Rosie’s, Female Spray Technicians add Attention to Detail

Rosie’s Pest Control was founded on the idea of using primarily female spray technicians. Rosie the Riveter was the perfect symbol of the capable and confident woman so Rosie’s was born!

Rosie the Riveter is a cultural icon of World War II, representing the women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II, many of whom produced munitions and war supplies. These women sometimes took entirely new jobs replacing the male workers who joined the military. Rosie the Riveter is used as a symbol of feminism and women’s economic power. Similar images of women war workers appeared in other countries such as Britain and Australia. Images of women workers were widespread in the media as government posters, and commercial advertising was heavily used by the government to encourage women to volunteer for wartime service in factories.

Katie Fox, our version of Rosie, works hard every day to make sure your homes and businesses are free from pests of all kinds. Rodents, spiders, termites, roaches, ants and all of manner of pests are no match for our environmentally friendly treatments. Our treatments are pet friendly as well. We believe that the female spray technician has great attention to detail and makes residents feel comfortable. If you would like to give Rosie’s a try and live in the Memphis area, call 901-567-3800. We would love to show you how strong and capable our ‘Rosie’ is!

Top 4 Diseases Caused by Rats in Memphis

Here in Memphis, rats and mice are heading in for the winter. Today, we have had a drop in temperature which will trigger even more rodents into nesting mentality. They are searching for small entry points in your homes and businesses and they love attic spaces. Rodents will go out to find food and water and sneak back in to nest and breed. Rodents are very much a health hazard for anyone around them as microscopic organisms can be spread very easily. Here are four types of diseases caused by rats in this area:

Hantavirus – Hantavirus is a life-threatening disease transmitted to humans by rodents—primarily, the white-footed deer mouse. People become infected through exposure or inhalation of infected rodent urine, droppings or saliva. The chances increase when people are near spaces where rodents are actively living.
Bubonic plague – Bubonic Plague is usually spread by the bite of an infected rodent flea and can cause fever, headache and painfully swollen lymph nodes.”
Salmonellosis – Salmonellosis is a kind of food poisoning spread by rodent feces, especially through the consumption of contaminated food. Symptoms may include diarrhea, fever and abdominal pain.
Rat-Bite Fever – Rat-bite fever (RBF) is a potentially fatal infectious disease spread by infected rodents or the consumption of food contaminated by rodents.

Any of these diseases can cause severe health risks, so if you are in doubt about your rodent activity, please give us a call or email so we can come out and access your risk. We will look for rodent activity and access points. We may decide to use bait stations where activity is found. Rosie’s Pest Control is fully licensed and up to date on current rodent removal techniques.
