Health Risks of Common Pests
Common household pests—including mice, rats, squirrels, raccoons, and bats—pose more than just nuisance problems; they can carry serious health risks. These animals may spread diseases like hantavirus, leptospirosis, and rabies through bites, droppings, or contaminated surfaces. Their presence can also trigger allergies and worsen respiratory issues due to airborne particles from nesting materials or waste. Safely removing pests requires identifying entry points, cleaning contaminated areas properly, and using professional wildlife control services when necessary to prevent reinfestation and protect your family’s health.
