You wouldn’t want to see a co*ckroach crawling over your food at a restaurant, but did you know that a fly would leave even more germs behind? Flies actually spread a higher number of germs than co*ckroaches, yet restaurant patrons aren’t bothered by them as much.
co*ckroaches vs. Flies
When it comes to germs, both of these pests carry plenty around. However, flies tend to have twice as many germs as co*ckroaches, which makes them an even bigger health hazard at dining establishments. co*ckroaches have a worse reputation among restaurant patrons, though. In fact, a recent survey shows that 61 percent of patrons would keep eating restaurant food after a fly landed on it.
Pests and Pathogens
Flies carry a number of pathogens that can make people very ill, including salmonella, E.Coli, staphylococcus and shigella. These germs can cause illnesses and infections that result in serious complications. Keep this in mind if you have flies inside your home. While you can keep some out by cleaning up crumbs and keeping food tightly sealed, you might need professional pest control in Monmouth County to get rid of fly infestations, so that you and your family won’t become ill.
