MANDEVILLE, La. - GeorgiaChron -- J&J Exterminating, Louisiana's largest independently-owned pest control company, is sending a reminder to  Mandeville families: the pests sharing your home can carry pathogens that can pose health concerns for your family. Mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus, rodents spreading salmonella, cockroaches triggering asthma and allergies, and bed bugs causing skin irritations are just some of the very real health concerns lurking inside and around Mandeville homes. These are not minor inconveniences — they are documented public health hazards, often underestimated until a health related event occurs.

Rodents contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria linked to Salmonella , while cockroaches shed allergens that trigger asthma attacks and respiratory distress, particularly in young children. Mosquitoes are active carriers of West Nile and other serious viruses, turning backyard gatherings into potential health hazards.  Ticks have the capacity to transmit Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Alpha-gal syndrome and other illnesses that can have lasting effects Bed bugs, though not known to spread disease, can cause painful skin reactions, sleep disruption, and significant psychological stress — and they spread fast. Each of these pests can present adverse effects to the health and well-being of Mandeville families, and none of them should be ignored.

"When it comes to your family's health, it's never worth the risk. A mosquito in a Mandeville backyard is the same insect that carries West Nile virus, and Louisiana health officials have already confirmed the virus is circulating this season. Cockroaches are one of the most documented indoor triggers of childhood asthma, and rodents don't just leave droppings — they contaminate kitchens with bacteria linked to Salmonella. After more than 65 years protecting families on the Northshore, our position is simple: if a pest can make someone in the house sick, it needs to be treated now, not watched and hoped away." Exclaimed Robert John III, COO of J&J Exterminating.
