.

Newborn German cockroaches become adults in as little as 36 days. In fact, the German cockroach is the most common of the cockroaches and has been implicated in outbreaks of illness and allergic reactions in many people.

A one-day-old baby cockroach, which is about the size of a speck of dust, can run almost as fast as its parents.

Cockroaches can run up to three miles in an hour, which means they can spread germs and bacteria throughout a home very quickly.

There are more than 4,000 species of cockroaches worldwide, including the most common species, the German cockroach, in addition to other common species, the brownbanded cockroach and American cockroach.



Termites

Ants are the Enemy of Termites
The best termite prevention in Gilbert strategy may be to lure ants to your property. Ants are the biggest natural predators of termites. If you have an established colony of ants in your yard, it is highly unlikely that you will have an established colony of termites. Of course, ants can bring their own problems, so you probably don’t want to let ants run rampant in the yard. But if you see a few friendly ants, feel glad that they are on your side in the fight against termites.

Because they are cold-blooded insects, cockroaches can live without food for one month, but will only survive one week without water.

Queens Lay a LOT of Eggs
The average chicken lays anywhere from 180 to 320 eggs a year. Meanwhile, the queen in an African termite colony can lay up to 30,000 eggs per day. The average termite queen can lay an egg every 15 seconds and can live from 15 to 25 years. Some can live up to 50 years in the right conditions. That’s a lot of termites over her life span!

They Produce a Lot of Gas
Termites release gas as they break down the wood they eat, and in their waste and decomposition. Scientists say that termites release as much as 150 million tons of methane gas every year, which contributes to air pollution that can affect climate change. Not only are the vast quantities of termites bad for your home, but they are bad for the planet.

Termites Eat a LOT
Since termites never sleep, they have a lot of time to eat, and they eat a LOT. A single colony of termites can eat up to 1,000 pounds of wood each year. That’s about the same amount of wood as 650 baseball bats.

TERMITES DIGEST CELLULOSE WITH THE HELP OF MICROORGANISMS IN THEIR GUTS.
Termites feed on plants directly or on fungus growing on decaying plant material. In either case, they must be able to digest tough plant fibers, or cellulose. The termite gut is loaded with microorganisms capable of breaking down cellulose. This symbiosis benefits both the termites and the microorganisms living within their insect hosts. The termites house the bacteria and protozoa, and harvest the wood. In return, the microorganisms digest the cellulose for the termites.

TERMITES FEED ON EACH OTHER'S FECES.
Termites aren't born with all that bacteria in their gut.
Before they can start the hard work of eating trees, termites must obtain a supply of microorganisms for their digestive tracts. They engage in a practice known as trophallaxis, or, in less scientific terms, they eat each other's poop. Termites must also resupply themselves after they molt, so poop eating is a big part of life in the termite mound.

TERMITE WORKERS AND SOLDIERS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS BLIND.
In almost all species, both the workers and soldiers in a given termite colony are blind. Since these industrious individuals spend their lives in the confines of the dark, damp nest, they have no need to develop functional eyes. Reproductive termites are the only termites that require eyesight, since they must fly to find mates and new nest sites.

CHEMICAL CUES GUIDE MOST COMMUNICATION IN THE TERMITE COLONY.
Termites use pheromones— special chemical scents—to talk to one another and control each other's behavior. Termites leave scent trails to guide other workers using special glands on their chests. Each colony produces a distinct scent, identified by a chemical on their cuticles. In some species, the queen can even control the growth and role of her young by feeding her pheromone-laden poop.

TERMITE FATHERS HELP RAISE THEIR YOUNG.
You won't find deadbeat dads in the termite mound. Unlike in bee colonies, where males are short-lived and die soon after mating, the termite kings stick around. After their nuptial flight, the termite king stays with his queen, fertilizing her eggs as needed. He also shares parental duties with the queen, helping her feed their young predigested food.

WHEN TERMITE SOLDIERS DETECT A THREAT, THEY TAP WARNING SIGNALS TO THE COLONY.
Termite soldiers form the world's tiniest heavy metal mosh pit when danger comes to the nest. To sound the alarm, soldiers bang their heads against the gallery walls to send warning vibrations throughout the colony.

TERMITES ARE WELL-GROOMED.
You wouldn't think an insect that spends its time in the dirt would be so fastidious about its grooming, but termites make an effort to stay clean. Termites spend a great deal of time grooming each other. Their good hygiene is important to their survival, as it keeps parasites and harmful bacteria under control within the colony.
