Mosquitoes

These tiny insects are a nuisance as well as health risks! They may cause you to lose sleep and can carry and spread viruses like Zika, Malaria, West Nile, Dengue and Eastern Equine Encephalitis etc. These viruses can cause severe health issues and, in some cases, even death. A mosquito treatment at your home is absolutely essential for your family’s health.

Cockroaches

The common pest in many homes is a serious health risk. Cockroaches shed their skin and leave behind urine & droppings which can swiftly turn into airborne allergens. They multiply quickly causing many allergens in homes. People affected by Asthma and children are at higher risk. Besides, cockroaches live and breed in dirty places making it vital to not only treat and protect your home from cockroaches. Deep clean your home regularly as well.

Bed Bugs

Even though bed bugs aren’t known to transmit diseases to humans, their bite effects can cause allergic reactions. Blisters, hives, rashes can form or the bites can become infected. Insomnia, depression, stress, and more can happen if the bed bug situation is not under control.

Mice & Rats

If you leave out any food, these rodents can contaminate your kitchen. They constantly urinate as they move through your home and this can give entry to any disease into your home. Inhaling the evaporating waste of these rodents can have harmful effects on your health leading to diseases. Fever from rat bites is a severe infection and can cause death in some cases. Sealing small cracks and crevices around your home can keep them out.
