How Pest Control is Healthy for Us

Effective pest control is crucial for maintaining health and well-being in several ways:

1. Prevents Disease Transmission:

   • Insects: Pests such as mosquitoes and ticks are known vectors for diseases like malaria, West Nile virus, Lyme disease, and more. Controlling these pests reduces the risk of disease transmission to humans.
   • Rodents: Rats and mice can carry diseases such as hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella. Proper pest control helps prevent the spread of these diseases.

2. Reduces Allergens and Asthma Triggers:

   • Cockroaches: These insects can exacerbate asthma and allergies through their droppings, body parts, and saliva. Effective control measures can reduce exposure to these allergens.
   • Dust Mites: By managing pests that contribute to indoor dust, such as certain insects, you can help reduce triggers for asthma and allergic reactions.
