\"\"<\/a>Hantaviruses are a group of viruses that are carried by various rodents, specifically, rats and mice<\/a>.\u00a0 Unfortunately contacting a Hantavirus is quite easy for humans and should be avoided.<\/p>\n

Hantaviruses can be found in the saliva, urine, and droppings of rodents<\/a>.\u00a0 Humans become exposed to these dangerous viruses by accidentally inhaling the contaminated dust that is created when rodent droppings or nests are being removed, cleaned, or accidentally disturbed.\u00a0 Often times, people become infected with a virus when they are working or living in a rodent infested setting without realizing that the area has a rodent infestation problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is no sure way to tell how long Hantaviruses are infectious within a particular environment as there are many different variables to take into consideration when dealing with rodent<\/a> droppings.\u00a0 Environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, sun exposure, as well as whether the droppings are found indoors or are outdoors all affects the length of time that the virus is active and dangerous.\u00a0 Even the rodent\u2019s diet affects the chemistry of the urine, so all rodent droppings should always be considered unsafe to handle.\u00a0 Pest control specialists<\/a> are trained to deal with risky ongoing rodent infestations, rodent urine, and droppings to eliminate a person\u2019s risk to dangerous Hantaviruses.<\/p>\n

The best way to avoid becoming ill is to keep rodents out of your home<\/a> or workplace.\u00a0 Windows, doors, gaps in foundations, attic vents, and unsealed pipes are all easy places for unwanted rodents to gain access indoors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Exclusion of rodents<\/a> should include sealing any cracks or crevices that are larger than \u00bc of an inch.\u00a0 The basic rule of thumb to follow is that if a rodent can fit its head into a space, it will be able to squeeze its body into the space as well.<\/p>\n
