Are Mice Dangerous?

You might be surprised to know that despite their tiny size, they can stir up quite a bit of chaos in your home or business. These little guys can wreak havoc on your property and, more worryingly, pose some serious health risks to you, your family, and your furry friends.

A rodent problem can cause a plethora of issues. Two of the many reasons why it’s important to implement rodent prevention and control during the pandemic include:

1. Rats and mice are bold and rampant in the absence of food sources, leading to more infestations and rodent-related problems.
2. Some rats and mice can spread other diseases, including hantavirus, salmonellosis, and plague. They can also indirectly transmit diseases from ticks, mosquitoes, lice, and fleas, including Colorado tick fever and Lyme disease.

Do Rats or Mice Bite?

Yes, rats and mice can bite — especially when they’re backed into a corner or feeling scared. While these bites don’t seem harmful, they can sometimes lead to more serious issues. It’s not just the pain you have to worry about, these bites can also spread diseases to humans.

Take the deer mouse, for example. These little critters are known to carry the Hantavirus, a pretty nasty bug that humans can catch through bites. And there are other mice out there that might give you rat-bite fever, another serious condition you don’t want to mess with.

Damage Rodents Cause

Rats and mice are one of the worst pest infestations because of the mess they can create inside your home or business. Nests can be made out of any material rats and mice get their paws on, meaning they’ll shred through a number of things on your property at will. 

Perhaps the most dangerous thing about rats is their tendency to chew. With incisors that never stop growing, rats never stop chewing! This can lead to damaged electrical wires, which can in turn cause a fire hazard. 

Bottom line: rodents create a hazardous environment, which is why it’s important to team up with a professional rodent exterminator.
