When we think of indoor air quality, we often consider dust, allergens or maybe mould. What many people do not think about are the pests that could be in their homes that can also affect the air indoors. That is right: cockroaches, rodents and even termites can affect the air quality in your home. At PCCS India, we would like you to understand that pest control is more than just getting rid of uninvited guests; it is about making a healthier place for your family.
How do Pests Contribute to Indoor Air Quality
Pests cannot only hide out in those dark corners of your home, but they also leave droppings, skin and even saliva. These little particles can be suspended in the air you breathe and are troublesome when considering allergies, asthma and respiratory issues. Here are just a few examples:
- Cockroaches: Their body parts and droppings can become airborne and trigger symptoms of asthma.
- Rodents: urine and droppings can contaminate the surface as well as the air.
- Termites are not as obvious, but they can cause mould to develop, which affects the air quality.
Why is Pest Control Important
Having pests in your home decreases cleanliness and increases airborne pollutants every time you breathe. Here are some of the ways that regular pest control for your home is important for the quality of indoor air:
- Prevents allergen buildup
- Reduces transfer of bacteria and disease
- Stops mould from developing because pests like mould, too!
- Improves airflow because pest control will keep ducts clean of pests and debris
At PCCS India, we use eco-friendly and safe pest control to eradicate and protect pests in the indoor space.
Common Question And Answer
Q: Is it possible for pests to make the air quality in my home unhealthy?
A: Yes! Many people are shocked to learn that pests like roaches, mice, and rats can release particles that can trigger allergies or asthma in the air. The droppings, excrement, and shed skins can fly in the air. It will cause issues for people with pre-existing respiratory conditions or, worse, children.
Q: How often should I book pest control in order to maintain indoor air quality?
A: Professional pest control every 3 to 6 months is recommended but will vary based on your area, lifestyle, the integrity of your home structure, and whether you have pets and kids.
