Flying Insect Species
Most adult insects have wings and fly. However, cockroaches rarely fly and mainly crawl. Termites and ants can fly briefly, but only during their reproductive phase in the mating season.
Stored product insect species (SPI)
Stored product insects (SPI) not only damage raw materials but also contaminate finished foods, making them unfit for consumption. Their presence can harm brand image and lead to lost business to competitors.
Termite species
Termites have both benefits and drawbacks. They help decompose organic matter in forests but damage wooden structures, furniture, and cellulose-based products in homes, as they rely on cellulose as their main food source.
