Kill Bugs and the Germs* They Leave Behind
Research Triangle Park, N.C. — Insects need food, warmth and shelter to survive – that’s why they’ll do whatever it takes to get into your home. You’ll frequently find them in the cracks and crevices of kitchens and bathrooms. Even the best housekeepers can get infestations behind baseboards and under sinks, stoves and refrigerators. And every time bugs crawl out of their nesting places, they carry their germs back into your living and eating spaces.
- Most insects feed on anything organic – food scraps, crumbs, grease, garbage, wool, even human hair. They often pick up germs on their legs and bodies and transfer them by crawling on your countertops, clean dishes and silverware.
- Roaches can carry up to 50 known pathogens, including pneumonia, food poisoning, salmonella, E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus – the most common cause of staph infections.
- Getting rid of the pests you see doesn’t eliminate underlying problems. For really effective control, you’ve got to do double duty. That means killing the bugs, and killing the germs they leave behind.
“When insects die, they may leave millions of germs behind,” says Bayer Advanced entomologist, Ken Kukorowski, Ph.D. “When you lessen the population of the bugs, you also have to reduce the population of germs.”
