Скачать или смотреть People Don't Know: Facts about Pests, rodents and Reptiles

Pests are often underestimated, yet their survival skills make them one of the biggest hidden risks to health, food safety, and infrastructure — both at home and in industrial environments.

Hidden fact about rodents:
Rats and mice have an extremely powerful sense of smell. They can detect food from long distances and even recognize human scent trails, which helps them return repeatedly to the same storage areas. This is why poorly sealed food stores and waste zones quickly become permanent rodent pathways in factories and homes.

Another surprising truth:
Rodents are intelligent learners. Once they find a safe food source, they memorize routes and avoid new traps if they sense danger. This makes random or unplanned control methods ineffective without professional monitoring and strategy.

What most people don’t know about flies:
Flies taste food with their feet. When they land on food surfaces, they immediately transfer bacteria picked up from waste, drains, and animal droppings. Even a few seconds of contact can contaminate clean food and equipment.

Lizard survival secret:
Many domestic lizards escape predators by a process called tail autotomy — they deliberately detach their tail to distract attackers. While the lizard escapes, the dropped tail continues to move, diverting attention. This natural defense explains why lizards are often seen without tails in buildings.

Why this matters for safety:
These advanced survival traits allow pests to thrive unnoticed. In food industries, warehouses, hospitals, and homes, such behavior leads to contamination, property damage, and health risks long before pests are actually seen.
