There are more than 3,000 species of snakes in the world which can have many different sizes. The world's smallest snake is the thread snake which grows to only about 10 centimeters long, whereas the largest snake, the reticulated python, can grow to 9 meters.
Although many of them are quite docile, a number of species can be quite dangerous if you cross them in nature, especially if they feel threatened. Even snakes that are generally friendly can kill you with their venom if you take them by surprise.
Snakes consume a variety of items including termites, rodents, birds, frogs, small deers and other reptiles. They eat their prey whole and are able to consume prey three times larger than the diameter of their head because their lower jaw can separate from the upper jaw.
To keep prey from escaping, snakes have rear-facing teeth that hold their prey in their mouths. Venomous snakes inject their prey with venom, while constrictors squeeze their prey. They do not need to hunt every day, but when they do, it is mostly at night.

Termites usually are cryptic, meaning that they don't come out into the open, making them difficult to detect. They are often called the "silent destroyer" because they may be secretly hiding and thriving in your home or yard without any immediate signs of damage. Even when they are visible within the home as flying insects, termites can often be mistaken for ants.
Some homeowners will dismiss the termites as pesky ants (which often swarm at the same time of year) and ignore them without taking any preventive or extermination measures. This allows established termite infestations to grow exponentially.
Termites can be identified by their straight, beaded antennae, uniform waists and wings of equal size (ants have elbowed antennae, constricted waists and forewings that are longer than the hind wings).

Rodents are well adapted to living with or in close proximity to humans. They share our homes with their parasites. They nest and sleep in the furniture where we relax, sleep and store our clothing without even realizing it. We are quite vulnerable to the potential spread of any pathogens carried by rodents.
Like all mammals, rodents are furry, warm-blooded animals, that nurse their young. Most rodents are fairly small but the largest can reach over 4 kilos. The most distinctive feature of rodents is their front teeth as they all have a pair of constantly growing teeth at the front of their mouths called incisors used to gnaw on things.
There are three main rodents species:
<ul>
<li>House mouse - Mus dometicus</li>
<li>Brown rat - Rattus norvegus</li>
<li>Black rat - Rattus rattus</li>
</ul>
Aside from causing damage to the house and being a nuisance, a rodent infestation can be a serious health hazard. Rats and mice both spread disease when they enter homes and these health risks can be fatal.

Occasional invaders are insects that sporadically enter structures, sometimes in large numbers.
If you've been invaded by pests that are not covered in our other fact sheets, chances are you'll find the information here.
The most common problem with occasional invaders is that they become an annoying nuisance. Some can bite, pinch, secrete foul odors, damage plants, stain indoor furnishings and damage fabrics. Even after they are dead, the problem may continue. The bodies of dead insects can attract other pests that feed on them - the bodies, shed skins, secretions and feces of insects can cause allergic responses and trigger asthma.
Occasional invaders:
<ul>
<li>Spiders</li>
<li>Scorpions</li>
<li>Millipedes</li>
<li>Centipedes</li>
<li>Silverfish</li>
<li>Fleas</li>
<li>Bed bugs</li>
</ul>
Occasional invaders typically live and reproduce outdoors. They invade structures when indoor conditions are better than outdoor ones. It is important to know the conditions that prompt the invasions of unwanted pests.
Altering environmental conditions can make structures inhospitable for pests and is an important component of integrated pest management.

Stored product pests are insects found in mills, warehouses, processing plants, houses, etc. They are currently in charge of damaging 10% of the world's annual production, 50% of which is in tropical &amp; subtropical areas. They are found in products such as food, textiles, wood and books.
The main types include:
<ul>
<li>Beetles</li>
<li>Moths</li>
<li>Weevils</li>
</ul>
Usually, the first sign of a problem is the appearance of small beetles crawling over countertops, moths flying across rooms or caterpillars crawling up walls or across ceilings. The solution requires finding and destroying all infested products in which these pests have developed, performing a general cleanup and using sealed storage containers to prevent recurring problems.
