There is a huge biodiversity of species on the planet Earth. Insects of different species are an important constituent of this biodiversity. As the predominant species on the planet, human beings are often in conflict with other species on the planet. Insects are no exception to that. They have been known to be present on the earth for 480 million years1, even before human beings. Various insect species have adapted to different environments. Ever since humankind began modifying its own environment to suit its comforts, new species of insects emerged2. These insects thrive on the ecological systems created as a result of human activity. Also, a lot of insect species that were not dependent on these ecological systems have migrated to these ecologies due to suitability in terms of environment, temperature conditions, and easy access to a variety of nutrients that are discarded as a result of large-scale human activity.
Ever since their interaction with insects, human beings have tried to fend off these insects using a wide variety of methods. These methods range from age-old practices of fragrances of naturally obtained agents, barriers, such as windows, meshes of different material, to simply killing the insects with more modern methods like fly catchers or insecticides.
