Why Pests Are a Problem

Pests are often small, but they can cause big problems. An infestation can lead to health issues, property damage, and other challenges that can be overwhelming to manage. You can avoid these problems with a strong plan for pest prevention and ongoing pest management. Mosquito Squad is a trusted ally for thousands nationwide, and we can help protect you and your loved ones from the risks associated with pests. 

Health Risks Associated with Pests

Pests are notorious for spreading diseases and triggering allergic reactions. 

Some pests spread disease through contact with your bloodstream. Mosquitoes, for example, can transmit dangerous diseases such as West Nile virus, Zika virus, and malaria. Ticks, on the other hand, are carriers of Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and other harmful infections. 

Other pests spread disease and illness in other ways. One example is rodents, who are known to spread hantavirus and salmonella through their droppings and urine. Even insects like cockroaches, which may not bite or sting, can exacerbate asthma and allergies by introducing allergens into your home.

The best way to help protect your family from these risks is through comprehensive bug prevention methods that are focused on the favorite breeding and hiding places of the pests that are bothering you. Mosquito Squad can help with our excellent pest packages, each tailored to fight back against a group of problematic pests.

Potential Property Damage

In addition to the risks they pose to your health, pests can also wreak havoc on the structural integrity and overall aesthetic experience of homes and businesses. Carpenter ants and termites are especially destructive. They cause damage by burrowing through wooden structures. This type of damage can be expensive to repair and, if left untreated, could lead to major issues.

Additionally, rodents have been known to chew through electrical wiring, which can lead to dangerous fire hazards. Other pests, like ants and roaches, often invade food storage areas, where they can contaminate food, leading to waste or illness. Mosquito Squad can help you avoid these issues with outdoor pest prevention that can significantly reduce the likelihood of these pests damaging your home.

Pests Are a Constant Nuisance

Put simply, pests can make life uncomfortable. Your home should be a place where you can enjoy yourself in peace, and the presence of pests can compromise your ability to do so. Flies, mosquitoes, and gnats can make outdoor gatherings unpleasant, while spiders, ants, and other insects can cause ongoing frustration. 

Pest infestations can disrupt your sleep, cause stress, and may even impact your mental health.  There are simple bug prevention steps you can take by yourself to avoid pest infestations, like getting rid of standing water, properly dealing with garbage, and keeping your yard well-maintained. However, your best option is to turn to professional support from companies like Mosquito Squad.

How to Deal with Pest Problems

Infestations almost always begin outdoors.  Presented with an opportunity, arachnids and insects will move indoors seeking food and shelter.  Before treatment, Mosquito Squad team members visually inspect the foundation, any vegetation near the home, and all potential entry points, such as windows, doors, soffits, and other outdoor spaces.

After identifying these potential entry points, our team will work with you to create a plan of action. The next step is to implement a comprehensive pest control treatment. This will include spraying your home’s foundation and any other areas around your home where pests may be gathered. We also remove spider webs to manage these hard-to-control pests.  Specially selected insect baits, dusts, and wasp treatments are also deployed as necessary to ensure complete lifecycle interruption of numerous pests that can impact your home.

Other companies might stop there, but we are all too familiar with the importance of constant vigilance. Our services are available to you whenever you need them so that you can rely on consistent and proactive pest prevention to help you avoid infestations.
