Cockroaches In Your House Can Make You Sick
There are many types of cockroaches in Summerville, and all can make you sick if you allow them to live inside your home. How do they get people sick? By rubbing their dirty bodies over countertops, munching on left-out food, and defecating throughout homes. Some common diseases spread by cockroaches are salmonellosis, leprosy, listeriosis, plague, cholera, and dysentery. In addition to getting people sick with bacteria, pathogens, and parasites, cockroaches also cause asthma attacks and allergies. They do this when they shed their skin and leave dry excrement throughout people's homes. These byproducts break down and act like dust for people with respiratory problems. Assuming you do not like not breathing and the threat of sickness, you will want to find a long-term solution to keep these pests out of your home.
Why Do I Have Cockroaches In My House?
Cockroaches look at homes as a place to hide, find food, and stay moist. Problems start when these pests establish a nest somewhere on your property, leading to exploration and the eventual discovery of entry points around your home's exterior. Some entry points, like an open door or window, are easy to identify. Others are harder to spot, like the gaps around loose-fitting ventilation covers. After cockroaches get indoors, they then look for places to hide, things to eat, and moisture to keep their bodies slippery. They find these things inside kitchens, basements, laundry rooms, and general living areas. The good news is that there are ways to get these pests out of your home quickly.
