Prevention of Allergies
Pests cause a range of health problems in susceptible people. These include 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. Cockroach populations, for example, cause allergies in around 7% of the population. They are also to blame for causing asthma in children.
Avoiding the Spread of Diseases
Leprosy, Lyme disease, intestinal infections, skin infections, dengue, malaria, urinary tract infections, dysentery, and food poisoning are just a few of the health problems that bacteria and pathogen infested pests can cause. They also carry a number of other viruses that can affect human and animal health. Many of these diseases are treatable, but prevention is better than a ton of cure! Many of these health concerns can cause serious health issues in children, the elderly and immune-compromised individuals, many of whom may require professional medical treatment or hospitalization is infected. It is estimated that in Australia tens of millions of dollars are wasted each year in medical bills caused by the spread of diseases by insects, rodents and other animals.
Protecting Furniture, Carpets and Clothing
COntrol methods should be utilised to save furniture, carpets and clothing and avoid the expenses associated with repairs and potential replacement. Burrowing insects are notorious for causing damage to the wooden and fabric components of furniture. Others, such as carpet bugs, moths, cockroaches, bookworms and silverfish are also attracted to fabric, and will use it as a source of food, causing often irreparable damage.
