A termite infestation can be dangerous not only to your home or property but also to your family’s health. Termites produce feces, which can induce allergic reactions on the skin, as well as molds, which can create long-term health issues. Termites will construct huge mounds that will live longer than the colony. It can be difficult to destroy a colony after it has established itself. Termites can be prevented from snacking on a person’s property using a Cape Cod Termite Solution. A preventative inspection should be scheduled once a year. The following are some termite diseases to be aware of.
Your skin can be irritated by termite granules. These wood-colored grains, often known as dung or poop, can induce contact dermatitis and allergic reactions when they come into contact with the skin. A skin reaction caused by contact with irritants is known as contact dermatitis. This rash is localized to certain parts of the skin and has clear edges. When an allergic reaction occurs, the allergen may not produce inflammation at first, but subsequent exposure causes itchiness, which leads to dermatitis. With Cape Cod Termite Solution, you can prevent this from happening.
Another side effect of a termite infestation is asthma. Termites can cause mold to grow when they eat away at timber structures. Constant exposure to this fungus might create major health problems. Mold releases spores into the air, which settle on human skin or enter our bodies through inhalation. Migraine episodes, runny noses, coughs, conjunctivitis, and persistent asthma are all caused by inhaling mold spores. Mold is extremely dangerous for youngsters, especially those with weakened immune systems because mold and spores affect their immature organisms the most. Mold can make a child unhealthy for the rest of his life if he is constantly exposed to it. If your house is having mold inside, call out the professionals of Cape Cod Termite Solution to take care of the issue.
When people who are immunocompromised or have chronic lung disease, such as lung disease, are exposed to mold, they can get a deadly infection in their lungs. Mold should be avoided by these persons, especially if it is caused by termites. According to the Institute of Medicine, there is enough data to show that indoor mold exposure causes upper respiratory symptoms such as coughing and wheezing in healthy persons. To keep your family’s health unaffected, consider hiring Cape Cod Termite Solution for effective termite treatment.
Termites can also wreak havoc on your electrical wiring. Strong jaws are found in some termites, particularly those that feed on moist wood. They utilize their sharp jaws to attack and chew on any electrical wires or cables they come across in search of more digestible cellulose, which can create short circuits in your home. One example is a termite colony nesting around a hot water system’s electrical supply cable. The insulation around the cable had been significantly degraded by termites, resulting in a serious and catastrophic breakdown. This may have resulted in an electric shock, putting the family of the owners in danger. Hence, it is wise to schedule a termite eradication treatment with Cape Cod Termite Solution to avoid such catastrophic situations.
Contact an exterminator if you suspect a termite problem. Termite treatment plans differ depending on the sort of termites you have. A pest control expert from Cape Cod Termite Solution can conduct a thorough inspection and provide a comprehensive treatment plan for you.
