Insects were the Earth’s first organisms to evolve active flight. For purposes of this category, we’ll include flying insect pests who have wings full-time and not those whose queens or swarmers are the only fliers in the class.
Some 350 million years ago insects began to fly. For many insects, flying is the only way to travel, providing access to food that other creatures cannot reach and also proving to be a successful defense against potential predators. Of the 900,000 species of insects on Earth classified, 99.9% of them are categorized as Pterygota (winged insects).
​Insect wings are one of nature’s lightest structures and most are shaped to form an airfoil, which is curved at the top and flat on the bottom.
​Because of their travel patterns, Axiom does not guarantee we can eliminate flying insects. Our treatment solutions, however, are effective because we treat where these pests are likely to land.​
