Info On the dangers and health risks associated with Pest in Colorado
Rodents, Mice and Rats
Structural Damage: Mice have strong teeth that can gnaw through materials such as wood, plastic, and even some types of concrete. This can lead to structural damage in your home, including holes in walls and floors, damaged electrical wiring, and weakened support structures.
Health Risks: Mice can spread diseases such as Hantavirus, Salmonellosis, and Plague through their droppings, urine, and saliva. These diseases can pose serious health risks to humans and pets.
Food Contamination: Mice are known to invade food storage areas and contaminate food with their droppings and urine. This not only leads to food loss but can also pose serious health risks if contaminated food is consumed.
Spiders
Unsightly Webs: Spiders often create webs in homes and gardens. These can be unsightly and require regular cleaning to maintain the aesthetics of your property
Bees & Wasps
Structural Damage: Wasps can cause significant damage to your home if they construct nests inside the walls. The nests can create problems when they become damp, weakening the structural integrity of the wall structures, making them more susceptible to rot
Health Risks: Some wasps are venomous and their stings can cause serious health problems, including significant pain and irritation3. In fact, around 225,000 emergency room visits and 100 deaths per year are due to wasp stings
Aggressive Behavior: Wasps can become aggressive if they feel their nest is threatened, and they can coordinate a defensive attack4. This can be particularly problematic if the wasps are located near areas where people frequently spend time.
