ABSTRACT
Insects and rodents are one of the primary means of spreading disease throughout the world. Typically, a microorganism causing a specific disease lives in a wild animal, bird, or human being. Bedbugs are not a vector and not known to transmit diseases, but they are pests of public health importance because they suck the blood of people. Use the integrated pest management approach including necessary inspections with flashlights, magnifying glasses, and probes to determine how best to eliminate bedbugs. Fleas transmit the causative agents of bubonic plague, murine typhus fever, salmonellosis, and tularemia. Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs above the waterline in tree holes, containers including tires, and even dampened ground or bottle caps. In our modern world, pesticides make a significant contribution to the elimination of disease, the production of adequate food supplies, and the protection of our homes from damaging insects, for a world population that is continuing to grow.
