Pest control has always been considered an essential service. This is because it provides necessary management of rodents and insects that carry and spread harmful diseases throughout the community. When left unchecked, these pests can quickly spread. They will enter your homes, infect your kitchens and bathrooms, or take up residence in your yard or garage.
The foremost purpose of pest control and removal or extermination of these invaders from your property is to maintain your health and safety. This includes that of your family, friends and community as a whole. Some pests, like rodents, spread harmful diseases by leaving traces of droppings in your food storage or preparation areas. Bees and wasps can cause life threatening allergic reactions. Pests like roaches can exacerbate existing medical conditions like asthma.
Rodents can get out of hand very quickly due to their prolific nature. Before you know it you will have an entire family of rodents living in your walls.
They can cause serious property damage in addition to health problems they pose. Worldwide, rats and mice spread over 35 diseases.
These diseases can be spread to humans directly, through handling of rodents, contact with feces, urine, or saliva, or through rodent bites.
Keeping these harmful intruders as far away from your living space as possible is the best way to limit the spread of diseases passed by rodents. This is where pest control professionals can help.
Rodent populations can be difficult to manage for the typical homeowner. This is because they can require constant surveillance and upkeep of materials.
Hiring a professional will get your rodent infestation under control quickly and safely for all involved.

Or maybe when you opened the door to let the dog in, But if you regularly see insects start to exhibit signs of living in and multiplying in your home, it’s time to consult a professional.

They also carry six parasitic worms and more than seven other types of human pathogens. This is just one example of disease-carrying insects, but there are many more.
You do not want to face them alone! Pest control plays an important role in keeping these unhealthy conditions at bay. This can be especially important for any individuals with underlying health conditions or other allergies.
Wasps aren’t generally associated with carrying diseases, but they can still carry the burden of being a public health hazard due to their violent stings.
Some species will even attack when unprovoked. Although most will not bother with humans unless they feel their nest is in danger.
These stings can prove deadly to some individuals who have a venom allergy. Unfortunately, most people don’t know they have this allergy until after they are stung.
Wasps can nest in the eaves of your home, underneath shutters or in cracks of siding, or in tall trees or short bushes on your property.
Depending on the species they may even burrow in the ground, making a nest difficult to spot.
