Making Sure Your Home Is Safe
Amid the thriving life of New York City lurks a danger of infestation. With so many people living and working close to one another, it’s easy for infestations to be transferred from one person to the next. Since pests can destroy parts of the home as well as furniture and belongings, it’s important to stop the infestation before it becomes out of hand. More importantly, pests can often increase certain health hazards. If you live in New York City, then you need to know about these common pests found within the city. In addition, you should have an exterminator NYC ready to handle any infestation that crops up.
Cockroaches
One unfortunate pest that has made itself home in New York City is the notorious cockroach. These guys can be quite small but can also grow to great lengths. They’re also incredibly difficult to get rid of. They typically only move around in the middle of the night, so it can be difficult to know if you have an infestation until it’s too late. Or, worse, when you’re walking out to the kitchen in the middle of the night to grab a snack and turn on the light only to find several six-legged creeps scuttling across the counter. While you should seal up any gaps that might allow them entry, you need to call an exterminator to properly deal with these pests.
Bed Bugs
Another notorious pest on New York City are bed bugs. While they do not carry any diseases typically, they do feed on human blood. While you’re sleeping soundly in your bed, they bite your skin and suck your blood to feed themselves. Disgusting, right? These bugs are also difficult to kill, so you need an experienced exterminator to do the job right the first time. You can usually spot them in your bed and by noticing the bite marks on your skin. Quick action is necessary.
