1. Ticks

These pests are usually found on various pets and animals. These pests are small in size and they are hidden in the fur of these animals. Dogs, rats etc. are common transmitters of ticks. These ticks have the capacity of jumping from these animals onto humans which can prove disastrous. That is the reason why most of the pets are not allowed to make contact with people and especially small children. Tick bites from infected rodents can cause Lyme disease which can prove fatal.

2. Flies

Flies also cause spread of many diseases. There is a constant need for keeping the flies in control if you need to reduce the probability of a foreseen epidemic. Flies can have potential viruses strapped on to them that can cause Hepatitis, E. Coli, tapeworm or staph when they come in contact with humans.

3. Mosquitoes

These are one of the most common forms of pests. These pests are found thriving in swamps as well as in wet garbage. You can avoid breeding of mosquitoes by keeping your neighborhood clean and dry as well as segregating your waste. Mosquitoes can spread various viruses like West Nile Virus, Eastern Seacoast as well as Eastern Encephalitis which are all caused due to mosquito bites.

4. Rodents

Rats and mice also play a huge part in transmitting various diseases. Rats and mice flourish in areas that have very bad hygiene. They also have a high multiplicity rate. Outbreaks of epidemics are mostly caused by rats. Let us take a look at the diseases caused by rats:
