House Spiders All Around

OH the dreaded "House Spider." You see them and scream in fear and distress but really, they are not going to hurt you. They would rather be left alone actually. However, the Brown Recluse (not in the photo above) is actually pretty dangerous and lives in cool, damp and dark spaces within the home. The Brown Recluse usually only attacks if threatened.

House Spiders, on the other hand, aren't that big of a deal. However, it is Fall and you are prone to see more spiders around the house than usual, especially if you live in wooded areas or on farms.

If you are in the Northwestern Indiana or Chicago land region, call Allied Services. WE can help!

Cockroaches...Can Be Hazardous to Health and Mind

Cockroaches are annoying, of course. But did you know, they are also known for carrying multiple diseases?

American roaches have been reported to spread at least 33 kinds of bacteria as well as six kinds of parasitic worms and at least seven other kinds of human pathogens. They can pick up germs on the spines of their legs and bodies as they crawl through decaying matter or sewage and then carry these into food or onto food surfaces in your home.

Recent studies have shown that cockroach allergens cause allergies and exacerbate asthma attacks, especially in children and those living in metro-city areas such as large cities and those metro areas surrounding the cities. As with other species of roaches, American cockroaches can pose a threat to individuals with allergies and ashthma.

Not only are cockroaches an annoying and gross pest to have in your home, they can also cause illness in you and your children. If you suffer from this specific pest, call your local, licensed pest control professional.
