Rodent Elimination: Health Risks, Prevention, and Professional Solutions

Rodents (rats, mice, squirrels) top the “yuck” factor and pose serious health and safety threats.

Risks

• Food contamination (urine, feces).
• Chewed wiring → fire hazard.
• Fleas/ticks → secondary infestations.
• Bites and airborne fecal particles → asthma.
• Rapid reproduction (female rat: 80+ offspring/lifetime).

Professional Process

1. Thorough inspection: droppings, gnaw marks, entry points in attic, crawlspace, exterior.
2. Species‑specific removal: trapping (green, safe for pets/kids) or baiting.
3. Exclusion: seal cracks, screen vents, trim tree limbs.
4. Cultural controls: food storage, sanitation, yard maintenance.
