GERNERIC INSECT COLOUR
By completing the stages below Pestokill have provided an identification key to the common insects that you may find. A description of the insects habits, behaviours and biology is provided. A clear identification will depend on a visual assessment of the insect. We would also need to look closely at the shape of the head, abdomen and thorax, the legs and the mouth parts to provide an exact identification. One of the best clues to identification is where the insects have been found. Based on this key the most likely insect that you have will be as follows;
