Title: Rodent Control
1Rodent Control
2Norway Rats are supposed to carry some diseases,
including Weil's disease, cryptosporidiosis,
Viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF), Q fever and
hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Unlike the Black
Rat, Norway Rats rarely if ever carry bubonic
plague.
The Brown Rat or Norway Rat is one of the
best-known and common rats, and also one of the
largest.
3The best known mouse species is the common house
mouse. It is found in nearly all countries.
Light brown or light grey in color, the house
mouse is small and slender with large ears and
small eyes.
Mice can be harmful pests, damaging and eating
crops and spreading diseases through their
parasites and feces.
4The Field Mouse is a cousin to the rat and the
two share certain attributes. Field Mice do not
share the large front teeth of rats and their
claws are much smaller.
Field Mice are scavengers. They will eat anything
they think they can. They occasionally dig
through homes at the scent of food and stay there
for the shelter inside the walls.
5Waiting is a Bad Idea
- Rodents leave lots of droppings everywhere.
Sometimes thousands. - Rodents chew on wires, cables and all sorts of
material. - Rodents leave urine and urine stains where they
travel. - Rodents contaminate and matt down insulation.
- Rodents leave greasy dark rub marks where they
travel with scents to attract more rodents. - Rodents chew entry holes, many times out of
sight.
6Inspections Are Important
- A full inspection is the first step
- to a good rodent service.
