Wasp stings can be excruciating and dangerous to those who are allergic to wasp venom. To keep away wasps from your property, consider sealing waste bins because wasps are attracted to exposed garbage and food sources. According to the Journal of Pest Management Science, peppermint oil can be used to repel wasps effectively. To eliminate wasp nests, consider calling Pestend Mississauga.

Cockroaches are among the most common pests. However, they can be quite dangerous. The danger they pose to humans arises from their saliva, which contains a whole host of allergens that are potent enough to cause moderate to severe allergies in sensitive individuals. The worst thing about cockroaches is that they secrete their saliva almost continuously. That’s why if there are cockroaches present in the environment of a person who suffers from asthma, the individual may experience severe respiratory difficulties. That’s why it’s important to call a professional cockroach control company, like Pestend Missiauga, whenever you spot any sign of a cockroach infestation.

Of all insects, hornets and wasps are perhaps the ones that generate the most fear and dread across Mississauga.

It has since been regularly sighted near Washington State’s northwest corner. Although these hornets do not attack people, their venom can be more toxic as compared to stings of other bees and wasps. If you sight hornets or wasps of any kind, the best thing to do is to call Pestend Mississauga for safe wasp nest removal.

Every home has a bacterial community known as microbiome, in which the microbes coexist with us and affect the indoor air quality. It has been found, however, that homes infested with bed bugs have a different microbiome as compared to homes without bed bugs. A study compared nineteen homes infested with bed bugs and 11 homes without any bed bugs. When the infested homes were cleared of bed bugs, their microbiomes became very similar to the bed bug-free homes. These studies reveal a lot about how bed bugs affect indoor air quality. A bed bug exterminator must be contacted if your home is infested.
