Although rats and mice are commonly kept as pets, there is nothing cute or appealing about the wild ones that invade our homes. They are disease-infested, destructive pests that can cost you a lot of money in repairing damages and throwing out contaminated food. These are the most obvious risks of having a rodent infestation since you can clearly see where they chewed through the walls, food packages, and other items. Rodents also mark their territory wherever they travel, so a sizable rodent infestation will yield a lot of droppings and urine around their nest. 

That being said, the hidden dangers of a rodent invasion are even scarier. Rodents are vectors for plenty of diseases and bacteria, mainly accumulated from their journeys through sewers and garbage dumps. These diseases can be transmitted either directly or indirectly, so getting bitten by a rodent is not the only way to get sick from their presence. Basically, any surface that rodents touch is contaminated due to the plethora of harmful pathogens on their bodies, so it is essential to sanitize everything and throw out contaminated food if you have a rodent problem. This is exactly why professional pest control is the best way to ensure that every rodent in the infestation is eliminated, and there is no one more equipped for this than Pointe Pest Control.
