Insect infestations occur when a large number of insects invade a specific area, often causing damage to plants, structures, or food supplies. Common pests include ants, termites, and cockroaches, which can thrive in homes and gardens. These infestations can lead to health risks and economic losses if not managed properly. Controlling insect infestations typically involves identifying the type of insect and implementing appropriate measures. This may include using pesticides, sealing entry points, and maintaining cleanliness to reduce food sources. Regular inspections can help detect infestations early, preventing more significant problems in the future.
