A house or an office with a flying or crawling cockroach immediately gives that ew feeling, suggesting that the area must be dirty. Australia has 20 to 30 types of cockroaches.

Queen ants have wings, which they shed when they start a new nest. When the queen of the colony dies, the colony can only survive a few months. Queens are rarely replaced and the workers are not able to reproduce. Argentine Ants   Diet: Argentine ants prefer sweet substances but will eat almost anything, including meats, eggs, oils and fats. Also, when foraging for food, Argentine ants leave pheromone trails everywhere they go, instead of just from nest to food source. This habit ensures they do not waste time visiting the same area twice.
