Insects are estimated to damage around 20-40% of global crop production each year. This significant loss varies depending on the type of crop, region, and pest prevalence. The economic impact of this damage can reach hundreds of billions of dollars annually, highlighting the importance of effective pest management and sustainable agricultural practices.

Should you kill barn spiders?

Spiders are useful animals. They keep the population of insects down so that the insects don't eat your crops or bite you as much. Don't kill them - just move them to a place where their webs won't be in your way.


Who are the 5 harmful insects and 5 useful insects?

Harmful insects include aphids, whiteflies (eat our crops), mosquitos (carry disease), fleas and lice (suck blood). However, the insects that eat our crops mostly only do so because we practise too much monoculture and kill off their predators with insecticide. The herbivores such as aphids and whiteflies reproduce fast enough to build up resistance, whereas their predators such as ladybugs do not. Useful insects include those ladybugs (eat aphids etc), parasitic wasps (kill many harmful insects), and bees (pollinate plants and make sure they can reproduce and bear fruit).
