5 Reasons Why Pest Control is More Important Than Ever
We are all living in an amazingly stressful uncertain time right now. With the coronavirus running rampant throughout the country and bringing most of our society to a standstill, pest control may be the last thing on your mind. But, it is very important to keep up with pest control right now. Here are five reasons why.
Five reasons why pest control is important
Pest control from a reputable company like Barefoot Pest Control is essential. Here are five reasons for why you need professional pest control now more than ever.
5. Reduces pests in homes and on the streets
Regular pest control can help reduce the number of pests in homes on the streets. Without as many people out of their homes, it has provided the opportunity for pests to take over. For example, the CDC has actually warned about “aggressive” rats in NYC. The higher aggression levels in the rats were observed because of the COVID-19 restaurant shutdowns.
Obviously, Waldorf, MD is not that close to NYC. However, pest control reduces the number of pests, and that is the most important thing.
4. Pests can bring disease
It is important to keep the number of pests around humans to a minimum because they can spread disease. Pests are also known to spread viruses in addition to bacteria and parasites.
Some of the most common diseases spread by pests include malaria, yellow fever from mosquitoes, Lyme disease from ticks, and the plague, salmonella, and leptospirosis from rats. This is an incomplete list, as every pest has a list of diseases they may spread. Protect yourself and your family by bringing in pest control experts like Barefoot Pest Control.
3. Keeps damage away from your home, buildings, and property
In addition to spreading diseases and viruses, pests can cause a lot of damage to your home, buildings, and property. You want your Waldorf house and yard to stay looking great. Don’t let termites, carpenter ants, or any other damage-causing pest to gain a foothold in your home and property.
2. Your food and paper products will remain useable
If the coronavirus has shown us everything, it is that people like to horde. And in these uncertain times, some extra stocking up is understandable. But, all those paper products and extra food you have in your pantry will go to waste if pests get into them. Pest control can help your investment in your family’s security and toilet paper be worthwhile.
