Here are the most common pests that people find in their homes.
Pigeons
As cute as pigeons might seem when they are nesting in a tree outside, they’re not so cute when they enter your home.
Common signs of a pigeon infestation include:
- Continuous bird noises
- Nesting materials around your home, such as twigs and leaves
- Droppings on the floor
- More birds than usual flying around your home or landing on your roof
- Damage to your property caused by pecking or fouling
Pigeons can be very disruptive to your life. They are noisy and can damage the structures and furniture on your property. when they leave droppings in your home, they can cause a nasty odor that cannot be ignored.
Mice and Rats
Some people keep rodents as pets because they’re fun to play with and look cute. However, when unwanted mice and rats enter your home, they can cause a lot of damage and disruption.
Rodents carry a range of diseases, including hantavirus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV), leptospirosis, Tularemia, and Salmonella. All of these diseases are dangerous to humans, and pose a safety risk to you and your family.
Mice and rats can also cause a lot of damage to your floorboards and furniture. They use their sharp teeth and claws to gnaw and scratch at things in your home.
If they chew through electrical wiring, you might end up needing to completely replace your electrics. Not only is this expensive but it’s also dangerous.
Flies and Mosquitos
Just one fly in your home can be a nuisance but when there are hundreds or thousands of them, it becomes a safety hazard. Flies and mosquitos can bite you, leaving itchy, swollen sores on your skin. They can also carry diseases, such as malaria.
Those pesky flying creatures surround areas where there is rotting food or organic matter, so it’s important to empty the trash cans and ensure there are no dead animals, like rodents, around your property.
