Household Pests and Dangerous Diseases: What Perth Homeowners Should Know

With more people working from home, it’s easy to focus on daily routines and overlook hidden threats in your household. Common pests like flies, cockroaches, rats, and mice can carry dangerous diseases that affect your family’s health. Even in clean homes, these pests can go unnoticed while spreading germs throughout your property.

How Pests Spread Disease

Bugs collect bacteria from unsanitary places, food waste, or garbage and then transfer it around your house. Cockroaches, for instance, are usually found in unsanitary places. Bacteria are carried on their bodies, on their legs and even in their stomachs. As they crawl over food, utensils, benches or tables, they transmit harmful germs. Ingestion of food or objects contaminated with viral and bacterial agents may cause infections.

Various pests transmit various diseases. The vast majority of pests are nocturnal insects hiding away during the day, and this can mean that infestations lead to nobody being aware until it is a serious issue.

Signs of a Pest Infestation

Unattended homes sure can attract more pests into your house than a cleaned and maintained residence. And they need access to food and safe places to reproduce. If you're seeing the bugs during the day, then it is likely that a full-blown infestation has taken hold. Signs to look out for would be:

• Droppings around the home

• Foul or sickly smells

• Noises that sound like skittering, scratching or chewing at night

• Evidence of tampering, such as torn labels or tooth marks

It is important to be aware of these signs early. Prompt medical attention can help prevent more severe risks to health and long-term infections.
