Rodents are a danger to human health and structures. They cause fires and electrical shorts in buildings by gnawing on wires and electrical equipment. Rodents contaminate food, medicine, and surface areas by leaving behind droppings, urine, saliva, and hair to be consumed by humans. Rodents are also known to spread numerous diseases and viruses, such as The Plague, Typhus, Trichinosis, Rat Bite Fever, and many others. They are also capable of transporting ticks, lice, and other parasites onto your property.

The four most common rodents found in Nevada are the Roof Rat, Norway Rat, House Mouse, and the White-Footed Mouse.
