How Rodents and Other Wildlife Can Affect Your Health
Rodents 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.
Rodent Control: South Carolina Rat & 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 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 South Carolina 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.

Rodent Control Prevention Tips:
• Store boxes and containers off the floor and organize items often
to prevent rodents from residing in undisturbed areas.
• Seal cracks and holes, including areas where utilities and pipes
enter the home.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use a thick plastic or metal garbage can with a tight lid and
keep sealed at all times.
• Keep grains and animal feed in thick plastic or metal containers
with tight lids. In the evening, return uneaten animal feed to
