How can rodent damage your house?

How can rodent damage your house?

The Serious Threat Rodents Pose to Your Property and Health Rodents like rats and mice are more than just unwelcome visitors—they present significant risks to your property, health, and peace of mind: Property Damage: Rodents constantly gnaw to wear down their ever-growing teeth, damaging structural elements, electrical wiring (creating fire hazards), plumbing, insulation, and personal belongings. This damage can lead to costly repairs and potential safety hazards.

Health Risks: Rodents can transmit over 35 diseases to humans through direct contact, bites, or exposure to their droppings, urine, and saliva. These include Hantavirus, Salmonellosis, Leptospirosis, and Rat-Bite Fever. Food Contamination: Rodents contaminate about 10 times more food than they consume, rendering large amounts of food unsafe and leading to significant waste and expense.

Rapid Reproduction: A single female mouse can produce up to 10 litters per year with 5-6 young per litter, while rats can have up to 7 litters annually with 8-12 young each. This exponential growth means small problems quickly become major infestations.

Persistent Invaders: Rodents can squeeze through incredibly small openings (mice need only 6mm, about the width of a pencil), making them difficult to exclude without professional assistance. Don’t wait until rodents cause irreversible damage to your property or put your family’s health at risk. Professional intervention is essential for effective, lasting elimination.
