Why is Pest Control Important?
No matter where you live, pest control and proper pest management control practices is critical in preventing deadly diseases, protecting public health, and safeguarding our homes. While a few bugs here and there may not seem like a big deal, a particular pest infestation can lead to costly damages…which are sometimes irreversible.
Prevents Health Problems
When we think of pests, we often think of roaches and pesky, household flies. But pests can also include rats, bed bugs, and other harmful insects that pose serious health risks. Insect bites from certain bugs, such as ticks and mosquitoes can transmit deadly diseases, such Lyme Disease and West Nile virus.
The same is true for dangerous pests like rats or other rodents who are prime carriers of disease. Typically, homeowners think they need to have been bitten to experience a health concern, such as rat bite fever. However, unsanitary environments can attract these types of animals, whose droppings alone carry viruses and other deadly diseases, such as salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and hantavirus. Exposure to the droppings can cause severe illness, lung disease, and other respiratory issues.
Some insect pests, like the ones our furry friends bring home with them (like fleas!) cause allergies and skin irritation. In fact, according to recent studies the third leading cause in a child’s asthma is the roach allergen! So, truthfully, even common pests like cockroaches, ants and spiders can lead to sanitation and health concerns.
Don’t let a lack of pest control lead to an emergency room trip. Pest control services like those offered by Wild Wild Pest Control in San Diego can help identify pest problems and minimize the risks involved.
