HEALTH THREAT
Mouse droppings and urine can spread the Hantavirus to humans, transmit salmonella and are most widely known for spreading the bubonic plague.
PROPERTY THREAT
Mice can cause structural damage by nesting inside walls, and constantly gnawing on wiring, drywall and fabric.
Although mice are known for living in filth and nesting in condemned, dilapidated buildings, many homeowners make the mistake of thinking their homes are impervious to these enduring pests. However, rats and mice go wherever food and shelter exist. Meaning even the newest, cleanest homes are at risk for an infestation. Rats and Mice put your family at risk by getting into your food supply, then contaminating it with their waste, causing damage to property by digging and gnawing, biting people and family pets, and most dangerously of all, they transport parasites such as fleas, mites and worms, spreading disease.

- Indoors, look for greasy runways along stairs, walls and rafters
- Mouse urine will shine as bluish to yellowish white, under any type of black light.
- You may be able to hear them inside walls, squeaking, running or climbing
