How Rodents, Pigeons and Other Wildlife Can Affect Your
Health
Rodents, pigeons and other wildlife can have harmful effects upon
your health, your family's health as well as cause damage to your
home. It is important to fully understand the dangers stemming from
these types of infestations. Below is a more detailed overview of
the health risks associated with particular rodents and birds.
Phoenix Rodent Control: Rat & Mouse
Extermination
Rodents (such as mice, rats. chipmunks and squirrels) can enter a
home through almost any opening or crack. It is important to
inspect for rodent droppings, especially in undisturbed areas such
as pantries, under baseboards, in attics and along walls. Rodent
droppings most often cause allergic reactions in human beings but
can also cause disease, including the potentially deadly
Hantavirus. More frequently, though, rodents serve as vectors,
carrying bacteria, such as salmonella, on their bodies and
contaminating food sources, kitchen surfaces and equipment. Arrow's
trained Phoenix Arizona rodent control professionals can
offer the expertise and knowledge of rodent biology to best protect
your health and rid your home of a rodent infestation.
Phoenix Bird & Pigeon Control
Pigeons are filthy birds and carry many other pests on them, such
as fleas, ticks and mites, which pose their own health dangers to
the public, including lime disease. Pigeons themselves are known to
carry several diseases and can contaminate food, causing salmonella
poisoning. Arrow's trained Phoenix Arizona pigeon & bird
control specialists have the expertise and equipment necessary to
rid your property of these creatures. We can not only safely
eliminate the pigeons but can also help determine where and why
these animals are infiltrating your property and how to eliminate
the conducive conditions to prevent future problems.

Rodent Control & Prevention Tips:
There are a number of pest-proofing measures that Phoenix Arizona
homeowners can take to protect their home and families from the
threats posed by rodents and birds. Arrow's Arizona
rodent & bird control specialists recommend the
following:
• Store boxes and containers off the floor and organize items
often to prevent rodents, suchs as mice or rats, from
residing in undisturbed areas.
• Store food in thick metal or plastic containers with tight
lids.
• Clean up spilled food right away immediately and wash dishes and
cooking utensils soon after use.
• Keep outside cooking areas and grills clean.
• Seal cracks and holes, including areas where utilities and pipes
enter the home.
• Keep bird feeders away from the house and use squirrel guards to
limit access to the feeder by squirrels and other rodents.
• Do not leave pet food or water bowls out overnight.
• Keep grains and animal feed in thick plastic or metal containers
with tight lids. In the evening, return uneaten animal feed to
containers with lids.
• Use a thick plastic or metal garbage can with a tight lid and
keep sealed at all times.
• If you find rodent feces, hear sounds of scurrying in the walls
or observe other signs of a rodent infestation, contact one of
Arrow's licensed rodent control specialists in Atlanta Georgia to
inspect and treat the pest problem.
Bird & Pigeon Control Prevention Tips:
• Screen off potential nesting areas such as eaves and
rooflines.
• Seal or cover vents and gutters to deter birds.
• Make sure to clean up food spills promptly and keep trashcans
covered. By denying birds and pigeons of a continuous food source,
they will seek shelter elsewhere.
