Pests -- More Than Annoying

While some pests can cause damage to structures, fabrics and food items, many pests pose serious threats to human health.

^^ Houseflies can carry over 100 kinds of pathogenic organisms, and may transmit more than 65 human and animal disease organisms.

^^ Cockroaches can carry food poisoning, cholera, dysentery, and typhoid, and have been shown to cause allergies and asthma in children.

^^ Stinging insects such as bees, wasps and hornets can be life-threatening to sensitive individuals.

^^ Spiders such as brown recluse and black widow can inflict painful and (occasionally) lethal bites.

^^ Ticks can carry Lyme disease.

^^ Rodents such as mice and rats are known carriers of numerous disease pathogens, including plague hanta virus and typhus.

Because of the persistent nature of pests, a regular pest-control treatment can greatly reduce your family's risk. Effective control requires knowledge of pest identification, biology and life habits; experienced awareness of conducive conditions favoring pests; and learned effective control measures.

We are concerned for the safety of homeowners misusing over-the-counter pesticides. We commonly visit homes where pesticides are improperly applied, stored and discarded. Often containers are within easy reach of children and pets.

Woods Mill Pest Control technicians are trained to use, store and dispose of pesticides and pesticide containers in an approved and responsible manner. Our products and supplies are EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) registered, and applied in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. We have a genuine desire to safely solve your pest problems.
