Common Illnesses Spread by Mice

Because mice carry and transmit so many diseases and illnesses, it is very important to mouse proof your house and invest in effective mice control in Chicago. A mouse exterminator will quickly recognize the signs of mice in your house, and will perform thorough, effective mice extermination, mice elimination, and mice removal. Mouse prevention and mouse proofing your home will reduce your risk of a house mice infestation, and your risk of contracting an illness from mouse hair, droppings, or bites.

Mouse droppings and hair can become airborne and cause or contribute to asthma, allergies, respiratory problems, and pneumonia. Rat bites or feces can transmit salmonella, the hanta virus, bubonic plague, rabies, murine typhus, leptospirosis, rat bite fever, tapeworms, and meningitis.
