When we think about maintaining a healthy home, images of clean counters, filtered air, and mold-free basements often come to mind. However, one of the most overlooked threats to a safe and sanitary household is the presence of nuisance wildlife. At Critter Control of Southern Maine, we understand that unwelcome animals are more than just a nuisance—they pose real risks to your health, home, and peace of mind.
Unseen Dangers of Nuisance Wildlife
Rodents, raccoons, bats, squirrels, and other critters can infiltrate your attic, basement, walls, or crawlspaces. While they may seem harmless at a glance, their presence can lead to:
-
Health Hazards: Many wild animals carry parasites, bacteria, and viruses that can be transmitted to humans. Rodents, for example, may carry hantavirus or salmonella, while raccoons are known carriers of raccoon roundworm.
-
Property Damage: Gnawed electrical wires, shredded insulation, and chewed wooden beams are just a few ways animals can damage your property—sometimes causing costly repairs or even fire hazards.
-
Contaminated Air Quality: Animal droppings and urine can accumulate and degrade indoor air quality, contributing to allergies, respiratory issues, and unpleasant odors.
