When it comes to rodent control, consider these reasons why professional help is a necessity.

Your Health Could Depend On It

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, rodents can transmit over 35 diseases humans and pets, some of which can be fatal. Rats are famously responsible for the plague that wiped out much of Europe’s population during the Middle Ages. Modern-day risks include Salmonellosis, Leptospirosis, Lyme disease, and West Nile Virus.

Rodents Can Damage Your Property

Rats and mice will chew through many materials, including electrical wiring, appliances, wood, clothing, and upholstery. Once rodents have infested your property, they can leave behind urine and feces, which pose a health risk. Cleaning up and repairing any rodent-related damage can be expensive.

They Could Lure Predators To Your Home

Rodents can also attract wild animals and other pests into your home. Cats, wild dogs, birds, and snakes prey on rodents for food. Dealing with a rodent control problem is stressful enough—imagine dealing with a snake infestation, too.
