Have Mice Invaded Your Danbury, CT Home or Business?

8/23/2016 (Permalink)

Mice may carry bacteria, viruses and other diseases. As a result, cleaning efforts following an infestation must be cautiously attempted. It is important not to disturb dust particles or rodent feces in affected areas. Nest materials should also be left undisturbed during this time. Sweeping or vacuuming these materials may lead to the further release of harmful airborne particles.

Deer mice are the primary transmitters of hantavirus, although other rodents such as white-footed mice, cotton rats, and rice rats may also be carriers. This virus can be fatal and is found within the deer mouse’s feces, urine and saliva. Hantavirus is transmitted to humans through airborne particles, and symptoms are similar to those of the common flu. However, individuals with this virus must seek medical attention immediately upon recognition

If you have a rodent problem contact our exterminator immediately, and once the problem has been rectified the trained technicians at SERVPRO of Danbury/Ridgefield can perform all the proper cleaning and disinfecting required to bring your home or business to a safe environment.
