Abstract
There are a large number of insects found in houses. However, many of these are associated with materials other than timber. New houses, particularly of brick and block construction, may in the first year or two be quite damp as the concrete and plaster dries out and insects attracted to these conditions are sometimes seen. Lists the more common pests to be found in houses.
