We all know that there are people that are afraid of flying in a plane, sharks in the ocean and yes of course spiders. Have you ever wondered what has happened to make people fear these types of things. Maybe they have seen a plane crash on television or a documentary on sharks has sent them reeling. When it comes to spiders there is a phobia that has become very mainstream. The fear has then attributed to blockbuster hits and shows that use this fear to frighten the viewers. What makes a spider something that people fear? What makes people fear other pests and bugs? If you have been attacked by some sort of pest you may have a new found fear of them but why are they such a widespread problem. A-Tex Pest Management lists some of the reasons why some people are scared of pests.
Some Pests Can Be Dangerous
The first reason that many people have a fear of pests is that they are actually a danger to you and your family. There are some such a termite that can eat away at the wood that is supporting your home. This can be a dangerous situation if it is left untreated. Another pest that can be a danger to you are cockroaches. If you have an allergy and get stung by a bee or a wasp you can have a reaction that can be life threatening. This is a good reason to have some fear of pests. They are able to cause trouble and health concerns as well.
Many Pests are Gross
The next reason that some people are fearful of pests is because they are just plain gross. So what makes a pest gross. When it comes to rats and mice they actually carry around with them disease that can be contracted by you. All it takes is for you to come across their feces or urine that is left behind. You can also come in contact with bacteria that is left behind when cockroaches, mice and pantry pests scurry across your counter. They are leaving a trail behind and as they walk on unclean surfaces they can end up spreading it around. This can end up making you sick. They are some that really have no boundaries such as ants. They don’t even care that you are standing there looking at them. They will continue to collect food off your counter. If you start to smoosh them you have their corpse all over your counters.
Pests Come in Hoards
When it comes to pests it seems that they are never lonely. They always travel in groups and some of them can reach infestations in the thousands. When there are thousands or even hundreds of something it can be unnerving. This feeling of uneasiness that they are all around and could come out of just about anywhere is enough to cause some fear in people.
