Rodents are carriers of Hantavirus, which can spread through their waste products (i.e., urine, droppings, and saliva) as well as from nesting materials. People may become infected with Hantavirus when airborne particles enter the respiratory system during cleaning or when carrying out work activities (i.e., renovating, accessing stored items, roof work or carrying out repairs in a shed, garage, warehouse), or through incidental exposure to rodent-infested areas. While Hantavirus is uncommon in Australia relative to some overseas countries, rodents still present considerable threats to people ( health ), hygiene (sanitary), and property; and must not be ignored.

Rodents such as rats or mice can pose a threat to our health, food supply and property as they create an unsanitary environment when they contaminate our food sources, damage insulation materials, chew through electrical wires, introduce bacteria into an environment and reproduce quickly. What starts out as small rodent problem has the potential to expand into a larger rodent infestation if left untreated. Many people are not aware they have a rodent infestation until they hear rodent activity in their walls or roof, or see rodent droppings, smell odours from decaying animals or observe damage to their home caused by rodents.

The various potential risks that rodents create or pose demonstrate the need for professional pest control services to be employed to eradicate rodent infestations. Do-it-yourself ( DIY ) remedies generally only target the visible rodent population that inject themselves into our lives and do not address other areas of rodent presence (i.e., nesting, entry points and breeding sites that are not readily visible within wall cavities, roof cavities, sub-floor cavities and storage areas). Professional pest control experts provide a comprehensive and targeted pest control program aimed at reducing the potential health hazards and the risk of continued infestation.
