Did you know that rats and mice can carry a deadly virus called Hantavirus? When people contract Hantavirus, it’s often due to exposure to rodents in areas like crawl spaces, attics, or spaces with food waste. Infection occurs through contact with rodent urine, droppings, or saliva.
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS)
This is a serious and potentially fatal disease that affects the lungs. Protect your home by reducing the risk of exposure to Hantavirus. Start by sealing gaps around your home, garage doors, or fascia to prevent rodents from entering.
