Rodents

Rodents are scavengers always looking for the next opportune source of food, water, and shelter – often by invading your home or tearing up your property. While there are DIY and store-bought options available to try and combat rodent problems, working with the professionals at Critter Control® is by far the most effective way to resolve an issue.

Though there are many species and sub-species of rodents, the most common are:

• Mice
• Rats
• Squirrels

The Dangers of Rodent Infestation

Rodents are highly unsanitary, and having them in your home poses a variety of problems for you, your family, and even your household pets. Many rodent species are known carriers of infectious diseases like rabies, Plague, Lyme disease, rat-bite fever, and even Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis. Additionally, their contamination of food sources through their waste and contact increases food costs.

Apart from the health risks they pose, rodents have an aptitude from causing expensive property damage by chewing wooden structures, damaging electrical wiring, and soiling attic insulation.
