Rodent Habitats & Harborage
Mice and rats are experts at finding shelter, especially in human-made structures. These rodents thrive in dark, hidden spaces and can make their homes in attics, crawl spaces, basements, and even within wall voids. Outdoors, they are drawn to areas with dense ground cover, brushy hedges, and woodpiles. Roof rats, in particular, are notorious climbers often entering homes through trees touching rooftops, making attics a preferred nesting site. Norway rats, on the other hand, are burrowers, frequently found in basements, sewer systems, and other damp, dark areas.
Blocking access to these harborage areas is essential for rodent management. At Dang Pest Control, our trained technicians specialize in identifying and sealing entry points, ensuring rodents no longer have easy access to your property.
Health Risks Related to Mice & Rats
Rodents pose the possibility of severe health threats to humans, often transmitting dangerous diseases. Here are some of the most critical health risks associated with rodents:
Hantavirus: Spread through contact with droppings or urine, this disease can lead to severe respiratory issues and even death.
Leptospirosis: This bacterial infection is transmitted through rat urine and causes symptoms like fever and muscle aches.
Salmonellosis: Caused by exposure to rodent feces, this bacterial infection results in severe diarrhea and abdominal cramps.
Rat-bite Fever: Passed through bites or scratches, this infection leads to fever, joint pain, and chills.
Additionally, rodent allergens such as droppings and urine can aggravate allergies and asthma, posing risks to children and those with respiratory conditions.
