Household pests are more than just a nuisance — they can damage property, contaminate food, and pose health risks. Knowing which pests are common in homes and how to control them is essential for a safe and comfortable living environment. Here are the top seven pests and tips to manage them:
1. Cockroaches
Cockroaches spread bacteria and allergens, contaminating food and surfaces. Keep your home clean, store food in sealed containers, and call professionals for effective fumigation.
2. Bedbugs
Bedbugs hide in mattresses, furniture, and cracks, causing itchy bites and sleepless nights. Professional treatment is essential to completely eliminate them.
3. Termites
Termites silently destroy wooden structures. Prevent infestations by inspecting wooden items regularly, reducing moisture, and applying professional termite treatments.
4. Rodents (Rats & Mice)
Rodents chew wires, damage property, and spread disease. Seal entry points, keep food sealed, and use professional rodent control for lasting results.
5. Ants
Ants can contaminate food and spread quickly. Clean up food spills promptly, seal entry points, and use targeted treatments to remove infestations.
6. Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes carry diseases such as malaria and dengue. Reduce standing water, use protective screens, and apply safe fumigation to control populations.
7. Flies
Flies are not only annoying but also carry bacteria. Maintain cleanliness, cover food, and call pest control professionals to minimize infestations.
