The Mouse: A Disease-Carrying Pest?
Â
If you have ever had a mouse in your home, you know how much of a nuisance they can be. Not only are they pesky little creatures that are difficult to catch, but they also carry diseases that can be harmful to humans. In fact, mice are known to carry over 30 different diseases that can be transmitted to humans through direct contact or indirectly through fleas and ticks.
Some of these diseases include salmonellosis, hantavirus, leptospirosis, and plague. Here we will take a closer look at some of the diseases that mice carry and how you can protect yourself from them.

What Is Attic Insulation?
Attic insulation is a type of home improvement solution that helps protect your home and reduce energy costs. It works by trapping hot or cold air in the attic, making it easier for you to maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home.
Insulation can also help prevent insects and pests from gaining entry into your attic space, as many pest control companies offer insulation services along with their traditional services.
What Are The Health Concerns Of Rodent Infestation?
A rodent problem can cause property damage, contaminate food sources, spread disease via their droppings and urine, introduce other pests into your home or business environment, and even threaten the structural integrity of buildings by building nests in walls or under floors.Â
Rodent control services should be sought out immediately after signs of any activity are noticed in order to prevent further risks posed by this type of pest.
How To Make Crawl Space Rodent Proof?
To make your crawl space rodent-proof, the best option is to hire a rodent control service or a pest control expert. They will be able to inspect your home to determine the level of infestation and then set up mouse traps and bait stations in strategic locations around your property.Â
