If there was a list for the most annoying pest groups in the world, flying insects would likely top it. They are very persistent and won’t stop swarming around you until they get what they want. In some cases, they’re after your blood or bodily fluids, like sweat. For others, your food is the focus. A lot of these bugs are harmful, as they can transmit disease or sting or bite you.

Locally, the blow species are prevalent. Learn more about their hazards and how you can stop them with All-Safe Pest & Termite in Houston.
