Problems that pests can cause - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔-Structural damage:
termites weaken structural wood in houses and other buildings, resulting in
unsafe conditions and expensive repairs. Wood destroying microorganisms
can cause the framing around a window or exterior door to rot away.
-Property damage: clothes moths can ruin materials such as clothes and
bedding that are made of natural fibers. Mice can gnaw their way into food
cabinets or reduce the effectiveness of insulation by using it as nesting
material.
-Food concerns: blackbirds will feast on traps growing in a vineyard.
Microorganisms cause plant diseases that reduce the yield and/or value of
a farmer's crop. Insect pests can feed on dried foods such as flour,
chocolate chips, or cereals in a kitchen pantry. Weeds affect our food
supply when they reduce yields by competing with crop plants for water,
sunlight, and soil nutrients.
-Health risks: mosquitoes can spread diseases such as West Nile Virus
(WNV) and Encephalitis (EEE). Houseflies contaminate food with microbes
that cause food poisoning and dysentery. Mice and rats carry microbes that
