Rodents are everywhere, but how do they get inside? One-third of American homeowners have seen a rodent inside their home in the last year. These pesky pests can get inside commercial spaces like restaurants and grocery stores, as well as residential homes. Mice and rats are nifty creatures. They can squeeze and find their way into small cracks and crevices that make it virtually impossible to fully “rodent-proof” a home. A mouse can fit in a hole as small as a dime. In the United States, each winter cold weather drives around 21 million rodents to invade the home.
What Problems Arise When Rodents Enter The Home?
Rodents are one of the most dangerous pests when it comes to the health concerns they bring. Mice can spread diseases like Salmonella as well as trigger asthma problems. Rodents’ teeth never stop growing! Because of this nature mice are constantly chewing, which causes potentially harmful effects to the home. They can gnaw on electrical wires as well as any car wires, which can cause significant car troubles.
What To Do If You Suspect A Rodent Problem?
If you suspect any rodent issues at all it is best to call a professional exterminator to assess the situation. Mice and rats have the potential to cause serious damage and health effects. NW Pest Control offers effective solutions to eliminating rodent infestations.
