Englewood wildlife control tip of the month: Is wild animal feces dangerous to touch or breathe?

Although many people assume one can only contract diseases from a wild animal through physical Englewood exterminator touch, bites, or scratches, animal feces are also the perpetrators of airborne diseases. Don’t assume that just because you’re not handling the Englewood pest control animal or its scat directly that you are not susceptible. Wild animals leave their scat where they please, including in your home, in the walls, in your attic or basement. If left for too long, animal scat will dry, harden and disintegrate over time, leaving scat particles to mingle with the dust that flows through your central heating or cooling system.

An example of an airborne disease by various rodents is the Hantavirus, otherwise known as Englewood animal trapping HPS or Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. According to the CDC, anyone can get sick from the hantavirus who has had exposure to it, and cases of the hantavirus have been found in all the continental United States. Forty percent of people diagnosed with the hantavirus die from it, though this figure is probably smaller than it seems since the disease is rare. While the hantavirus is an airborne disease, there are still other diseases carried by rodents that can be contracted through improper cleanup of scat or urine including the bubonic plague, salmonellosis, rat-bite fever and even anthrax. You may clean up rodent scat and nests by yourself. To prevent exposure or sickness, it is a good idea to deal with a wild animal infestation in your home as soon as you suspect it is a problem. Still, animal control professionals are trained in handling wild animals and preventing themselves, you, and your family from exposure to airborne, or otherwise transmitted, diseases.

You can prevent Englewood animal control animal scat in your attic or basement by keeping these areas clear of nesting materials such as string, newspaper, uncontained fabrics, or anything soft they can use to construct a nest out of. Do away with unnecessary clutter. Take care to throw out your trash regularly and store anything in your attic that might be construed by an unwitting wild animal as nesting material in boxes or trunks that are sealed. It is also a good idea to put up wire mesh around the base of your Englewood wildlife removal house or even fill in potential entry points with cement if necessary.
