Health Risks Posed by Rodents

  • Contamination: A single mouse can leave behind dozens of droppings per day. They contaminate food supplies, kitchen counters, and other surfaces as they travel through your home, posing a significant health risk.
  • Parasites: Rodents are often infested with fleas and ticks, which they can introduce into your Durham, NC home, creating a secondary pest problem and another vector for disease.

  • Damage to Insulation and Structures: They will shred insulation, vapor barriers, and paper products in attics and crawl spaces to build their nests. They can also gnaw through drywall, wood, and plastic pipes.
