There are many awful results of a rodent infestation. This is true of any pest invasion, but rats and mice in particular have many reasons why they are possibly the worst pests to have in the home. Rodents need to constantly gnaw on objects since their teeth are open-rooted and therefore grow continuously. They can chew through plastic, cardboard, wood, fabric, and electrical wires. Every year, an estimated 20% of house fires with undetermined origins are caused by rodents chewing on wires. It is essential to get any rodent infestation under control immediately because the safety of you, your family, and your home is priceless.

Besides the visible damage that rodents cause, they also have invisible dangers wherever they go. Rats and mice both love to be around trash and garbage dumps, so all of that bacteria accumulates on their bodies and can be transmitted to anyone that they get near. Plague, rat-bite fever, salmonellosis, hantavirus, and West Nile virus are just some of the diseases that rats and mice transmit to humans, both directly and indirectly. The longer that rodents live in a home, the more likely it is that their harmful pathogens will spread.
