During the winter months, home rodent control becomes all the more important as critters like mice, raccoons, and rats become desperate to find a warm place to hide from the cold. Unfortunately, your home is the perfect place for them to camp out, and these pesky vermin can cause all kinds of problems. Here, the rodent control experts at Spencerport, NY-based TAAP Pest Elimination lay out the top threats these winter pests pose to your health and home and why any evidence of rodents is cause to call an exterminator right away.

Here are three unhappy results of rodents taking up residence in your house:

  • Urine & Droppings: The droppings and urine of rodents can quickly spread throughout the pantries where you keep your food, the cabinets where you store your dishes, and the countertops where you prepare your meals. Aside from being unsavory, these can contribute to the spread of bacteria and parasites and trigger allergic reactions, so act quickly by calling a local rodent control service if you start seeing droppings. 
  • rodent controlViruses: Rodents can carry bacteria and viruses passed on to them by parasites, such as ticks. In addition to bringing those parasites into your home, they can spread deadly viral infections to the surfaces, humans, and animals they come into contact with.
  • Structural Damage: Rodent urine can cause moisture damage to wooden structures, but that’s just where the destructive potential of a pest control issue begins. When these critters chew through the walls, pipes, or electrical wiring, they can cause very expensive damage or even a house fire, quickly taking their presence from annoying nuisance to disastrous.
