The world of tiny insects is full of potential. In many ways, insects and other small pests that homeowners fight against daily possess a variety of powers that help them survive. For example, an ant can lift 50 times its body weight, cockroaches can withstand high doses of radiation that would kill a human, and so on. In a world where pests are more powerful and dangerous, people would almost certainly feel less safe.
Every year, in the United States alone, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage due to the silent destruction of homes. Additionally, each year, millions of people around the world are affected by mosquito-borne illnesses. While some insects may continue to exist in balance with nature using their abilities, others will greatly exacerbate the existing situation. The best way to combat pests that already pose a problem is to contact a professional company. This website also talks about how you can get rid of them properly.
Who Would Be The Most Powerful Pest?
-
Cockroach.
Arguably, the cockroach would become the most powerful pest if insects had superpowers. They can already survive without a head for weeks, endure radiation, and go a month without food. If they acquired super-powered regeneration or invulnerability, they would be virtually unstoppable.
-
Mosquito.
A close runner-up, mosquitoes are tiny vampires. These pests already kill more humans than any other animal through disease. If they could better detect hosts or become resistant to repellents, it would enhance their vector capacity, which would kill even more humans worldwide.
-
Termite.
The termite would be a severe challenge if its superpowers were to develop its already existing wood-digesting gut bacteria. It may develop super digestion and begin breaking down various materials, posing a higher threat than wooden infrastructure.
Who Would Be The Villain?
The fire ant, and in particular its invasive species, the red imported fire ant, is best suited to becoming the villain. These insects are already notorious for their coordinated behavior in large colonies with multiple queens and attack behaviors. Research has shown that a single fire ant colony can house up to 250,000 worker ants. If their venom becomes more aggressive or toxic, they will conquer territories even faster than they do now.
Hornets, and most of all, Asian giant hornets, can become worthy candidates for the role of villains due to their predatory relationship with honeybees and a powerful sting. If their schemes become larger scale or the venom becomes more aggressive, they will devastate populations of useful insects even more efficiently.
Also, this category includes locusts, which would become villains due to the destruction of crops. If their swarming abilities become even more dense or resistant, that could lead to a global food crisis.
Seek Professional Help If Needed
Although the idea of insects with superpowers is a product of imagination, the situation with a real pest infestation in your house or office must be addressed by hands familiar with the issue. Professional pest control people are trained to deal with various insects and have all the necessary equipment and information to eliminate the issue.
As the diversity of bugs allows for a high number of species, not all approaches work for each of them. By hiring a professional exterminator, you get the solution that fits your current situation without causing harm to your property or a threat to your family, pets, or the environment.
Pest control personnel also provide you with the necessary tips on how to avoid another infestation in the future. If you are struggling with any sort of pest problem, instead of waiting for the issue to worsen, contact a licensed service that assesses the situation and creates a plan that suits your personalized needs.
