Protecting Your Home from Rodent-Borne Diseases

Rodents may seem like a nuisance, but they are more than just pesky invaders. Mice and rats carry numerous infectious diseases that can pose serious health risks to humans. Leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), rat bite fever, and gastrointestinal infections like salmonellosis are just a few of the threats caused by exposure to rodent droppings, urine, and saliva. Understanding these dangers and taking preventive measures is essential to safeguarding your health and home.

At BioCare, we specialize in comprehensive biohazard cleanup services, including rodent infestation remediation, ensuring your property is not only free from pests but also from the bacteria and viruses they leave behind. Here’s how our services can help protect you and your family.

Disease Prevention and Risk Reduction
Rodents can transmit diseases through direct contact or by contaminating surfaces and food preparation areas. Leptospirosis, for instance, is caused by bacteria found in rodent urine, and it can enter the body through cuts or abrasions. LCMV, another serious illness, can be transmitted via rodent urine or saliva, posing a risk to pregnant women in particular. Rat bite fever, contracted from rodent bites or exposure to contaminated food or water, can lead to complications like sepsis if not treated promptly.
BioCare’s expert team is trained to identify and eliminate potential exposure sites. We clean, disinfect, and decontaminate any areas affected by rodent activity, using industrial-grade solutions that are effective against harmful bacteria and viruses. Whether it’s your kitchen, living room, or attic, we ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly disinfected to reduce the risk of these dangerous diseases.Implementing proactive measures for rodent-borne diseases prevention is essential to safeguarding your home and family's health.

In addition, when mouse carcasses are present, we take extra precautions to safely remove them. We wear protective clothing and gloves to minimize risk and ensure all carcass handling is done in a manner that protects both our team and your household. Pregnant or immunocompromised individuals are especially vulnerable, and we always take extra care in these cases.
