No pest is a welcome guest in an O’Fallon home, but rodents are often considered to be the most vile of pests. When they are not busy invading a home, rats and mice are foraging for food in some disgusting places. They can often be found in sewers, garbage dumps, drainage pipes, maintenance tunnels, and under houses. This is primarily why rodents carry so many diseases; the dangerous pathogens that reside in these locations are picked up by the rodent because it eats the objects and lives nestled within them. Rats and mice can then transmit these diseases to humans if the pests invade a home afterwards. Direct and indirect transmission are possible, making these pests a dangerous presence in your home regardless of the specific room they invade. 

Rodents can carry over 35 diseases that are transmittable to humans. This puts you and your loved ones at risk of contracting illnesses such as leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, and salmonellosis. When rodents find their way into your kitchen, they can also contaminate your food, forcing you to throw away groceries and sanitize everything. They can even pose safety risks to your home if they happen to chew any wiring, as the resulting sparks are a common cause of house fires every year. Our rodent control in O’Fallon takes away all these risks and makes your home a safer place for your loved ones.

One of the main keys to ending a rodent invasion is finding the main nest and removing it. This is where the rodents are the most comfortable and spend the most time, so removing their makeshift nest and applying treatments is the best way to target the majority of the group.
