Most homeowners believe exterminators are only suited to treat insect infestations, but that is not true. Professionals can help with wildlife, microscopic pests, and even provide rodent removal service. From solutions to prevent these unwanted guests from your home to actual extermination, the pest control professionals are ready to help with all of your issues. Here are a few surprising pests your extermination service can address.
Lice
While common because children are in close quarters at school, lice should never be considered normal. If your child has contracted lice, using specialized shampoos to rid their hair of these small bugs is essential. Washing linens, stuffed animals and any other fabrics your child comes into contact with is also necessary steps to reduce the risk of a home infestation. However, pest control specialists can also help rid your home of lice using carpet and rug shampoos and other products.
Scabies
Scabies are tiny mites that burrow under the skin’s surface, resulting in skin irritation, inflammation, and pain. If left untreated, scabies can lead to infections that are life-threatening, especially in young children and elderly individuals.
Although your pest control team cannot treat members of your household that have scabies, they can help remove these dangerous mites from your home.
Dust Mites
Whether you experience uncomfortable allergy symptoms or not, dust mites can wreak havoc on your home and health. Dusting your home regularly can help control a dust mite infestation. Also, replacing heating, cooling, and vacuum filters with HEPA filters will decrease the dust and other residues that accumulate in your home.
Consulting a pest control team can also help you determine ways in which you can reduce allergens and other dust mites in your home. The professionals can inspect your home for issues that are increasing the risk of dust mites, such as cracks in the foundation or attic that lead to humidity problems.
Rodents
An occasional mouse in your home may not seem like a big problem, but mice and other rodents carry numerous diseases that can become dangerous.
If you have one mouse, you may have more that could potentially enter your home. Contact an exterminator to determine if a rodent removal service is beneficial to you, your family, your home, and your health.
From clearing your home of mice and bugs to preventing future infestations, using a pest control professional will be a great investment. To learn more about treatment and prevention for many types of pests and a rodent removal service, contact Bug Commander in Frisco, TX at (214) 307-1933.
