Pest Cleanup Services | Steri-Clean® Nebraska

Pests and insects can cause substantial damage to a property. Not only can they cause structural damage, but they can also affect human health. Sometimes it’s not even the pest itself, but the animal’s waste or diseases they carry that causes harm.

 

Rodents and Other Pests

There are numerous rodents and pests that carry infectious diseases which are dangerous to humans. Types of pests include mice, rats, pigeons, bats, and different types of insects. In many cases, to fall ill, you don’t even need to come into direct contact with the  pest itself, you simply just have to be exposed to the toxins and germs that they leave behind. Two such diseases are Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and histoplasmosis. Both are known to cause flu-like symptoms and a host of other health problems too.

 

Hantavirus is found in saliva, urine, and waste from certain rodents. Once the flu-like symptoms have set in, people infected with this virus get a rash made up of small red spots. Another common symptom is a dry cough which can, in severe cases, turn into difficulty breathing. The Hantavirus can also cause damage to the kidneys and lead to lung disease. Both of these diseases can be life-threatening to humans.

 

Histoplasmosis is an airborne infection that comes from breathing in spores that have been left from bat or bird droppings. It can also cause lung damage and is more common in older buildings.
