Welcome to this exploration of the past, present and future of pest management in “Insect Control: Navigating the Frontier of Cutting-Edge Control Solutions”. In this dynamic journey, we unravel the tapestry of cutting-edge technologies reshaping the age-old battle against pests. The evolving landscape of insect control is no longer confined to conventional methods but embraces an array of revolutionary solutions driven by smart devices, artificial intelligence, and innovative traps.
As the realms of technology and entomology converge, “Insect Control” serves as your navigational guide, unveiling the transformative power of precision, efficiency, and sustainability in pest control. We embark on a quest to redefine the relationship between humans and insects, transcending traditional approaches to create a harmonious coexistence.
The chapters within this book delve into the depths of smart sensors that monitor insect movements in real-time, AI algorithms that predict and counter pest behaviour, and traps that revolutionise how we capture and control pests. From the bustling urban environments to vast agricultural landscapes, these innovations offer a glimpse into a future where pest management is not just a reaction but a proactive, anticipatory endeavour.
Join us on this technological odyssey, where innovation meets entomology, and the age-old struggle against pests transforms into a saga of ingenuity and sustainability. “Insect Control” is more than a guide; it's a glimpse into the future of pest control—an era where the precision of technology harmonises with the resilience of nature to create environments free from invasive intruders. Let the exploration begin!

Common Indoor Bugs
The common indoor bugs we see anywhere in the world are flies, spiders, fleas and beetles. No-one likes to see a bug indoors, so most people go to almost any length to eradicate these common indoor insects. Less common may be woodlice, earwigs, scorpions and millipedes or centipedes, although they are no less unwelcome.
No matter where you live in the world, it can be very difficult to keep these common insectss outside, unless you go to the extreme of keeping all your windows and doors shut all of the time, which is obviously impossible. I live in Thailand and I know that this is not an option.
So, what can you do? Well, let’s deal with all the flying insects first, because of all the common indoor bugs, I find them the most unpleasant. They are annoying, buzzing around your head, and mosquitoes and other flies produce painful sores, and anyway, all flies spread diseases. I hate to see them walking on food, knowing that they have probably just come off some dung somewhere, and now they are spitting on my food to taste it with their dirty feet!
My first line of defence is fine-mesh door and widow screens. They are not expensive and can be fitted retrospectively to any window. My window meshes slide, so they will only cover one half of the window at a time, but I do not find that a problem. You can still set up cross-winds, by opening two or more windows at opposite ends of a room. I love to see the flies on the mesh trying to get in by day and the mosquitoes doing the same by night. At night, it is best to burn as little light indoors as possible so as not to attract these common indoor bugs.
My second line of defence is natural predators like Geckos (Jin Jok, in Thai). Some people don’t like them in the house either. I can’t say I’m keen on them indoors, but they are hard to keep out and they eat hundreds, if not thousands, of indoor bugs every day. I like to see them lying in wait on the outside of the mesh, ready to pounce on any insect trying to wriggle through the wires.
My third line of defence is an indoor bug zapper. You know, the electric, handheld bug zapper that looks like a child’s tennis racquet. They are brilliant at catching and destroying any flying indoor creatures. The indoor bug literally explodes and vaporises on contact with the fully-charged wires of the indoor bug zapper. If you haven’t tried one, you really ought to. They are most gratifying. These three defences keep our house pretty much free of flies.
The crawling common indoor bugs are less of a problem really. Door screens on springs will keep 95% of them out and the Geckos will help too. Spiders can get in pretty easily, but then, I don’t mind them too much as long as they keep out of my way, as they eat other insects too. They are on our side really. For those who can not bear to catch them and put them outside, the handheld indoor bug zapper works a treat on spiders too.
Fleas can be a problem, if you keep cats or dogs, but then if you wash or dust the animal once a month, you should be able to control those common pests quite easily. However, we employ two final measures.
Every week, before we go out for the day, we spray every room with fly killer and every six-months we spray any rugs or carpets with an insect killer containing permethrin, which will survive washing and vacuuming for that long without losing its ability to kill or paralyse common indoor bugs on contact.
If you follow these measures, you should be able to keep your home or office free of the common indoor bugs and any less common ones too.
Insects On Household Plants
Lots of people like to bring nature into their homes in the form of plants. Fortunately there is a broad range of plants that have adapted to the conditions in which we live. They have become adapted to the reduced light, twenty-four hour warmth and the continuously dry atmosphere. Either that or it is close to the conditions in their natural habitat. Some more than others, it is a fact, but most people go for indoor plants that are simple to look after.
For most people ‘simple to maintain’ involves giving the plant a cup of water every week. However, some people are prepared to take more trouble with their indoor plants and spray them with a mist of water; dust them off now and again; and feed them irregularly too. The more time you spend on your plants, the more likely you will spot infestations of pests.
