Pests That Do More Than Just Annoy

Central Indiana Residential Pest Control

No one wants a pest infestation in or around their home. In some cases, pests can be avoided with the proper preventative pest control achieved on your own and with the help of a professional pest control expert. However, some can be difficult to prevent and must be eradicated after an infestation.

A variety of pests can do more than just buzz around and annoy you and your family. In fact, some pests can even be deadly to certain individuals. It’s important to take precautions with the following types of pests and be proactive by exterminating any infestation. Don’t let these pests cause harm to you or your family.

MOSQUITOES

While those living in Indiana aren’t at an immediate risk of Zika virus that is transmitted by mosquitoes, Zika is not the only blood-borne pathogen that these pests can carry. Mosquitoes in Indiana can infect individuals with West Nile Virus, La Crosse encephalitis, and St. Louis encephalitis, to name a few. Additionally, a mosquito bite can be uncomfortably itchy and take time to heal.

COCKROACHES

Most individuals think that cockroaches are simply an inconvenience, but for some, they can be quite dangerous. 17 to 59 percent of inner-city children have quite severe allergies to cockroach allergens. These indoor allergens can aggravate asthma and cause other severe reactions if there is an infestation in the home.

The best way to avoid problems with cockroaches is to keep the home clean, however, if that hasn’t been enough, it’s time to call in the pest control experts to exterminate the insects.

BED BUGS

While not known to be a carrier of disease, bed bugs can be a real problem for some households. The biggest concern with these pests is that their bite can cause severe itching and potentially lead to a secondary skin infection. They are also exceptionally difficult to get rid of.

Many do-it-yourself techniques will not work, so in the case of bed bugs, stick to working with the professionals to rid yourself of sleepless nights.

HORNETS

We all know how much of a problem hornets and other wasps can be. Along with being aggressive and having painful stings, for some, they can also be deadly. A wasp nest above the garage or under the back porch can spell disaster for individuals who have a severe allergy to their sting. At the first sign of a problem, call a professional immediately.
