Blatella Germanica with Ootheca ©Shutterstock/WStudio Unhygienic, disgusting and smelly – these are probably the first thoughts that come to mind when you hear the name of this insect. We have summarised the negative and positive characteristics of cockroaches in this article and explain what to do in the event of an infestation or how it can be treated, as they can unfortunately cause considerable damage if not acted upon quickly enough, or even preventively.

Alphitobius diaperinus © Shutterstock Another pest we would like to introduce is the litter beetle (Alphitobius diaperinus). For  people who do not work on poultry farms, this may sound like a harmless beetle, but it can cause a great deal of damage in said farms and even be harmful to human health. Benefits and advantages To begin with, we would like to take a quick detour and look at the exciting benefits of the litter beetle. The larvae of these beetles can be a nutritious snack. Yes, you read that right. The so-called ‘buffalo worms’ have a high protein content […]

  Poultry Red Mite ©Shutterstock/Martin Pelanek This arachnid is a vector pest and a worldwide problem. For example, in egg and meat production or any poultry farming, one has to fight again and again with this mite species. Among other things, they worsen the feed conversion ratio, laying performance and/or egg quality. In this report we describe the red poultry mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) in more detail and also explain how it can be avoided and controlled. Dangers and economic damage A mite infestation, for example in laying hens, can cause stress in the affected animals and therefore has a strong […]

Mediterranean flour moth ©Shutterstock/Jurik Peter Moths are the black sheep among the butterflies. Some species are simply annoying when they fly into our home as they are attracted by artificial light and flutter around nervously. But other species are harmful and either cause holes in our clothes or contaminate and spoil our food, which must be disposed of immediately. But even if you might not believe it at first glance, these insects also have their special role in the ecosystem. Benefits of moths Moths are a good food source for a variety of animals, such as other insects, spiders, frogs, […]

Cross Spider ©Pixabay/Ben_Kerckx Just hearing the word “spider” makes many of us flinch. Although these insects are not pests but are themselves exterminators of pests and can therefore be seen as natural pest controller, some are quite scared of them and start screeching or run away in panic when they see a spider or if one comes too close. Yes, for most people they are not beautiful to look at, but these arachnids are as important to nature and the environment as any other. And if the fear is not too great, it is also worth catching an invading spider […]

Black garden ants ©Pixabay/SandeepHanda You can’t look that fast, and ants are already present and visit us at the family celebration on the terrace or fight their way into the kitchen. Ants are an integral part of nature, and like almost all insects, they are a crucial part of the ecosystem, which would collapse without them. They undertake lots of essential tasks and we humans should be grateful to them and, if possible, let them live. The benefits of ants Among others, ants are irreplaceable for nature for the following reasons: They not only eat other insects and pests but […]

Our Brand and Trademark needs to live in the present while transmitting the values and held promises to the future.

Flesh fly ©Pixabay/Carola68 No one is happy when they suddenly hear the buzzing of a fly in their home. “These insects are annoying and disgusting!” Everyone thinks they are just sitting to feed on excrements and carcasses and are useless. But the opposite is true! In this article, we would like to enlighten the fly from a different angle. The fly is indeed a valuable part to the ecosystem and should be valued accordingly. The benefits of flies Flies can be real pests and undoubtedly annoying, but like most other insects, they provide benefits and have a role in the […]

We have taken a closer look at these crawling Blattodea, researched interesting facts and describe how to best prevent an infestation. What are the benefits of cockroaches? Cockroaches are a good source […]

No matter the time of the year, bedbugs can always be a nuisance. Especially when travelling they are often “transported” back and forth without us being aware of it. Therefore, it is especially important to be prepared and to recognize early when bedbugs are about to settle in your own home. Bedbugs then and now The small bugs were a very common pest in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century but were virtually exterminated shortly after the Second World War by the widespread use of synthetic insecticides. For nearly five decades, bedbugs were found only sporadically […]

Bioveta promotes BioKill in Pet Shops against fleas: Their approach is to sell it as a duo packet with a one drop product. The idea is to explain that the treatment on the animal resolves only 20% of the problem and needs to be reinforced by applying BioKill around and on the area where the pet is sleeping. Like this the problem is not only better under control but also has a preventive character. Open file here: Flyer Bioveta BioKill
