Reasons Why You Need Regular Pest Control 

 

Let’s face it, no one likes having pests in their home. They are annoying, unhygienic, and at their worse dangerous. But there is a solution out there. Highly skilled and well-trained pest control technicians are just a call away! You might think though, “why do I need pest control, I could just do it myself”. Sometimes doing your own pest control is the right choice and healthy practices like keeping your home clean and clear of any food scraps will go a long way in reducing the impact of pests. Often though, doing it yourself will only be able to deal with surface-level pests. Here are the reasons that you need pest control!

 

Rodents and insect pests can be a health hazard: Pests can make you sick. Insects and rodents forage for food in unsanitary places and can pick up bacteria and germs along the way. When they travel into your home, they can spread pathogens that may cause diseases through bites, droppings, or contact with humans. Their presence can also exacerbate specific health problems, such as German cockroaches and asthma. Some bugs produce allergens that make it difficult for people with respiratory conditions like asthma and allergies to breathe easily. Regular pest control can help eliminate these pests that are associated with health hazards, making a better environment for your family.

 

Preventing allergies: Pests can cause a range of issues in people, such as skin allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Bed bugs and mosquitoes, for example, are notorious for causing skin rashes. Pests can also carry certain allergens that can cause strong allergic reactions in some people. Cockroaches, for example, can cause allergies in at least 7% of the population. They are also one of the leading causes of asthma in children.

 

You Can Prevent Property Damage: Insects can wreak havoc on your home. Some of the more destructive home invaders can eat away at or gnaw on the finishings or building materials in your home. They may even cause structural damage. Structural damage from termites and other insects such as powderpost beetle and other wood-destroying organisms can cause your property value to plummet. Some destructive bugs can be difficult to spot until they have caused significant damage. Trained pest control technicians, like those at Hulett, know what to look for and can help catch pest problems that arise earlier than the average homeowner. Not to mention rodents, which can gnaw on wood, chew through wires and plumbing, and also make a complete mess of your attic or kitchen with feces and urine.

 

You can Prevent Food Waste: Keeping a well-stocked pantry is part of good home economics, but unfortunately, many everyday pantry items are attractive to bugs. Many common pests, including ants and roaches, or even rodents, enter your home to forage for a food supply. When they find food in your living spaces, they’re likely to stick around. Bugs often crawl through garbage and other unsanitary environments. If they’ve been scurrying around in your pantry, you’ll need to throw away and replace any contaminated items. Unless the pest control problem is addressed, the insects will likely continue to eat your food. As an added layer of protection, in addition to regular pest control service, you can store your food in sealed plastic or glass containers to keep out pests such as roaches.

 

You Get Peace of Mind: Taking care of a home can be overwhelming. For most Americans, their home is their biggest investment, and maintaining their property comes with many responsibilities, including pest control. When you hire a professional pest control service, there’s no need to worry about insects and the costly damage they can do to your home, your most important investment. You know that your technician has your back. That way, you can rest assured that you’re doing your due diligence and protecting your family and property from bugs.

 

Avoiding diseases and other health risks: Leprosy, skin infections, urinary tract infections, Lyme disease, intestinal infections, dysentery, dengue, malaria, and food poisoning are just a few of the diseases and health problems that pests can cause. They also carry a number of bacteria and viruses that can affect human and animal health. Although many of these diseases are treatable, they can cause serious health issues in children, the elderly, and immune-compromised individuals, many of whom will require professional medical treatment or hospitalization. That, in turn, can translate to millions of dollars in medical costs.
