Keeping Your Family Safe from Pest-Borne Diseases in Perth

Pest management isn't just about getting rid of pests since they appear awful. It does a lot to safeguard your family’s health. Insects often carry harmful diseases that can rapidly spread throughout your home. The hot weather makes it the perfect place for pests to breed throughout the year.

Pests live in dirty places. They tend to live in drains, sewers, rubbish areas and roof spaces. The moment the pests step through your door, they also bring with them bacteria, germs, and parasites. That’s why pest control is a household necessity when it comes to ensuring a clean and healthy environment.

Here are some of the most common pests that you can find inside an average Perth home and if those pose any health risks.

Mice and Health Risks

Mice might appear harmless but they are extremely hazardous to health. Once they find their way inside your abode, they will be on a never-ending hunt for food and shelter. They may not get to your meal directly, but they make contact with surfaces as they crawl.

Mice urinate frequently. This urine is infected with harmful bacteria and spreads across floors, benches and cupboards. The secondary contamination of diseases, like salmonella and meningitis, might occur. The greatest threat is that mouse urine dries swiftly and cannot be easily seen. You might not even know that your kitchen surfaces have caught it.

Pest professionals use their training and knowledge to identify mice and eliminate the problem before they are able to do extensive harm.

Cockroaches and Disease Spread

Perth is not only a beautiful city, it's also home to millions of cockroaches! They are generally found in sewer systems and drains. From there, they enter homes in a quest for food and warmth.

Cockroaches carry bacteria, parasites and pathogens as they move areas such as your kitchen and cupboards. These insects infest food, dishes and surfaces. They also leave droppings, urine and body parts in their shed behind.

As these materials degrade, they spit out dust particles. When inhaled, they can provoke allergies, breathing problems and asthma attacks. Research also shows that cockroach dust is more detrimental for those with asthma than pet hair or regular home dust.

Rats and Serious Diseases

Rats are another pest of a little more than medium size, and one that does yet worse damage. They are able to gnaw through walls, pipes and wiring while searching for food and water. Their urine and droppings can spread diseases like leptospirosis, which attacks the liver, kidneys and heart.

Rats also transmit disease through the air, when waste that has dried becomes airborne. Owing to their size, rats may bite or scratch humans, causing infection with organisms like rat-bite fever.

An early pesticide treatment minimizes these dangers and stops infestations before they get established.
