Rodents (such as mice, rats. chipmunks and squirrels) can enter a home through almost any opening or crack. It is important to inspect for rodent droppings, especially in undisturbed areas such as pantries, under baseboards, in attics and along walls .

 

Rodent droppings most often cause allergic reactions in human beings but can also cause disease, including the potentially deadly Hantavirus. More frequently, though, rodents serve as vectors, carrying bacteria, such as salmonella, on their bodies and contaminating food sources, kitchen surfaces and equipment.

Rodents can decrease the quality of the air that habitants breathe by urinating and defecating throughout structures. Also, they cause major damage to property and food when chewing wires, containers, water pipes, and air ducts just to mention a few.
