Risks of Rodents
Health Risks
Rodents are known carriers of various diseases, including hantavirus and leptospirosis. They contaminate food and surfaces with their droppings, urine, and saliva, posing serious health risks to humans and pets.
Property Damage
Rodents have a natural instinct to gnaw, which can lead to significant damage to wiring, insulation, and wooden structures in your home. This damage can create fire hazards and costly repairs.
Allergic Reactions
Exposure to rodent droppings and urine can trigger allergic reactions and asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals, leading to respiratory issues and discomfort.
Pest Attraction
Rodents can attract other pests, such as fleas and ticks, which can further complicate your pest management issues and pose additional health risks.
Stress and Anxiety
The presence of rodents in your home can lead to increased stress and anxiety, disrupting your peace of mind and quality of life.
Signs of Rodents
Droppings
Finding small, dark droppings in cabinets, drawers, or along walls is a clear indication of rodent activity.
Gnaw Marks
Evidence of gnawing on furniture, wires, or food packaging shows that rodents are present and actively causing damage.
Nests
Rodents often build nests from shredded materials like paper or fabric, typically found in hidden areas such as attics or basements.
Noises
Hearing scratching or scurrying sounds, especially at night, can indicate that rodents are moving around in your walls or ceilings.
Tracks
Footprints or tail marks can sometimes be seen in dusty areas, providing further evidence of rodent presence.
