Three common pests that no one wants to see are bed bugs, mosquitoes and roaches. If you encounter these pests in your home or yard, it’s time to call for help.
Unwelcome Bed Buddies
Bed bugs often hitchhike into your home inside luggage. These insects feed exclusively on the blood of humans and animals. Their bites manifest as itchy, red welts, and they may be mistaken for other types of insect bites. If you wake up with numerous bites or find flat, brown insects in your sheets, bed bugs are likely suspects.
A Threat Throughout History
The tiny, winged mosquito is a common outdoor nuisance, and if there is standing water in the area, serious infestations can develop. Mosquitoes also feed on human blood, and their bites typically cause severe itching. Mosquitoes are known to carry and transmit diseases that range from relatively mild to deadly; past and present mosquito-borne threats include malaria, yellow fever and West Nile virus.
Everyone’s Least Favorite Bug
Roaches are brown, oval-shaped insects with six legs and long antennae. They’re scavengers that feed on everything from food debris to cardboard, glue, soap and electric wiring. Roaches can contaminate food stores, cause structural damage and leave behind fecal matter that exacerbates allergies and asthma in humans.
