Respiratory conditions among family members

People with asthma are at the most risk because they're more sensitive to viruses and bacteria like hantaviruses. In addition, rats can enter homes through gaps as small as 1/4th inch. Two to three of these rodents are needed to infest an entire house, attic, or outbuilding for a single breeding season.

For any family member suffering from respiratory issues, rats are known to trigger these conditions. One most notably is HPS.

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome is a disease that rats can transmit from their nests into homes and through rat droppings and urine. The virus causes flu-like symptoms but can lead to more serious complications like respiratory distress and organ failure. Medline Plus lists heart disease, pregnancy, and obesity as factors that exacerbate HPS in patients with compromised immune systems. Only 30% of people who contract HPS die from it because there's no vaccine for the virus at this time which means you need a Hollins Green rat exterminator who specializes in prevention rather than just trapping rats.

Rats are known to spread other diseases that can be harmful to humans. Some of these diseases include:

- Rat-Bite Fever: This disease is caused by bacteria transmitted through the bite or scratch of a rat. In addition, it can be transmitted through contact with their urine or faeces. Symptoms include fever, chills, headache, and muscle aches. If left untreated, it can lead to meningitis, heart failure, and death.

Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV): This virus is transmitted through contact with an infected rat's urine, saliva, or faeces. It can also be transmitted through a contaminated surface or object. Typical symptoms include a headache, fever, muscle aches, and fatigue. Occasionally, it can lead to meningitis and encephalitis. Most people recover from LCMV without medical treatment, but some individuals require hospitalization.

- Salmonellosis: This disease is typically acquired from handling infected rodents or their nests; therefore, it's considered a zoonotic - one contracted from animals rather than humans. It can cause fever, diarrhoea, and vomiting. Sometimes, it can even be fatal.

- Leptospirosis: This is a bacterial infection that's most commonly transmitted through contact with rat urine. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, and abdominal pain. If left untreated, it can lead to meningitis, liver failure, and death

There are many other diseases that rats can transmit to humans, so it's essential to take all necessary preventative measures to protect yourself and your family. One of the best ways to do this is by hiring a Hollins Green rat exterminator who can provide you with rat control treatments and removal services. In addition, they will be able to inspect your home for any potential entry points and install traps.

Does the light affect rats?

It is impossible to find a simple solution for this problem. Some people argue that keeping lights on will repel rats, but others claim the opposite. Other repellents on the market, such as peppermint oil, ammonia, and citrus peel, claim to be effective in keeping rats away. Despite this, scientific research has not backed up any of these strategies' effectiveness.

The best way to deal with rats is by implementing an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan, which will involve a combination of methods, including exclusion, habitat modification, trapping, and baiting. An experienced Hollins Green rat exterminator will be able to develop a customized IPM plan for your home based on the severity of the infestation and your family's specific needs.
