Pests Not Worth Having

Homeowners need to be concerned with pests, especially since there are many kinds of them. Yes, pests are annoying, even if they are harmless to people, but because they are annoying no one would entertain the idea of having one in their house. But the truth is some pests are not limited to annoyance only. Some pests are extremely dangerous just like the 2 pests that we shall discuss here.


Termites


Most of us know what a termite is. They are interesting little creatures that would endanger homes, buildings, structures, furniture or anything that contains wood. Even though termites appear scary and might bite, they are actually harmless to us humans. They rarely bite at all. They aren’t even carriers of diseases. They are only known to consume wood and destroy homes.


A termite doesn’t eat much but it lives with thousands of other termites in a single colony. Thus, the entire colony ends up consuming lots of wood. If left unchecked, a colony of termites would level down a small house in just a few months. If there are termites present, you would then need to call termite and pest control Los Angeles.


Mice


Mice and their relatives the rats are highly dangerous pests. They not only pose hazards to our belongings and homes but also to our health. They are not picky and would chew anything their paws can get hold off. They would chew on wires exposing it and causing fire hazards. They would damage wood and funiture. They would even chew on bricks and cement defacing the value of your home.


The biggest threat these pests bring is the health risks they have. Mice and also mice are unsanitary creatures. They carry germs that can cause various sicknesses.
