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.
Florida & Jacksonville Rodent Control: Rat
Extermination & Mice Prevention
Rodents (such as mice, rats, chipmunks and squirrels) can enter a
home through almost any opening or crack. It is important to
inspect for mouse or other 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 Florida rat exterminators and 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.
Florida & Jacksonville Pigeon & Bird
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 Jacksonville
pigeon & bird control specialists
in Florida 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. We take
bird & pigeon prevention seriously.

Rodent & Bird Control Prevention Tips:
There are a number of pest-proofing measures that Florida
homeowners can take to protect their home and families from the
threats posed by rodents and birds.
Arrow's Jacksonville rodent & bird control
specialists recommend the following:
Rodent Control Prevention Tips:
-
Seal cracks and holes, including areas where utilities and pipes
enter the home.
-
Store boxes and containers off the floor and organize items often
to prevent rodents from residing in undisturbed areas.
-
Clean up spilled food right away immediately and wash dishes and
cooking utensils soon after use.
-
Store food in thick metal or plastic containers with tight
lids.
-
Use a thick plastic or metal garbage can with a tight lid and keep
sealed at all times.
-
Keep outside cooking areas and grills clean.
-
Do not leave pet food or water bowls out overnight.
-
Keep bird feeders away from the house and use squirrel guards to
limit access to the feeder by squirrels and other rodents.
-
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.
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 Jacksonville rodent control specialists in Florida to
inspect and treat the pest problem.
Bird Control Prevention Tips:
-
Seal or cover vents and gutters to deter birds.
-
Screen off potential nesting areas such as eaves and
rooflines.
-
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.
