Good morning!
Pest control is the regulation and management of species that are
considered as pests. Some of these pests include cockroaches, flies, and
rodents. These pests are perceived or pose great risks to human health
and the environment because they carry disease. For example,
cockroaches are carriers of microorganisms that cause diseases as well
as allergic reactions. Rodents can transmit diseases such as
leptospirosis and rat-bite fever. A clean community is the first and
foremost defense against pests.
