Each year, food borne illnesses cost the United States over $6.9 billion in medical expenses and lost productivity. When consumers see pests in a public building, they know their health and safety have been compromised.

Flies are one of the greatest threats to food safety and one of the greatest control challenges in the property management environment. But other pests are also potential safety hazards.

Here's a brief list of the mystery pests spread:

	Ants:Staph infections, salmonellosis.
	Bees and wasps:Allergic reactions.
	Birds: Histoplasmosis, ornithosis, salmonellosis, cryptococcosis, encephalitis, toxoplasmosis, Newcastle disease.
	Cockroaches: Diarrhea, dysentery, food poisoning, gastroenteritis, pneumonia, conjunctivitis, catarrhal colitis, infectious hepatitis, anthrax, fungal diseases, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, asthma, allergic reactions.
	Fleas: Murine typhus, plague.
	Flies: Cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis, ophthalmia, polio, staph infections, E. coli food poisoning, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, typhoid fever.
	Lice: Epidemic typhus.
	Rats and mice: Dermatitis, dysentery, meningitis, Weil’s disease, plague, hantavirus, rabies, typhus, rat-bite fever, salmonellosis, babesiosis, leptospirosis, spotted fever, trichinosis.

Pest infestations are alarmingly common. They can be especially difficult to control in large restaurants that operate 24/7 and have heavy traffic.

Ineffective pest control has a high price tag:

	Damaged reputation: Ninety-six percent of consumers won’t complain to you, but will tell an average of 10 people about a pest sighting.
	Spread of disease: Pests are known vectors of dangerous pathogens, including E. coli and Salmonella.
	Destroyed merchandise: The worldwide destruction caused by rodents alone exceeds $200 billion each year, according to the USDA. Stored-product pests are also a significant problem in the retail environment.
	Lawsuits and regulatory fines: If you lease your space to retailers or food vendors, you may face potential lawsuits and regulatory action due to pest damage, infested product or pest-related illnesses.
