Welcome to the Livingston Pest Control Service news and occasional moments of random banter, where we’re dedicated to creating a healthier and more comfortable living environment for you and your loved ones but also share some of our pest experiences and tidbits of wisdom. In this episode, we’re delving into a topic that affects countless households: allergies caused by common pests. These tiny intruders might be much more than just a nuisance – they could be the source of your allergic reactions. Let’s explore the connection between household pests and allergies, and learn how our expert pest control services can help you regain control of your home.

The Invisible Culprits: Allergies Caused by Pests It’s a fact: your home could be harboring unwelcome guests that not only cause damage but also trigger allergies. These pests are often too small to be noticed at first glance, but their impact can be significant. Let’s take a look at some common household pests that could be causing those sneezes, watery eyes, and itchy skin:

1. Dust Mites: These microscopic creatures thrive in warm, humid environments and are a common trigger for allergies. They feed on dead skin cells and can be found in bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets.
2. Cockroaches: Roaches are known to trigger allergies and asthma attacks, particularly in children. Their saliva, droppings, and decomposing bodies can become airborne and lead to respiratory issues.
3. Rodents: Mice and rats can spread allergens through their urine, droppings, and fur. These allergens can be especially problematic when they become airborne and are inhaled.
4. Carpenter Ants and Termites: Beyond causing structural damage, these pests can also contribute to indoor air quality issues. Their nests and droppings can release particles that trigger allergies.
5. Stinging Insects: Bee, wasp, or hornet infestations pose both immediate risks and allergic reactions. For those with allergies to insect venom, a sting can lead to severe reactions requiring immediate medical attention.

Identifying Allergy Symptoms Allergy symptoms caused by pests can often mimic common cold symptoms, making it important to distinguish between the two. If you notice persistent symptoms that seem to worsen indoors or when you wake up, it might be time to consider a pest-related allergy. Common symptoms include:

• Sneezing and a runny or stuffy nose
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Coughing and wheezing
• Skin rashes or hives
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
