Why Pest Waste is a Serious Problem

Health Risks – Pest waste carries diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonella, hantavirus, and psittacosis.
Property Damage – Droppings and urine corrode surfaces, insulation, and wiring.
Odour & Staining – Guano and urine create unpleasant odours that persist without deep cleaning.
Secondary Infestations – Waste can attract new pests such as flies, carpet beetles, and mites.
