Rodent season has begun. In autumn, mice start searching for winter shelter, making them frequent guests in human homes. They seek food and warm places to live and reproduce. Grain and vegetable storage facilities are ideal for them — but they also bring serious risks.
What dangers do rodents pose?
Unfortunately, rodents are skilled at finding tiny gaps and cracks in walls to sneak inside. They can detect food from a long distance, and a home depot or warehouse is always full of resources. When mice appear, they bring with them several serious threats:
1. Food Contamination
Rats and mice are known to contaminate stored food. They carry over 35 diseases (including salmonella, hantavirus, and rat-bite fever), which can be transmitted to humans through direct contact or by consuming contaminated food. Once inside your warehouse, rodents leave behind droppings, urine, and fur — all of which can harbor dangerous bacteria and viruses. Many of these illnesses resemble the flu, with symptoms like high fever, chills, muscle pain, cough, shortness of breath, headache, diarrhea, light sensitivity, nausea, and vomiting.
2. Product Damage
Gnawing leads to spoilage and mold formation on food supplies. In a fully stocked warehouse, rodents can rapidly destroy large quantities of goods, resulting in major food and financial losses.
3. Increased Pest Activity
Rodents aren’t the only pests drawn to warehouses filled with grain or vegetables. Their presence can attract secondary pests like moths and weevils, further worsening the infestation.
4. Financial Loss
Rodent damage can cost you an entire season’s worth of hard work — with unnecessary expenses reaching tens or even hundreds of thousands of lei.
