Danger of hantavirus
with rats

Appelez-nous

Before even thinking about how to avoid any disease from parasites such as rodents, we must think about pest prevention. And to do this, it is essential to close all avenues to possible contamination.

To avoid respiratory infection, for example, be sure to limit or even avoid the use of high-pressure water jets in the non-ventilated areas you want to clean. Wear a mask, ventilate rooms and use a vacuum cleaner rather than a broom to avoid lifting dust that comes into contact with rodent feces.

When you notice the presence of rodents in your environment, the best solution is to contact extermination professionals in order to effectively fight the infestation. For residents in Canada, Exterminateur Montreal specializes in pest extermination and pest management in Montreal. Its services are offered in Ahuntsic, Rosemont and other regions of Canada.

Hantavirus, definition and mode of transmission

Hantavirus is a severe lung syndrome caused by a virus. It is secreted in the urine, feces and saliva of infected animals. Most often these are rodents. When humans come into direct or indirect contact with these secretions, the virus is transmitted to them. Ditto when they are bitten by infected rodents.

However, the virus is not transmitted from human to human, only from animal to human. This type of disease is called zoonoses because they can only be transmitted to humans through an animal. It has been found that domestic animals (apart from the domestic rat) and livestock cannot contract hantavirus so there is every reason to believe that only rodents can carry it.

Symptoms of hantavirus

Being a lung disease, one of the characteristic symptoms of hantavirus is difficulty breathing. At the beginning of the disease, the infected person begins to feel fever, chills, headache and muscle pain.

It is about two weeks after the appearance of the first symptoms that they are usually accompanied by a feeling of shortness of breath. Nevertheless, this last manifestation of the disease can be observed after two days as after six weeks; it depends on the organism of the individual.

Hantavirus can also lead to kidney disease or infection. And although they are rare and very few people are prone to them, there is currently no treatment to combat these ailments. It is therefore better to be careful not to contract them.

Other diseases and damage caused by rats

You are all more or less aware of the rats’ mania for leaving tooth marks on almost anything within their reach. This is due to the fact that the teeth of rodents are continuously growing, so they need to wear them out on something so that they are not too long. As a result, all materials pass through it: from plastic to concrete, through aluminum, cardboard, leather, etc.

Rodents also pose many problems for businesses. They are omnivores, so they nibble on everything within reach of their teeth. They are harmful to businesses because they attack furniture and electrical cables, which can lead to fires.

A food eaten away by a rat will undoubtedly harm the health of a man who consumes it. Consumer companies must therefore be on their guard and take all precautions in advance.

Apart from hantavirus which is a fairly rare and serious syndrome, rodents can carry and transmit other diseases. We can mention salmonellosis, tuberculosis, rabies, typhus, trichinosis, Weil’s disease, cysticercosis, bubonic plague, tularemia, etc. This is without counting the allergic reactions that bacteria carried by rats can cause.

Hantavirus is a disease of the genus ortho hantavirus. This type of virus has as a reservoir animal a rodent that hosts the virus and transmits it to humans, which creates in the latter the diseases mentioned above.

Testimonials

Mr. Gagnon. Laval: "I noticed that wasps were entering my veranda, so I called Alerte Animal. Mr. René Gélinas started by securing me on the phone. He then advised me not to not block the entrance where the wasps were circulating, because I risked finding them inside my house. On his arrival he dealt with the problem and I am very satisfied. Thank you again Mr Gelinas "

Mr Maurice, Montreal last March we returned from a week's vacation. I noticed ants in Indian files. Although I used bug spray, it kept coming back. I contacted Mr Gélinas on the recommendation of a friend. He reassured me about the nature of the insect (it was not carpenters) and got rid of it in a single intervention.

Mme Lamarche, Montreal: I heard funny noises in the corner of my room on the second floor ... it sounded like continuous crackles like when adding milk to the Crispi rice (cereals) I called René the exterminator and he came right away. Thank you very much for your team.
