Rodent infestations are especially concerning during the winter months as they will look for warm places to hide from the winter temperatures – such as your home. According to the National Pest Management Association, rodents invade roughly 21 million homes just in the United States every year. They are capable of squeezing into spaces that are the size of a nickel.

The droppings of a rodent trigger hay fever allergies and transmit a number of food borne illnesses such as salmonella. Mice drop as many as 25,000 fecal pellets every year which works out to be roughly 70 droppings per day. If you have a rodent infestation, prompt pest control in NJ is vital for the sake of your entire household’s health and well-being.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis, Hantavirus, tularemia, and the plague are four of the most common diseases associated with and transmitted by rats and mice. Having an infestation of them puts you, your entire family, and even your pets at risk of all these diseases. Some of the viruses rats and mice carry are deadly and have no cure. Hantavirus, for example, has no cure and a mortality rate of nearly 40 percent. Experts agree the key to preventing this disease is not getting an infestation in the first place.

Keep your house clean, your floors swept, and your food containers sealed. If you don’t mind cats, one or two felines in the home is another great way to deter rodents from getting comfortable in your home.
