Understanding Rodent Infestations
Rodents, including mice and rats, are among the most serious household pests due to their ability to spread diseases, cause structural damage, and reproduce rapidly. Professional rodent control is essential for protecting your family's health and your property's integrity.
Rodents can enter homes through openings as small as a quarter inch, making them difficult to exclude. Once inside, they can cause significant damage to insulation, wiring, and structural elements while contaminating food and spreading diseases.
Health Risks of Rodent Infestations
Rodents pose serious health risks to humans:
- Disease transmission: Rodents can carry hantavirus, salmonella, and other diseases
- Contamination: Rodent droppings and urine can contaminate food and surfaces
- Allergens: Rodent dander and droppings can trigger allergic reactions
- Parasites: Rodents can bring fleas, ticks, and mites into your home
