Don’t Let Rodents Take Over Your Home
It takes only a few rodents to cause a huge problem for your family. Not only are they highly destructive, but they’re also very difficult to catch. It takes a trained eye with years of experience to stop a rodent infestation quickly and efficiently. Whether you have rats, mice, or any other type of rodent, contact a professional pest control company immediately upon discovering any signs of an infestation.
Common Signs of Rodents
Some types of rodents are small and can live virtually undetected in your house, especially mice and rats. That’s why it’s important to keep a sharp eye out for some of the common signs of rodents:
- Droppings
- Hunting or stalking behavior from your pets
- Sounds of scurrying on your floors or in the walls
- Damaged or ripped food packaging
- Gnaw marks on furniture
- Bad or musky odors
- Holes in walls or floors
What Makes Rodent Infestations Dangerous?
Rodent infestations are a serious matter. They’re some of the most destructive and harmful pests you can have in your home. Here are some of the dangers of living with rodents:
- Property Damage – Rodents nest in insulation, gnaw on wires, and chew through your walls. Given enough time, they can cause hundreds if not thousands in property damage.
- Transit Disease – Everywhere mice and rats go, they leave traces of urine and droppings. Both of which can carry diseases and bacteria that could be harmful to you and your family.
- Fleas and Ticks – Rodents carry fleas and ticks, and when they come into your house, the fleas and ticks come with them.
- Destroy Food Stock – Rats and mice like to eat. Specifically, they like to eat your food. Rodents can find your food stores and gnaw their way into your dried goods, leaving a big mess and a loss of food.
