(HealthNewsDigest.com)-Insects need food, warmth and shelter to survive--that’s why they’ll do whatever it takes to get into your home. You’ll frequently find them in the cracks and crevices of kitchens and bathrooms. Even the best housekeepers can get infestations behind baseboards and under sinks, stoves and refrigerators. And every time bugs crawl out of their nesting places, they carry their germs back into your living and eating spaces.

• Most insects feed on anything organic--food scraps, crumbs, grease, garbage, wool, even human hair. They often pick up germs on their legs and bodies and transfer them by crawling on your countertops, clean dishes and silverware.

• Roaches can carry up to 50 known pathogens, including pneumonia, food poisoning, salmonella, E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus--the most common cause of staph infections.

• Getting rid of the pests you see doesn’t eliminate underlying problems. For really effective control, you’ve got to do double duty. That means killing the bugs, and killing the germs they leave behind.

“When insects die, they may leave millions of germs behind,” says Bayer Advanced™ entomologist Ken Kukorowski, Ph.D. “When you lessen the population of the bugs, you also have to reduce the population of germs.”

Now you can kill bugs and many of the germs they leave behind in one easy step, with Bayer Advanced Home Pest Plus Germ Killer. This breakthrough dual-action formula kills up to 60 different household pests in seconds, and keeps them out for up to 12 months. It also reduces 99 percent of the germs they may carry, including Staphylococcus aureus, the most common cause of staph infections. Available in three sizes, it’s the only nonaerosol liquid ready-to-use home pest killer that kills both bugs and germs.

You can learn more by visiting www.bayeradvanced.com or by calling (877) BAYERAG. Always read and follow label instructions.

Every time bugs crawl out of their nesting places, they carry their germs back into your living and eating spaces.
