Rodents are more than just a nuisance. They can wreak havoc on your property and pose serious health risks. Did you know that they cause an estimated 20% of household fires in the United States by gnawing on electrical wires?  These pests have strong teeth that can chew through various materials, including wood, plastic, and even concrete. This destructive behavior can result in costly repairs and compromise the structural integrity of your home. Additionally, they carry bacteria and viruses that can contaminate food, leading to foodborne illnesses and allergies. Droppings, urine, and hair can trigger allergies and asthma attacks, particularly in sensitive individuals.  They are known carriers of diseases such as salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and hantavirus, which can be transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces or inhalation of airborne particles.

The Norway Rat and the House Mouse are prevalent in residential areas. These rodents have adapted well to human environments and can quickly multiply if not addressed. Norway Rats are excellent diggers and prefer to nest in burrows, while House Mice are skilled climbers and tend to seek shelter indoors.

Recognizing the signs is crucial for early detection and prompt action. Keep an eye out for visible trails and nests, which can appear as tracks or gnaw marks on surfaces, as well as shredded materials used for nesting. droppings are typically small, elongated, and dark in color. If you notice any unusual smells or sounds, such as scratching noises or a musty odor, it may indicate the presence of rodents.
