I absolutely hate insects, Lizards are the problem that I have in my area. I don't know where they come from but I'm very scared of them. I can't touch them. there was a lizard in my house. It was very terrible, my family tried to displace but I was very hard because my mom and dad also hate lizards.I also hate cockroaches. They look very ugly and dirty.
ReplyDeleteMosquitos are one of insects in my area. They are terrible problem because they bite people. When people were bitten by mosquitos, people will get virus from them. The virus is called dengue fever. People will get flu and the temperature in your body getting higher.
ReplyDeleteIn my area there was an insect named “rove beetles”. This kind of beetles is very dangerous of poison, if you touch the body of the insect it can cause you a burn of your skin and painful. This kind of insect will come in rainy season so beware of it because it is very small some time it can hide in you bead or you clothes. When you were bitten wash the wool with the soup water untill…
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of insects in Thailand such as ants, flies, termites, and cockroaches. They disturb our daily life. For example, flies make your food contaminated when they touch your food. You maybe sick. Ants can bite you and steel your sweets. Termites can destroy your wooden house or your books. My books used to be destroy by the termites. For cockroaches, they are dirty and can make you sick like flies. They are annoyed because their random movements.
ReplyDeleteTo sum up, I think some of the insects are causes of illness and destroy our properties.
In my area, it has lots of insect such as butterflies, cockroaches, ants. Sometimes they can't find the foods to eat and the place to live because it depends on temperate or climate. For example, Butterflies will eat the food from the flowers and Cockroaches, they are very dirty and the smell is very bad.
ReplyDeleteIn my area there many of mosquito , I hate it when I got a bites.You may notice a round and puffy bump forming. the bump will soon become red and hard,with a small amount of swelling I hate that much.
ReplyDeleteThere is a number of cockroaches residing in the area where I lived. This insect usually lives inside the house especially in the kitchen area. It crawls through dirty areas outside and drag those bacteria and germs to us by walking around our house. Cockroaches can contaminate foods which could cause serious health problems. My pet sometimes eat them and drag the bodies around causing unpleasant smell around the living areas. These insect can only be get rid of by repellent spray which also cause side effects to our health as well.
ReplyDeleteIn my area,there are mayflies,the insects like to play with light.In the raining day,they appear around the lightbulbs so I have to turn off the light to chase them.I can do nothing except waiting them go out because they are disgusting and annoying.After they are out,lots of their wings fall on the floor,some of them climb without the wings and waith for death.I exactly don't understand with thier nature.Are they just live to fly around lightbulbs ? However,I have to deal with them by turnig off all lights in my home on the raining day before they come.
ReplyDeleteThe first insect I though of was mosquitoes, although I'm not sure that there are in my area, which is Silom Road. I'm sure that there are a few mosquitoes around, but I don't notice them much in my condo. Maybe they can't fly that high. I do notice them if I'm at Lumpini Park in the late afternoon, and I guess that's part of my area. But the real reason I though of mosquitoes is that they can cause serious problems. One of my friends, a colleague at AUA, had dengue fever recently. This is serious disease spread by mosquitoes, which I suspect are more common in his area of Bangkok. He was very ill for a few days and it took him more than two weeks to really recover and get back to work.
ReplyDeleteThe other obvious insect in my area are the cockroaches. I don't know how serious the problems they cause are, but they are disgusting creatures. It's impossible to walk down Silom Road in the evening, or along my soi at any time, without seeing a lot of cockroaches. They even invade AUA! Fortunately, my condo doesn't have too many, but they are there. I think it would be impossible to stop them invading from the surrounding soi and market, which provides them, and the rats, with lots of food. I think they carry diseases, but I'm not sure how dangerous they are. I am sure I don't want them in my home, or crawling around AUA.
Another insect I've seen are ants, although not for a while at my home.
There are a lot of mosquitoes in my area, Khlongtoey District. My house locate near to the swamp. So it is a proper area for these tiny insects to grow their population therefore the number of mosquitoes has never been reduced. When I was 12 years old, I used to be dengue fever. I had high fever and I had to stay in hospital around 17 days. Furthermore, Mosquitoes can cause another disease such as Zika Virus, Malaria, etc. Malaria had killed more than 400,000 people each year.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of mosquitos in the area where I am now living. I hate them very much as they keep sucking my blood every time when I wear in short. We do spray insecticide almost every day but that chemical substance can only temporary stop them, therefore we’ve decided not to use it as it is not good for our health, but protecting ourselves by wearing long sleeve shirt and pants.
