Most Feared Pests

Most pests can be prevented from entering your living areas, and if they do find their way in, they can quickly be exterminated with the help of professionals like our team here at Pest-End. Read on to explore the reasoning behind why people fear these pests so much. Mosquitoes - Believe it or not, mosquitoes are a highly feared pest in many regions of the world. Sure, they are annoying buzzing around, but what makes them so dangerous that they are feared world-wide? Mosquitoes earn the title of most dangerous and deadly pest on earth, not only for their annoying, itchy bites, but the transmittance of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and zika virus. The World Health Organization reports that a child dies from malaria every 30 seconds. Mosquitoes are believed to cause around 1 million deaths a year. Rodents - Mice and rats have long been a most feared pest. No one likes to find one of these long-tailed, dirty creatures scurrying around their home. Both mice and rats are known to carry diseases in their fur, skin, saliva, and excrement. In addition, a scratch or a bite from a rat can lead to a fever or diseases in both humans and animals. These are not just pests to be squeamish about but also to fear. Bees - With more and more Americans proving to be fatally allergic to bee stings, it makes sense that they are a feared pest. Some bees like hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets tend to be more aggressive than others like carpenter bees and honey bees.
