WE CAN HELP YOU REDUCE RODENTS IN YOUR CITY
Liphatech is offering FREE troubleshooting, consulting and training services as part of our Municipal Rodent Control Initiative.
WHY IS RODENT CONTROL SO IMPORTANT?
Rodents present a threat to public health. Research indicates that Norway rats, one of the most common rats infesting cities throughout the U.S., are carriers of 35 different bacteria, viruses and protozoa, posing an infection threat to people and animals.
Rodent-transmitted diseases are spread via multiple routes. For example, Salmonella can be carried from a sewer to a food contact surface in a kitchen, on a rodent’s feet. Rat bite fever (RBF) is transmitted by a bite or scratch from an infected rodent.
Roof rats are also significant disease vectors and can be an even greater challenge to control due to their tendency to inhabit walls, ceilings and attics. Their urine, feces and unrecovered dead carcasses can cause significant indoor odor and health problems.
Rats bite thousands of people every year, especially small children and the infirm, as they sleep. Most bites are to exposed body parts such as the face and hands.
Rats harm a city’s image – especially when the media publishes lists compiled by various organizations or companies naming the country’s “rattiest cities,” whether the information is statistically accurate or not.
Rodents cause immeasurable monetary losses by:
- Contaminating food in homes and public places with urine, droppings and germs, causing it to be discarded.
- Contaminating pet food, causing those animals to get sick, resulting in vet bills.
- Gnawing on electrical wires causing structural fires as well as electronic and automotive electrical system failures.
- Causing significant fear and disgust among citizens.
- Gnawing holes in garbage carts, trash receptacles and buildings, resulting in replacement or repair costs.
- Undermining sewers, walls, concrete floors and sidewalks with their burrows.
- Destroying landscapes and community gardens by feeding on plants, and burrowing to feed on their roots.
- Severely harming a business’s brand value via word of mouth or media publicity.
