Most Insects are Beneficial Many pest control professionals actually like "bugs" and some even keep exotic insects like walking sticks and hissing cockroaches as pets. If you've never seen an assassin bug in action, go to the Museum of LIfe and Science in Durham, N.C. They're awesome! Insects are a vital part of the food chain, play an important part in breaking down dead plant and animal matter, and some directly benefit us, like the honey bee and silkworm. If you could weigh all of the world's insects, they would weigh more than all of the people and animals combined! Insects in the wrong place are pests But...just as a rose in a cornfield becomes an unwanted weed, insects that destroy our homes, bite and sting us, contaminate our food and invade our home become pests. That's where we can help. At Enviropest, all products are applied by pest professionals trained to use those specific products, and only as labeled.
