Atlanta Pest Control Company, Team Pest, Discusses 21 Confirmed Cases of West Nile in Georgia

    NORCROSS, GA, July 26, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Atlanta pest control business, Team Pest USA, wants to address the number of victims that have been infected with West Nile Virus in the state of Georgia. There have been 21 confirmed cases this year alone, with the potential for many more. The Atlanta pest control firm says this time of year is the prime mosquito season and that people everywhere are noticing increased swarms. Far from just being nuisances that can leave you itching, these pests are notorious for carrying the fatal disease West Nile. In all their years of providing commercial pest control in Atlanta, the company says they have never seen the situation so bad.

Experts note the number of cases is higher than it has been in over a decade, and with two fatalities so far, the situation has become a serious medical emergency. While not every mosquito is a carrier of the virus, the Atlanta pest control business says residents should not be taking any chances. The threat is real and could be in your backyard; by not spraying your property and wearing repellent when outdoors, you are putting yourself into harm's way. According to Brandon Pelfrey, Owner of the Atlanta wildlife removal company, "West Nile is not something to mess around with. While the survival rate is high for victims suffering from mild strains, fatalities are not uncommon. Wearing repellent and keeping away from areas with standing water is essential." The symptoms of West Nile are similar to the flu, and include stomach pain, diarrhea, fever, headache, and vomiting. If you have experienced any of these, get to your doctor immediately.
