Rodent infestations are a common problem. The pesky critters are numerous and can be found in a variety of different habitats. Rodents can often carry diseases, but there are several ways that a trained pest control company can quickly and efficiently remove the infestation from businesses, homes and property.
Rodents can be a danger to humans. The creatures can carry parasites, such as ticks and mites, and these parasites can carry many different diseases. A rodent’s urine and droppings can also pose a danger to humans. Mice and rats in North America carry several different viruses that can be transmitted to humans, such as Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome and Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis. Rodents can also transmit bacterial infections, such as Leptospirosis and Rat-Bite Fever.
Rodents often reproduce quickly, and this can lead to an infestation that rapidly spreads throughout your home. Once a rodent infestation takes hold in a person’s home or business, the rodents will usually remain and spread their urine and droppings. Pest control companies are experienced with rodent infestations and have developed methods to quickly and efficiently remove the rodents. Once a pest control company has identified an infestation, they will usually undertake an “exclusion” process that seals a building’s entry points, ensuring that no new rodents can enter. When the exclusion process has finished, a pest control company will identify the fastest and most economical treatment plan available and carry out the plan. Most pest control companies also offer optional services, such as cleaning and disinfecting.
Rodent infestations are extremely common, and the small animals often carry diseases that can be dangerous to humans. Luckily, pest control companies are very experienced with rodent elimination.
