Fly

Cluster flies also known as grass flies or attic flies are of the genus Pollenia in the family Polleniidae. Unlike the more familiar blowflies such as the bluebottles they are completely harmless to human health as they do not lay eggs in human food.

These flies have the habit of coming indoors in late autumn to hibernate during the cold Winter months, they are often found in groups or clusters of many hundreds if not thousands.

 

Cockroach

There are two main species of cockroach in Ireland:  the German Cockroach( Blattella Germanica) and the Oriental Cockroach ( Blattella Orientalis)

The key to cockroaches management is thorough inspection. A cockroach survey (trapping) is sometimes necessary to determine the extent of an infestation, as even a thorough inspection will not reveal all cockroach harbourages or foraging areas.

Bed Bug

This common pest, once associated with unhygienic surroundings, is prevalent due to a number of reasons, including increased travel, the use of second-hand furniture, and suspected tolerance to some pesticides. These bugs still occur with regularity, particularly in multi-occupancy buildings with rapid resident turnover – for example, hostels, hotels, holiday camps and apartments.
