Insects Effecting by Annoyance to Peoples Relating to the Public Health Concerns

چکیده
On earth, insects are by far the most diverse group of organisms found on almost all land surfaces and throughout the ocean, this is why they are among the most familiar creatures coming in human’s contact. So, larger the numbers of insects, there is greater the possibility of severe annoyance to human. The objective of this guideline in to help homeowners for identifying and understanding some of the insects visiting in and around homes for annoyance to peoples that may be applicable to many areas where humans coexist with these vectors inflicting considerable discomfort merely by their presence and normal activities, even when they produce no serious physical harm. In addition to disease transmission, arthropods can cause direct annoyance or injuries to man wherein bites, stings and allergic reactions are three major categories of annoyance caused by certain insects. Arthropods also affect man by disturbing him through blood sucking, parasitism, venoms and irritants. The sound of a single mosquito buzzing around the head while somebodies are trying to sleep is annoying. Standing peoples in open environment with gnats buzzing around face can be really disturbing concern. Also, finding cockroaches or other insects or parts of insects in our food is disturbing. Some insects cause general frustrations by annoyance through their presence, buzzing, foul odours, infesting and excretions on foods, biting, entering the eyes, ears and nose, laying eggs on skin, hair and feathers, applying venom by biting or stinging, setae or hairs, larvae invasion on body, leaving caustic body fluids or irritants when crushed, causing allergies, can be poisonous if swallowed, making their homes on or in the body, injuring the host, and transmitting disease organisms or creating unsanitary conditions. Other examples of annoyance caused by insects are flies that surround and land on man, predaceous wasps which land on exposed food at picnic points, and insects such as chironomid midges, mosquitoes and black flies that splatter on automobile windshields. Overall, fallouts of this article suggest that Integrated Vector Management (IVM) is a sustainable approach to manage insects that combines biological, cultural, physical and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health and environmental risks. The aim of IVM is to eliminate or reduce potentially harmful pesticide use by using a combination of control methods that would reduce the vector to an acceptable level. All the vector control methods should be socially acceptable, environmentally safe and economically practicable.
