Dublin’s Pest Control Challenges
Dublin is one of the world’s most beautiful and culturally rich cities. It’s also one of the most urbanized cities, leading to pest infestations and rodent problems. Therefore, pest controllers are on the front line daily, fighting against pest populations, and helping property owners avoid damage and health issues associated with rodent infestations.
Pest control is challenging, requiring skill and prior knowledge of pests. Here, at Owl Pest Control Dublin, professionals are always ready to face challenges and fix pest problems for property investors and homeowners.
Why Should We Fight Pest Infestations?
Rats and mice are two common species of rodents that inhabit most parts of the urban world. In Dublin, the most common species are the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) and house mouse (Mus musculus). These pests are not mere insects and rodents; rather, they act as carriers of diseases, pollute food products, and wreck properties. These pests are predominant in cities since such places host numerous individuals, well-developed sewerage systems, and easily accessible food.
Rodent menace and other pests remain a major problem affecting both the urban and the rural populace globally.
When it comes to battling rodents, insects, or other invasive species, the need for such control and prevention cannot be overemphasized. The significance of combating pest infestations cannot be overemphasized as they affect health, safety, the economy, and even the environment in quite several ways.
One of the best justifications to eliminate pest invasions is the preservation of the human health of the public. Some of the common pests include rodents, mosquitoes, and ticks which act as carriers of diseases that may affect human beings.
● Rodents can carry diseases like leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonellosis.
● Flies are known vectors for more than 130 human pathogens including bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses.
● Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.
These diseases can lead to serious complications for humans and in some cases can be fatal. Homeowners must take essential measures to fight against pest infestations to avoid these health issues.
Pest infestations can also lead to serious property maintenance problems. For instance, mice and rats can easily make holes in walls, damage sewage and pipes, and scratch and bite furniture.
