What are Crayfish?

As a youngster I used to go to ponds or rivers by my house and try to catch these things. Crayfish are classified as decaponds which means ten feet and lives in freshwater environments. There are more than 500 in the world which inhabit streams, lakes, and ponds. Crayfish are usually four inches long here in Hawaii but grow as big as the size of lobsters in Australia. Crayfish eats dead matter, small fish, and invertebrates. Information obtained from Crayfish and picture from Hawaiian Aquatic Organisms.

How to control termites from your home?

Termites cannot be fully eliminated from your property because they are all over the ground. The only way to know that termites are invading your house is when the walls start falling over. One way to eliminate termites is spraying the soil around your house because termites can’t develop resistance from pesticides and once you kill the queen termite everything in the colony dies as well.
