You may think it&#8217;s no more difficult than cleaning up after your dog, but there are real dangers associated with mouse droppings\u00a0that you need to be aware of before attempting to deal with the situation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\">A mouse will produce anywhere from 50 to 75 tiny pellets a day. Since\u00a0mice\u00a0spend much of the time scurrying around, their feces\u00a0get deposited across a wide area, making it hard to contain the mess. Your first instinct may be to simply sweep floors and under furniture, hoping to collect it all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\">However, this could potentially make the problem far worse. Mouse droppings are prime carriers for germs and viruses that can spread to humans. The most\u00a0serious of these is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2013\/12\/11\/mice-carry-the-deadly-hantavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hantavirus<\/a> which causes an intense, sometimes deadly respiratory illness. Transmission of the virus occurs when the pellets mix with dust and it becomes airborne\u00a0during sweeping.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\">Mouse feces can also harbor\u00a0the virus that causes LCM, a form of meningitis that&#8217;s not usually fatal but has painful flu-like symptoms. Food or drink that becomes contaminated by droppings can cause salmonella, resulting in digestive distress that can progress to dehydration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\">If your home has been the site of a mouse infestation, don&#8217;t take any chances handling it yourself.
