Regardless of what leads a family to call for pest control in Pearland homes require quality professional service to be rid of bugs or vermin. No one likes the idea of a roach running across their food, kitchen table or baby toys, but more important than the icky-factor which motivates most to call pest control is the serious health consequences allowing an infestation to go untreated can cause. Depending on the pest allergies can be triggered, deadly bacteria and viral infections can develop and skin irritation occurs. Calling a professional pest control expert at the first hint of pest infestations is the only way to protect a family and home.
Allergies and Asthma
Most Pearland families do not realize how much pests can affect allergies and asthma. Pest control not only eliminates pests from a home but it also creates a safer environment for breathing. Many people have allergic reactions to cockroach saliva and rodent droppings. Many times the droppings go undiscovered and turn into dust which is then caught up in the air flow of the home depositing itself in unsuspecting lungs. Certain diseases have been attributed to rodent droppings being inhaled and are quite deadly. A significant percent of the population is allergic to bees, wasps and ant stings. When an infestation occurs the chance of accidental stinging increasing which often leads to severe allergic reactions.
Diseases Carried by Pests
Almost all pests carry diseases and bacteria with them into a home. Whether it is in their bodies and left behind in the form of droppings or saliva or on their bodies these diseases can kill humans who come into contact. Rabies is a common disease carried by bats which unfortunately enjoy nothing more than a home’s attack to call home. Rabid bats are highly aggressive and if bitten family members must receive painful treatment to prevent the spread of the disease.
Bites and Rashes
Pearland families know all too well the itchy side effects of being bitten by mosquitoes. Unfortunately without pest control measures in place homes can be infested with mosquitoes. Even worse is a home infested with ants or bed bugs. Found in colonies of thousands ants can quickly invade a home and nibble on anyone in their path.
Several people have minor or even severe allergic reactions to the bites. Bed bugs live in furniture and mattresses and bite unsuspecting victims as they sleep. Both can be eradicated through heat or chemical methods by a licensed pest control expert.
Whether trying to get rid of bed bugs or roaches Pearland families have more to fear than dead bug bodies littering their homes. Due to health effects seen with a lack of pest control Pearland families should contact pest control experts at the first sign of a pest problem.
