Mice and Rodents
Why use Pest Repellers

• Are Mice Really All That BadIn short yes. In
  addition to the mess they make and the dirt they
  leave behind mice carry diseases like
  hantavirus. They can also carry fleas which carry
  disease (like plague) and they can cause
  allergic reactions in some people. Mice are also
  prolific breeders so what starts as a small
  problem can quickly become an out of control
  situation.

What about roaches
Why use Pest Repellers

• Cockroaches may become pests in homes
  restaurants hospitals warehouses offices and
  virtually any structure that has food preparation
  or storage areas. They contaminate food and
  eating utensils destroy fabric and paper
  products and impart stains and unpleasant odors
  to surfaces they contact.
• Cockroaches (especially the American cockroach
  which comes into contact with human excrement in
  sewers or with pet droppings) may transmit
  bacteria that cause food poisoning (Salmonella
  spp. and Shigella spp.). German cockroaches are
  believed to be capable of transmitting
  disease-causing organisms such as Staphylococcus
  spp. Streptococcus spp. hepatitis virus and
  coliform bacteria. They also have been implicated
  in the spread of typhoid and dysentery. Some
  people especially those with asthma are
  sensitive to the allergens produced by these
  cockroaches. However a major concern with
  cockroaches is that people are repulsed when they
  find cockroaches in their homes and kitchens.

Roaches and Childhood Asthma
Why use Pest Repellers

• Cockroaches are the peskiest pests for kids with
  asthma says the study by Web MD. Keeping your
  home clean and clear of roaches can help no
  matter where you live.
• These data confirm that cockroach allergen is
  the primary contributor to childhood asthma in
  inner-city home environments says Kenneth
  Olden PhD in a news release. Olden directs the
  National Institute of Environmental Health
  Sciences (NIEHS).
