Be Aware! Dengue Fever is on the rise in South FL - protect your home against Mosquitos by Scheduling your next spray
Whether you realize it or not, some pests can potentially cause harm to you and your family. Unfortunately, some people think of these uninvited houseguests as merely a nuisance. They don’t take these dangerous pests seriously. As a result, they end up suffering the consequences of their neglect.
In case you’re not aware, that tiny mouse that you saw in the kitchen is far more dangerous than any rat. Although it’s much smaller in terms of size, it doesn’t require much food in order to survive. What’s more, the house mouse has the ability to reproduce faster than the rat, they bite, and they carry all sorts of pathogens on their fur and in their droppings that can make you and your family members sick.
Like the house mouse, rats are able to survive without much food and they also tend to breed quickly. Those who get bitten and scratched by rats may likely become susceptible to the diseases that these rodents may carry. Even when a rat is dead, it remains to be a health hazard in your home.
Most people are guilty of not taking these tiny pests seriously. However, if you find yourself dealing with dangerous ant species such as the carpenter ants, you may end up sinking your money into house repairs because these ants can do damage to the wooden structures in your home. Another ant species that you should be worried about is the fire ant. Its bite can sting and cause welts or pustules to form which could lead to infections. Furthermore, the bite of a fire ant can also trigger allergic reactions that could potentially become life-threatening.
If you find yourself dealing with any of these pests, don’t hesitate to schedule an inspection with the pest control experts at O’Hara Pest Control.
