Rodents are also the vectors of human disease, including tuberculosis, salmonella gastro- enteritis, rat bite fever, leptospirosis (weils disease) and numerous others all of can cause death. Their droppings and fur will also contaminate food preparation surfaces and foodstuffs. Rodents are incontinent and consequently foul wherever they travel.
