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.

  • Hantavirus
  • Leptospirosis
  • Salmonellosis

While death rates are low, thousands of people experience severe health complications every year. Don’t wait for rodent problems to escalate—American Pest Solutions can help protect your home and health with effective pest control solutions.
