The Household Pests That Endanger Your Health

January 16, 2018 by admin

A recent scientific discovery is not for the fainthearted. Cockroaches have been around for millions and millions of years, and apparently ancient cockroaches were much larger, comparable in size to the modern-day praying mantis. That means, if you were alive about 100 million years ago, you could have easily stumbled upon a cockroach two inches wide and up to five inches long. Although modern species aren’t quite as daunting, that knowledge probably does little to comfort homeowners who are currently dealing with them. And that’s okay, because reliable pest and cockroach control services are necessary, and not just to get rid of the “ick” factor.

Cockroaches Carry A Host Of Diseases
Nope. They’re not just unpleasant to look at. Any pest infestation, and particularly a cockroach infestation, can also be hazardous to your health. The large, beetle-like insects are capable of spreading up to 33 different kinds of bacteria. Roaches can result in skin rashes and transmit serious strains of bacteria, like E. coli, salmonella, and parasitic worms. And new studies suggest that’s not all. The creepy, crawly insects also increase Americans’ risk of glaucoma and asthma.

Cockroaches Aren’t The Only Pests That Cause Asthma
Cockroaches are gross. They can be a big problem. But they’re not the only ones. Termites can be similarly damaging, agitating asthma symptoms. The small insects can also encourage mold growth and spread it throughout your home, causing further health issues. As if these risks aren’t enough, termite exterminators reveal that many of the 2,000 global termite species affect 600,000 U.S. homes annually, resulting in $5 billion in damages.

Cockroaches and termites are nasty things. They share the ability to flare up asthma symptoms, and, beyond that, destroy your home and endanger your health in their own unique ways. Call cockroach control or termite exterminators as soon as you detect an infestation to keep you and your family healthy — and your home intact.
