It seems that everyone has their own idea
about what makes the worst household pest based on various personal phobias,
emotional reactions and visceral dislikes to certain pests like spiders,
roaches or rats.
Take me, for instance. Emotionally, I’d
rather see a termite than a roach. Or, even an ant rather than a spider. But,
logically I know this doesn’t make good sense. That’s when the experts come in
handy.
Professional exterminators and pestprevention services like Marigold Pest Control Services of Nashville can help
us view threats from household pests from a factual perspective – giving us
knowledge about which bugs to look out for and which pests can make the worst
problems for our homes.
1.
Cockroaches – In Nashville and the
Southeast, cockroaches can cause huge infestations because they multiply
quickly, hide well and can be difficult to eliminate.
2.
Mice & Rats – These creatures can
carry diseases, leave droppings in food areas and can cause thousands of
dollars in damage to your home.
3.
Termites – Termites are proof that what
you can’t see can hurt you. Many
homeowners take the risk of leaving their homes unprotected from termites,
costing them thousands of dollars in repairs after infestation by these
aggressive home eaters.
4.
Ants – Oftentimes ants will return year
after year until a homeowner decides to do something about it. These guys can
be pesky and difficult to get rid of and did you know ants can move their
entire colony into your home?
5.
Fleas – Our beloved cats, dogs and pets
are notorious for bringing fleas into the home. Once fleas and their eggs make
their way into your carpets or infest your surrounding lawn, they can cause a
homeowner a great deal of distress and embarrassment.
