More importantly are the health concerns of living with pests. From being bitten to getting exposed to disease, these creatures are dangerous to have around your home, and you must take them seriously.

Mice and Rats

One of the most common and dangerous household pests, mice and rats can be be destructive, they can easily spread disease through their feces, saliva and hair. They may carry lice, ticks and fleas, which can get into your house and onto you and your pets.

Bed Bugs and Fleas

Bed bugs are so tiny that you really can’t see them, but you can definitely feel them when they bite you. Fleas are easier to see, but you may not notice them until you have an army to deal with. The bites will itch and create red spots that you don’t want others to see. What’s even worse is they can also carry germs and bacteria which can lead to health issues.

Wasps and Bees

Stings from wasps and bees are painful and can be unpleasant. Some people can have dangerous reactions with the area that got stung swelling up or worse. Those who are allergic to bees or wasps can even have a life-threatening reaction, causing difficulty breathing. Immediate attention is necessary with an EpiPen or emergency medical care.

Cockroaches and Dust Mites

People are often allergic to cockroaches without realizing it. Dust mites can trigger allergies, including an asthma attack. If you are already suffering from an allergy attack, these creatures can make you feel even worse. Another concern with cockroaches is that they carry serious illnesses, including E Coli and salmonella, according to the CDC.

Ticks and Mosquitoes

Bites from these pests are painful and often leave large red whelps that are itchy. However, a more serious concern is if the one that bites you may carry a disease, such as West Nile Virus or Lyme disease.
