Natural enemies of bedbugs include the masked hunter (also known as "masked bedbug hunter"), cockroaches, ants, spiders, mites, and centipedes. The Pharaoh ant's (Monomorium pharaonis) venom is lethal to bedbugs.
Pharaoh ants (Monomorium pharaonis) can negatively impact the environment by disrupting local ecosystems and outcompeting native ant species for resources. Their ability to thrive in various habitats allows them to spread rapidly, potentially leading to a decline in biodiversity. Additionally, they can contaminate food supplies and spread pathogens, which poses risks to both human health and wildlife. Their presence can also complicate pest management efforts, leading to increased use of pesticides that may harm non-target organisms.
'Fire ants' generally refer to ants in the genus Solenopsis, or Wasmannia auropunctata (the 'little fire ant').'Red ants' is a common name that is applied to a wide variety of red colored ants. It is occasionally used for 'red imported fire ants' (Solenopsis invicta), but also applied to red harvester ants, the 'European fire ant' (Myrmica rubra), and a number of other ant species. The usage is generally regional.
