The Risks of Rodent Infestations

Rodents are known for their ability to chew through almost anything, including wood, plastic, and even electrical wiring. This not only causes structural damage to your home but can also lead to fire hazards if they gnaw on wires. In addition to property damage, rodents can contaminate food, spread diseases, and trigger allergies.

Mice and rats are notorious for their rapid reproduction rates, which means a small infestation can quickly grow into a major problem if not addressed promptly.

Signs of a Rodent Problem

It's important to recognize the signs of a rodent infestation early so you can take action before the problem escalates. Common signs include droppings, gnaw marks, and the sound of scurrying or scratching in the walls or ceiling. You may also notice chewed food packaging or nests made of shredded paper or fabric.

Rodents are most active at night, so you may not see them during the day, but the signs they leave behind are a clear indication of their presence.

Rodent Prevention and Control

The first step in protecting your home from rodents is to eliminate entry points. Inspect your home for cracks, gaps, and holes that rodents could use to get inside. Seal these openings with materials like steel wool or caulk, which rodents can't chew through.

Next, eliminate potential food sources by storing food in airtight containers, cleaning up crumbs and spills promptly, and keeping garbage tightly sealed. Reducing clutter in your home, especially in storage areas like basements and attics, can also make your home less attractive to rodents.
