Pests Pose Threats To People
Go to the science fiction section of any video store and you’ll find horrifying creatures that will give you nightmares for weeks. And, often, they’re insects. For as long as Hollywood has been making motion pictures, directors have used insects to illicit strong emotional reactions from audiences.
Of course, the real danger is the billions of dollars in food that insects destroy and the billions of dollars in property damage for which they’re responsible. But, more terrifying than even the scariest horror movie is the impact pests can have on your health.
The housefly, for example, can carry more than 100 kinds of disease-causing organisms and may transmit more than 65 of them to humans and animals. Cockroaches can transmit food poisoning, cholera, dysentery and typhoid. And the diseases carried by fleas have caused more human deaths than every war in human history combined!
That’s where the pest control professionals come in. Like the knight in shining armor or the cowboy with the white hat in your favorite movie, they make their living by defeating the bad guys.
The professional pest management technicians rely on training, expertise and sophisticated techniques to perform pest control in an environmentally responsible manner.
