Are pests Harmful to my health?
The dangers that pests pose to one’s health can be as simple as having a small insect bite up to life-threatening contagious diseases. That is why it is important to make sure that our homes remain pest-free. This does not only guarantee the durability of the structure of our homes but it also helps the family stay healthy. Below is a list of common pests you should avoid and the dangers they could bring to your health:
- COCKROACHES
People hate cockroaches because of the foul odor they leave behind; plus, they are pretty ugly insects. Cockroaches are also well known carriers of various bacteria and viruses that children can pick up when they play in places where roaches may have been. Allied Pest Management employs safe and effective state of the art cockroach control treatments for these roaches with the use of non-invasive products. Our cockroach control products are effective at eliminating roaches in all stages of life; whereas most store bought “bombs” are only useful on adults.
- RATS AND MICE
These two pests are among the most difficult pests to get rid of. They have developed survival instincts that allow them to avoid traps and poisons. Rat urine and dirt, as well as their bite, can pose serious threats to the homeowners. These can contain viruses and bacteria that can infect the human body; oftentimes, it can get fatal. Included on the list of the diseases from rats is Leptospirosis, a disease that attacks the immune system of the body. It can be picked up from floods or ingested, where the food preparation area has been contaminated. Mice are carriers of Salmonella in the household because they walk on uncovered food, exposed utensils, and unwashed dishes. Because average mouse colonies number in the dozens, contacting Allied Pest Management regarding Mice Control & Rodent Control is a smart first step. Our fully trained, experienced technicians along with our state on the art trucks, equipment and materials will take care of these rodents once and for all. And better yet, our Mice Control & Rodent Control treatments are designed to take care of the entire nest so you can rest easy at bedtime.
- FLEAS
These are the silent killers when it comes to the category of pests inflicting pain on human beings. Unlike mosquitoes, rats, and mice, these pests flourish in particular areas. As for fleas, they live on animal hosts and jump from one animal to another, and sometimes, on humans too. Fleas can transmit a surprising number of diseases to animals and humans. Fleas can cause serious harm to you and your pet’s health through their bites and when they are ingested (such as when self-grooming) by the animals they target. Contact Allied Pest Management for advice on our flea control and what preparation is needed before flea service can be performed.
