Though, pests are a great nuisance to deal with, but still we often overlook or dismiss them without knowing much about them. This gives birth to numerous pest myths that provide false information. Hamilton animal control company has debunked some of the myths associated with the pests. The Hamilton exterminators advise people to collect reliable information about these pests to keep themselves and their properties protected against these little beasts.

~Daddy longlegs are poisonous

Many people are of the notion that daddy long leg spiders are poisonous and they cannot cause any harm to humans as their small fangs are unable to penetrate our skin. In reality, these spiders aren’t poisonous at all. Since they have a different body shape and only one pair of eyes, they aren’t even considered spiders.

~Carpenter ants eat wood

Carpenter ants don’t eat wood rather they just tunnel through it, leaving wood debris around the nest. They generally prefer dead and damp wood.

~You’ll die from a black widow spider bite

It is true that black widow spider bites are venomous and their poison can lead to muscle cramps, fever, nausea, headache, and restlessness. However, if you are given professional care, there are very fewer chances that you’ll die. Though, it does happen, but generally too small children or elders.

~Cheese is the best way to attract a mouse If you are planning to catch a mouse, you might be using cheese as a bait to attract the mouse. While, it’s true that a mouse likes cheese, but there are many other food items that they like even more, including peanut butter, bacon, raisins and sugary cereals etc.

~Bed bugs are found in dirty homes/hotels

Bed bugs have nothing to do with a dirty house. They feed on human blood, rather than dust or trash. They can be found anywhere. Bed bugs hide in a variety of places, such as mattresses, box springs, and folded areas.

~Bees die after they sting you

People have a notion that bees generally die after they sting humans. Though this notion isn’t entirely false, however, most of the bees and wasps don’t die after they sting. The only honeybee dies when it stings someone. Reason being, they leave their stingers and part of their abdomen behind and this breakage to their system lead to their death.
