Blood Sucking Insects and Bugs
Blood sucking insects are a bane on humans. They are our tormentors and most can transmit diseases. That tiny little mosquito is actually the most dangerous creature on the planet. They are responsible for over a million deaths per year. Mostly from spreading Malaria, but thankfully, the US has almost eradicated that disease here, so we just have to endure those tiny, itching little welts they leave on us after they have a cool refreshing drink of our blood. It’s actually only the Female mosquitoes that are after our blood. They utilize the protein in our blood to feed their young. But these are not the only tiny creatures out for our blood. Fleas, ticks, bed bugs and flies all want a little taste.
It is estimated there are over 10 million species of insects and of those, only about 14,000 feed on blood. Even fewer will actually feed on human blood. But those few human blood suckers are some of more prolific insects on the planet. Or at least it seems like that if you live in Texas. For some reason, Texas seems to have our unfair share of mosquitoes, flies, fleas and ticks.
There are so many of these tiny little blood suckers that it is impossible to eradicate them from our planet, but at least we can get rid of most of them from our home. Most bug sprays we use to put on our bodies are only good for about 90 minutes, so we still have to endure them when we leave the sanctity of our homes, but with the help of a professional exterminator, we can at least make them scarce around and in our home.
