Juvenile

Juvenile, in the pest control industry, refers to the young or immature stage of a pest's life cycle, laying between the egg and adult stages. It consists of multiple growth stages, which differ among species. For example, a juvenile cockroach, often called a nymph, undergoes a transformation process known as molting. During this period, a new, larger exoskeleton develops underneath the existing one. When the old shell breaks, the new one hardens, signifying growth. Above all, knowing the juvenile state of pests is crucial in pest control because strategies differ, whether you're dealing with adults or juveniles.
