Examining the Health Risks Rodents Pose to Your Home and Family

The presence of rodents in your home poses several risks to your health, including those from disease and fire danger. Have rodents professionally removed to reduce your risks of exposure to the following health hazards:

Salmonellosis

Food or water contaminated by rat feces may contain salmonella. When humans ingest this, they can quickly develop salmonellosis, resulting in 12 to 72 hours of fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. The illness tends to last four to seven days. While most people recover without treatment, diarrhea may be so severe for some that it requires hospitalization.

Rabies

Rabies is most often spread from the bite of a rabid animal, such as a bat, skunk, or raccoon. Once a victim is infected, the virus targets the central nervous system. If untreated, it ultimately attacks the brain and may lead to death in a matter of days. Symptoms are severe and include insomnia, partial paralysis, hallucinations, and hypersalivation. 

Lyme Disease

Rodents carry certain diseases which can spread to humans through infected mosquitoes or ticks. One such example is Lyme disease—symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and skin rash. If left untreated, the disease can spread to the joints, heart, and nervous system.

Fire Danger

Injury from burns or smoke inhalation is a particular concern in rodent infestation, because the animals like to chew on electrical wires. When active wires are severed, they throw off sparks which could lead to a fire.

Call Pacific Coast Termite to get rid of your pest problem. We’ll eliminate rodent populations, remove any nests, seal up potential entry points, and purge all traces of the infestation. We also offer termite control services, including anti-termite treatments and extermination. Give us a call today at (714) 881-1413 for help in the Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

The Importance of Early Detection of a Termite Infestation

As a homeowner, you are probably well aware of the risks of house fires, flooding, and earthquakes. But did you know that termite infestations cause more damage each year than these three combined? Fortunately, most termite-related home damage can be prevented. The key is early detection and that’s exactly what a professional termite control company like Pacific Coast Termite will provide. Early detection of a termite infestation is important for many reasons.

• Protect Against Severe Structural Damage: Early detection of a termite infestation can greatly reduce the amount and severity of damage done to key structural components of your home. As termite infestations grow larger over time, so does the amount of wood that they consume. In other words, the longer you wait to schedule an in-home termite inspection, the larger an infestation can become, and the greater the expense of repairing your home will be.
• Ensure that Your Home is Termite-Free: Termite infestations are quite easy to remove, especially when the termite control company uses XT-2000 Orange Oil.  However, the earlier a termite infestation is removed from your home, the less likely it will be that multiple infestations will be discovered in the future. Because small termite infestations are much easier to treat than large ones, early detection will allow your home to be made termite-free in virtually no time at all.
• Prevent Future Termite Infestations: One of the primary aspects of effective termite control is prevention. As part of our commitment to protecting your home from future termite attacks, our professional exterminators take care to determine the source of the initial infestation, greatly reducing the risk of future termite infestations.

If you want to save the time, money and hassle of dealing with a large-scale termite infestation, contact Pacific Coast Termite today to schedule your free in-home termite inspection. If an infestation is discovered, we will utilize the most effective treatment methods possible to rid your home of termites once and for all. To schedule your free inspection, call us at (714) 881-1413.
