Insects have widely varying means of reproduction, which depends mainly on temperature and humidity. The German cockroach has a reproduction cycle from egg to adult lasting six weeks to several months. Many fly species can breed a new generation in as little as two weeks, and under favourable conditions one female can produce several hundred offspring in a domestic environment.

We have never had any documented evidence that insects got in to an attic through our ridge vent. Wasps and hornets do not build nests in our products. The size of our openings are the smallest openings recommend by most major building codes for vent openings.

We pay painstaking attention to reproducing each piece of jewelry using the same techniques as the original. This is done to honor the ancient craftsmen who worked with extremely limited resources.

Bi-Fold doors are designed to open up an entertaining area and normally are only open during entertaining however if ventilation is required while the doors are closed a Sashless window can be incorporated into a Bradworthy Bi-fold door providing ventilation all year round without having to open the doors, giving greater control over indoor comfort whilst eliminating the need for impractical flywire doors.

Your best protection is dressing properly. Wear long-sleeved shirts and tuck your pants legs inside heavy wool socks or boot tops to protect your ankles. Wear a hat to help protect your face. Avoid wearing dark colors, which tend to attract biting insects. Insect repellents are useful, but use with caution and as directed. Screened tents are essential for a restful sleep when camping outdoors during the mosquito season. Biting insects can transmit serious disease.

It's probably not worthwhile to be tested for insect allergy unless you've been stung and had a reaction. When you visit an allergist after a sting, it will be helpful if you can produce the insect that caused the reaction so it can be identified conclusively. If not, the allergist will probably ask questions to figure out which insect caused your reaction.

There are many insects that deliver a venomous bite, but the harvester ant is considered to be among the most poisonous of all insects. For information on other poisonous insects, check out ThinkQuest's Poisonous Plants and Animals web site.

No, spiders are arachnids. A key difference between insects and spiders is that all insects have six legs, and all spiders have eight.

Often too much attention is paid to harmful insects in the garden, with the result that people use more insecticides that are really called for. We here on the North Coast are fortunate in having fewer insect pests that harm roses than in many areas of the country. Our most common insect pests are probably aphids, thrips and leaf hoppers. If you are not killing them with insecticides, there are a lot of friendly, helpful beneficial insects which just love to dine on your pests.

I do not deal in insects (live or dead) with the possible exception of mosquitoes (squashed), cockroaches (also squashed) and pubic lice (mint condition). Neither do I deal in arms, human body parts or illegal substances. So if you're thinking of sending me an email asking for my cataologue, wholesale prices etc., forget it.
