Pest control is an essential part of maintaining public health. It’s not just about getting rid of nuisances, it’s a critical safeguard against various health risks. Understanding the connection between pest control and public health is key for both businesses and households.

 

Pests: A Threat to Health and Wellbeing

 

Disease Transmission: Many pests, like rats, mosquitoes, and flies, are carriers of diseases. They can transmit ailments like Salmonella, E. coli, and even malaria.

 

Allergies and Asthma: Pests such as cockroaches and dust mites are known to exacerbate allergies and asthma, especially in children and the elderly.

 

Contamination: Rodents and insects can contaminate food supplies and kitchen surfaces, leading to foodborne illnesses.

 

Stress and Wellbeing: The presence of pests can cause significant stress and anxiety, impacting overall wellbeing.
