Spring Allergies & Pests
Hey there! Spring has finally come to beautiful Perth, followed by warmer weather and a bit of an increase in the allergies.
So lot’s of us are aware of the usual suspects: grass, pollen, mildew / molds, weeds, but did you know that there are a few culprits in your own home that could be increasing your discomfort?
Here are some of the more common culprits that may be lurking indoors:
Bed bugs
Cockroaches
Dust mites
How can bugs cause allergies?
When they die, proteins from their bodies can exist in the air, causing itchy, inflamed skin and other allergic symptoms including sneezing, coughing and itchy eyes, mouth or throat.
What other pests can cause allergic reactions in spring?
And with spring arriving we also need to watch out for biting pests such as bed bugs, fleas and ticks. Their bites can be painful, resulting in redness and swelling. Some of these biting pests can also carry diseases like Lyme Disease and Ross River Virus, so it’s best to err on the side of caution!
Here are some things to keep in mind
Seal up any cracks and openings outside your home.
Make sure basements and crawl spaces are well-ventilated and dry.
Store food in sealed containers.
Keep garbage in check and don’t let it pile up.
If you or someone in your home is allergic to stings, it’s best to avoid DIY pest control for stinging insects.
Reduce standing water outside to keep mosquitoes at bay.
Mow tall grass and weeds, especially near play areas for kids, to minimize tick encounters.
When venturing into areas with biting insects, wear protective clothing and consider using insect repellent.
