The Central Ohio area has over
700 insects. Any one of these insects, or other pests, could potentially infest your home or business. Not only do pests bring with them an assortment of diseases, but they also can destroy property, damage your belongings, and ruin your food. The longer you go without taking care of a pest, the more damage it can do.
Pests come with a long list of potential health risks. Depending on the pest, a person may get a simple cough or something more serious. Unfortunately, coming into contact with the pest isn’t the only way a person’s health is at risk. As pests roam about a property, anything they touch has the potential to become contaminated. The situation becomes even worse for businesses that handle food. It’s possible to get dozens, if not hundreds, of people sick within a short amount of time. Homes and businesses need to remain vigilant when it comes to pests and preventing them from entering their property.
Many people are under the assumption that pests infest an area due to a lack of cleanliness. That is not always the case. Pests are continually seeking food and shelter. If they are able to discover it in your residence or place of business, then they will not hesitate to move in and start multiplying.
Kitchens
are a common place for pests to appear. Certain insects, such as fruit flies and ants, are attracted to sugar, fruits, and vegetables. A simple mistake of leaving something out overnight could lead to a sudden infestation.
Another reason why you may come across a pest suddenly being in your home is the season. Some pests tend to seek shelter in the winter. While you may not see these pests because they are in a hibernation like state called diapause, others will invade, and their presence will be apparent.
