• Plague: Caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, this disease is primarily spread by fleas that feed on infected rodents.     
• Lyme disease: Caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, this disease is transmitted through the bite of infected ticks that may feed on rodents.     
• Tularemia: Caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis, this disease can be spread through the bite of infected rodents or through contact with their contaminated fur or droppings.     

Viral infections: 

• Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome: Caused by a group of viruses known as hantaviruses, this disease is spread through the inhalation of rodent droppings or urine.

Our team of experts specializes in safely removing rodent droppings, urine, carcasses, and nests, followed by deep cleaning, sanitization, and odor removal. Rodent waste is a serious health hazard, as it often contains dangerous pathogens that can lead to illnesses. If not properly removed, the odors and remnants may attract more pests, worsening the problem. DIY cleanup is risky and not recommended due to the potential health dangers of handling contaminated materials.

At T.A.C.T. MT, we rely on specialized tools and industrial-strength disinfectants to eliminate all traces of contamination. We adhere to strict regulations to ensure rodent waste is disposed of safely and responsibly, giving you confidence that your property has been fully restored.

Rodent droppings are unfortunately a common call we receive at T.A.C.T. Not only can rodent or bird droppings create an unpleasant odor, but then can also carry hazardous diseases. The bacteria in the waste can often become airborne and effect food and water found in homes and businesses. Some diseases like leptospirosis is a bacterial disease commonly found in food and water can cause extreme sickness.

We properly treat and remove the waste and disinfect the areas using proprietary chemicals and the proper equipment to safely and properly remove rodent and bird waste.
