Rodent infestations are more than just a nuisance—they pose serious health risks to you and your family. From the diseases they carry to the damage they cause, these pests can create hazardous living conditions if not addressed promptly and professionally. At Bio-One of Rochester, we specialize in safe and thorough rodent cleanup, ensuring your property is restored to a safe and healthy state.
The Health Risks of Rodent Infestations
Rodents, such as mice and rats, are known carriers of over 35 diseases, which can be transmitted to humans directly through contact with their droppings, urine, or saliva, or indirectly via fleas, ticks, and mites[^1]. Some of the most common diseases include:
- Hantavirus: A potentially fatal respiratory disease caused by inhaling dust contaminated with rodent droppings or urine[^1].
- Salmonellosis: A bacterial infection that can result from consuming food or water contaminated by rodent feces[^2].
- Leptospirosis: A bacterial disease that can lead to kidney damage, meningitis, liver failure, and respiratory distress[^1].
These health risks highlight the importance of addressing rodent infestations promptly and effectively.
Why Professional Cleanup is Essential
While it may be tempting to handle rodent cleanup on your own, doing so can expose you to harmful pathogens. Professional cleanup services, like those offered by Bio-One of Rochester, ensure that all contaminated areas are thoroughly sanitized and disinfected. Our team uses specialized equipment and cleaning agents to eliminate biohazards, preventing the spread of disease and restoring your property to a safe condition.
The Dangers of DIY Cleanup
Attempting to clean up rodent droppings without proper training and equipment can be dangerous. Disturbing droppings or nesting materials can release harmful particles into the air, increasing the risk of inhaling pathogens like hantavirus[^3]. Additionally, improper disposal of contaminated materials can lead to further contamination.
