Some of the most dangerous pests you’ll run into are also some of the most common. Unfortunately, while there may not be a surefire way to eliminate the problems that can spread diseases or lead to severe symptoms, there are ways to fight against bites and stings, as well as the illnesses they might bring.
Learning to combat these threatening animals and insects in an SHTF scenario can help save your life. You likely won’t have as much access to the resources that would help you or your family fight the infections or illnesses they can bring. Here are some of the most important pests you should look for, whether they’re dangerous themselves or spread life-threatening diseases.
1. Flies and Mosquitoes
While flies and mosquitoes are normally just irritating, they could spread several diseases, all depending on where you are. Mosquitoes alone can carry dangerous illnesses, like the Zika virus or malaria. Unfortunately, you can never really detect which mosquito or fly is infected with bacteria or a virus, so you should take precautions no matter where you are.
