An aspect of airport design that seems to be ideal for rodents is the number of doors allowing access to the terminal. Each terminal at every airport has multiple doors allowing travelers arriving and departing to enter or exit.
These don’t include the doors that the hundreds or thousands of daily workers use to enter employee-only areas. Every single door is an opportunity for mice or rats to enter the airport.
One example is Albany International Airport, which according to the Times Union states that an airport spokesman admits to a “mice problem” The bigger problem for any facility is when rodents enter, they have the chance to spread disease and to populate with an infestation.
