There is nothing more disconcerting than the notion of sharing your home with a family of rodents. Mice and rats are constantly seeking safe shelter from mother nature and can enter your home’s vulnerable access points to make their dwelling. Along with these new tenants comes costly destruction to your property and potential health risks to you and your family. Taking the necessary precautions to avoid an infestation and recognizing the signs of their threat to your health and home can help keep your property rodent-free.

Mice and rats are super furry and can appear cute and loveable. But they pose great concerns to your home’s structure. Rodents chew incessantly and can tear through wood, insulation, wiring, and more without you even knowing they are there. Inspect your attic, basement, crawl spaces, and roofline if you suspect rodents have inhabited your home.

Rodents also bring along many diseases and health risks when they infest your home or property. These diseases can cause great harm to your pets and your family and should be taken very seriously.

The CDC states, “Worldwide, rats and mice spread over 35 diseases. These diseases can be spread to humans directly, through handling of rodents, through contact with rodent feces, urine, or saliva, or through rodent bites. Diseases carried by rodents can also be spread to humans indirectly, through ticks, mites or fleas that have fed on an infected rodent.”

The bottom line? Rodents in your home are never a good thing and once found, need to be removed immediately. The exclusion of rodents from your home will not only take care of any current infestation but will prevent further issues with rodents entering your property.
