A pest infestation is not just a stressful problem to solve, it can also be a health risk to humans and pets. Many common pests carry dangerous bacteria and pathogens, and can even transmit diseases to humans. Cockroaches, rats, and mice are the most common culprits in this category. They can transmit diseases both indirectly and directly, and have caused outbreaks of harmful illnesses like salmonellosis, hantavirus, and plague. However, any food or drink with even one pest in it is immediately contaminated, and should be thrown out. Ants and pantry pests are notorious for taking our food as their own, and they are small enough that they can stay hidden in food for a long time. 

This is not even taking into account the types of biting insects that commonly plague Collinsville homes and yards. Mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks all feast on warm blood, which means they are a threat to both us and our pets. These pests can also transmit dangerous diseases, like Lyme disease and malaria.
