Wasps
Wasps are insects with complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, nymph, imago). They live in colonies divided into castes (worker, male, queen). A nest contains up to several thousand wasps and can be found in any location. In autumn, they live on the fat stocks accumulated during the summer, and in winter they die. Only 4 or 5 reared queens leave the nest to settle elsewhere. In the spring, the queen alone begins the construction of a new nest. The wasp feeds mainly on sugary substances, flies, and larvae. Wasp stings can be a real health hazard.

Food moths
The food moth has a complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, chrysalis, adult). The adult food moth has a globular head and looks like a small butterfly. The larvae of the food moth weave silk nests in which they spend part of their lives and molt. At the end of their growth, they begin their transformation into butterflies which lasts 1 to 2 weeks. At 30°C, a generation develops and reproduces in about a month. At 10°C, it takes 7 months. They can hibernate during the harsh months. They can destroy your merchandise and threaten the hygiene and image of your facility.

Clothes moths
The clothes moth has a complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, chrysalis, butterfly). Its larvae are white with a brown head (10 mm) and create holes in fabrics. The larvae weave very typical silk galleries up to 15 cm long. The yellowish-white caterpillars of the textile moth bore holes or gnaw on the surface of woolens, furs, carpets, rugs, etc. Textiles that have not been worn for a long time become the prey of the larvae.

Fly and midge
The fly has a growth cycle with complete metamorphosis: egg, larva, pupa (immobile state), and insect, which is completed in about 2 weeks. It is omnivorous, feeding on human detritus, waste, excrement, and organic matter in decomposition. Adults feed outdoors as well as in farms or households. The midges or "small flies" are not young insects, but particular species, or malnourished flies in the larval stage. Contamination occurs by contact when the fly lands on the food and absorbs it using its digestive juices. Houseflies are the most widespread insects on the planet.

Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are insects with complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, pupa, imago). Males and females feed on nectar and thus participate in the pollination of plants. Only the females sting and suck the blood of humans and animals (livestock, birds) to bring their eggs to maturity. They lay an average of one hundred eggs and the larvae from the eggs live in watering places (lakes, ponds...), in very wet soil, or in and under buildings.

Bed bug
Bed bugs are crawling insects with incomplete metamorphosis. Attracted by odor and body heat, they feed on blood and bite hosts during the night. They can bite over 50 times a night, then they hide to digest for 5 to 7 days in the interstices (box springs, mattresses, changing rooms, cracks, footboards, curtains...) and can live one year without feeding. They are carried in traveler’s suitcases, bedding, and clothing. Bedbugs can survive a cold or warm water wash and thus contaminate the washing machine and the clothes that will be washed. Our bed bug service is available for households in the following cities: Geneva, Lyon, Marseille, and Nantes.
