News You Can Use to Stop The Rodent Invasion

FORECAST: SEVERE RODENT ALERT!

Prime Time for Rodents: 21-million homes projected to be invaded this season.

It’s a challenge to stay healthy especially with the prevalence of the flu and common colds. Unfortunately, something most people don’t think about this time of year is the threat posed by rodents to both our health and property. Rodents invade an estimated 21 million homes in the U.S. every year, and an infestation can cause more than just a headache for homeowners. Rodents such as mice and rats search for food, warmth and shelter indoors, often entering homes through small cracks and crevices. However, the real concern is that these pests can spread diseases and cause serious property damage once inside.

RODENTS SPREAD UP TO 26 KNOWN DISEASES

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the accumulation of feces from mice and rats can spread up to 26 known diseases, contaminate food sources and trigger allergic reactions in humans. Once the fecal matter becomes dry, it can be hazardous to those who breathe it in. Moreover, rodent droppings can spread diseases and viruses, including

Hantavirus–a potentially life-threatening disease transmitted to humans by rodents. People become infected through exposure or inhalation of infected rodent urine, droppings or saliva, and the chances increase when people are near spaces where rodents are actively living.

Bubonic Plague– Also known as the “Black Death”, the Plague is a highly contagious and often deadly disease notorious for killing one-third of the European population during the Middle Ages. Plague is usually spread by the bite of an infected rodent flea and can cause fever, headache and painfully swollen lymph nodes.
