In addition to posing health risks, rodents can do expensive damage to your home.
A rodent infestation presents two major challenges: health concerns and property damage. The bacteria, diseases, and parasites that rats and mice carry threaten human health. A contaminated environment, contaminated food, and parasites can transmit diseases like Salmonella, Murine Typhus, Tularemia, and Lyme disease. If you have any reason to believe these insects are lurking in your home, you should take extra precautions to clean the house and keep all perishable items in sealed containers.
Mice and rats not only contaminate food and spread disease, but they also cause costly property damage. This is the case when they rip apart clothing, insulation, and paper to use as nesting material. Additionally, they create holes in walls, gnaw on furniture legs, and wreak havoc on plumbing and wiring hidden behind partitions. Damage to your home and property increases proportionally with the severity of infestations.
