Each of these types of pests brings a unique set of challenges and problems.
Due to the array of pests that are known to invade Tracy homes, there are a variety of dangers they can pose to homes.
Because of Tracy’s warm climate, it attracts a lot of stinging pests, such as bees, wasps, and yellow jackets. A sting from a bee or wasp is unpleasant for anyone, but this can be very dangerous for people allergic to stinging insect venom.
In addition to the threat of being stung is the potential to contract a disease from an infected pest. Cockroaches, for example, can cause dysentery, salmonellosis, and giardia. Rodents such as mice and rats are similarly dangerous, potentially spreading diseases such as hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonellosis. Many other pests have the potential to carry disease-causing bacteria, which they can spread to you and your family.
Some pests also cause damage to homes. For example, rodents often chew through wiring, drywall, and even pipes in their search for food, water, and nesting materials.
