When rodents invade, they can pose a danger to both people and their property and have the potential to transmit a wide variety of diseases and bacteria to humans. In fact, rodents are responsible for spreading Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM), salmonellosis, dysentery, Hantavirus, and leptospirosis. When they find their way into homes and businesses, mice and rats can contaminate the food items and the surfaces inside with trails of urine and feces.
Another danger rodents pose when they invade properties is structural damage. Due to their constant chewing habits, rodents damage pipes, wires, insulation, flooring, and drywall throughout homes. In addition, they may also destroy personal items such as books, clothing, shoes, pictures, furniture, and other items.
