The dangers of ant infestations
At one time or another, your home will likely be infested by ants and when they do, it is advisable that you contact an expert immediately. Time is of the essence, as ants multiply very fast. Some of the problems that ants bring along are:
- Some species of ants will bite! You may get rashes, welts and some itching. Some ant bites can be very painful, especially to children.
- Other ants such as Carpenter Ants will destroy your wooden furniture when they burrow in your furniture.
- Some ants will attack your electronic devices causing electronic wires to short circuit.
Ants are not widely known for causing health problems to humans. However, you should be aware that these insects do scavenge on fresh and decaying food. They are therefore likely to move from the rubbish bin into your jar of honey in search of food. This can easily make it possible for them to transport diseases around your home.
