No one really wants common pests in their home, but many people may not be aware that these common household pests can actually pose a health risk in many cases. Ants, roaches and mice are also unsightly and can cause damage to your home or food supplies. If you have been, waffling on whether to hire a pest control service or not, you might want to consider the following.
Cockroaches
The dreaded cockroach, most people go into hyper cleaning mode the minute one of these insects are spotted. Notorious for breeding by the millions in the walls roaches are commonly associated with poverty and a dirty home. Unfortunately, this is a false association as anyone, despite the condition of their home, can get roaches and once you have them it is an all-out war to get rid of them!
Were you aware that roaches carry salmonella and E-coli on their bodies? Environmental studies have also concluded that one in five American children has a serious reaction to roach allergens.
Rodents
They chew, scamper, leave droppings and are most notoriously associated with the bubonic plague! (Of course, it is important to note that the plague was actually carried by the fleas on the mice) Rodents are no fun at all, no matter what you think of those cute little white varieties at the pet store. Mice and rodents can carry and distribute disease such as Hantavirus, salmonella and more.
Spiders
Spiders can actually be a beneficial addition to the home, however most people would prefer they reside elsewhere! As a general rule, there are no truly deadly spiders in the United States. That being said an allergic reaction to the brown recluse or black widow can result in fatality, though it is rare. The biggest reason most people use a pest control treatment for spiders is good old-fashioned fear.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs have been the bane of human existence for thousands of years. In the 1940's these pests were nearly eradicated in the developed world but in the last couple of decades, they have reappeared on the scene. Reports are steadily rising of bed bug infestations leading individuals to consider either buying new furniture or hiring pest control services! This pest is not dangerous per se, but their presence can result in nasty rashes and some allergic reactions. An interesting side note: natural predators include ants, spiders and roaches other pests that people commonly attempt to eradicate.
Ants
Notorious for spoiling picnics but in truth a much bigger problem in the home. Ants are somewhat like roaches in that if you have seen one more are on the way! While ants do not pose a serious health risk, they too are annoying and some species can inflict a painful bite. Eradicating ants is a complicated process that requires removing the trail, killing those already in the home and decimating the nest to prevent returns. Pest control treatments are the best solution, though there are some home remedies you could try.
Conclusion
These are not the only household pests but merely the most common. Some of these pests are dangerous in their own right while others are carriers of disease and illness. Anyone can have problems with these pests and others such as fleas but thankfully, with the right pest control services you can get on with living in a pest free and safe environment.
