Rodent Control

Rodent Facts & Information

Although often small in size, rodents can pose a significant risk to your home and health.

Some rodent species are known to carry deadly viruses and play host to parasitic insects that transmit disease. Additionally, they can compromise the integrity of an infested structure through continuous gnawing. The most common rodent infestations include mice and rats.

Understanding Mice

Mice are non-stop chewers; they can cause significant damage through drywall, wood, carpeting, and other materials. Mice are also quite good at destroying electrical wires, leaving your home exposed to possible fire hazards. Additionally, their feces and urine often contain harmful pathogens that can make you ill.

Understanding Rats

Rats can chew through almost anything, causing harm to insulation, wooden beams, furniture, and more. They can also chew around and destroy electric wires, increasing the risk of a fire. While it is unlikely that a rat will bite a human, they become quite aggressive and may bite if they feel threatened by your presence. A rat bite can lead to Rat-Bite Fever, but this disease can also be transmitted by eating food or drinking water that has been contaminated by rats.
