Spring Allergies or Pest Infestation?

It's that time of the year again, spring allergies have arrived! You may think that the plants blooming may be the cause of your allergies, however, you may be surprised at the real culprit. Your spring allergies could be the result of a pest infestation. Certain pests could cause allergy symptoms as well as asthma. Your local pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks can help you identify and get rid of any pests infesting your home.


Allergy-Causing Pests

Stinging Insects

Hornets, yellow jackets and wasps could potentially cause allergic reactions. Now that spring is in full swing, we're seeing these stinging insects more and more. Don't let your home become a place for them to create their nest. If someone in your home is allergic to a stinging insect, it could be fatally dangerous.

Rodents
Mice and rats are dirty and often carry diseases and bacteria. They could be the reason you're experiencing allergies this season, as they also carry numerous allergens. If you have mice or rats in your home, you will find droppings, chewed food containers and electrical wire and hear noises in the walls.

Dust Mites
Dust mites are microscopic pests that can cause a large impact on your home. They like to live in linens and carpets and will feed off dead skin cells. Dust mites and their droppings are often the cause of allergies in the home. You may have dust mites if your experiences asthma symptoms in certain rooms of your home.

Cockroaches
Cockroaches carry allergens through their saliva and feces, and children are most commonly affected. Cockroaches are extremely difficult to get rid of, so if you find signs of a cockroach infestation, call your Lake of the Ozarks pest control company.
