Insect Control

Insects are the most numerous creatures on Earth, and while many play beneficial roles in the environment, some become unwelcome guests in our homes. These insect pests can cause harm in a variety of ways:

Health Risks: Many insects can transmit diseases to humans and pets. Mosquitoes, for example, can spread diseases like West Nile virus and Zika. Cockroaches and flies can contaminate food with bacteria, leading to foodborne illness. Fleas and ticks can transmit tapeworms and other parasites.
Structural Damage: Termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects can eat away at the wooden structures of your home, causing significant damage that can be expensive to repair. Other insects, like carpet beetles, can damage clothing, furniture, and other household items.
Nuisance and Annoyance: Even insects that don’t pose a direct health risk can be a nuisance. Their bites can be itchy and irritating. Their presence can be unsettling, especially for people with entomophobia (fear of insects). Some insects, like flies and gnats, can also be bothersome with their constant buzzing and presence.
Allergic Reactions: Bee stings and wasp stings can be painful and trigger allergic reactions in some people. For those with severe allergies, these stings can be life-threatening. Additionally, some people are allergic to insect bites from mosquitoes, fleas, or bed bugs, leading to uncomfortable reactions.
