While we sometimes tend to paint all pests with the same brush, it’s important to remember that there are lots of beneficial bugs out there. When you’re swatting at flies and scratching at mosquito bites, it can be difficult to remember that some bugs are our friends – especially those that feed on flies and mosquitoes!
Some of the most important insects in our ecosystem are pollinators and predators. Predators kill and eat other insects that cause damage to our environment and crops, while pollinators are vital to the production of food for both humans and livestock. While the notion of a world without bees might be appealing to some, it would also be a world without vegetables and fruit.
Bee Beneficial
Bees are sensitive and social insects that need a quiet place to live that is also close to a variety of food sources. Over one-sixth of the world’s flowering plants wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for bees, and the value they contribute to the agricultural industry each year amounts to billions of dollars. Without these stripy insects, vegetable and fruit plants would be much less productive and yield misshapen crops. In addition to that, they also produce honey which is both delicious and full of health benefits. Pesticides and climate change are threatening the world’s bee population and new approaches to residential pest control in Niagara are vital to the preservation of these busy species.Wasp Welfare
There are thousands of different species of wasp in the world and not all of them wear yellow and black. Although many people will seek out residential pest control in Niagara to deal with the infinitely annoying yellow jackets, even these pesky creatures have an important role to play in our ecosystem. Yellow jackets spend much of their time scavenging dead insects, providing a useful cleaning service that few others would be prepared to do. Even more beneficial than the yellow jackets are hornets and paper wasps which help to keep other bug populations under control. Wine-lovers should be particularly respectful to these species which also carry yeast in their guts, storing it during the winter hibernation and then delivering it to the next year’s spring grapes to ensure another great year of wine.Nasty Neighbours
