Do you hear rustling noises within the walls at night? Have you discovered that some wiring or flexible plumbing hoses has chew marks on it? These are classic indications that you may have a rodent issue. The two most common types of rodents that enter a home are rats and mice. What makes this pest difficult to remove is that they are cautious, suspicious, and instinctively know if you’re out to remove them. Rodents are a pest that must be removed from the home. They can introduce parasites and transmit diseases that can be potentially serious. If baiting and trapping haven’t worked and the family cat is uninterested in hunting, then now is the time to call for rodent, rat, and mice control for the home and Busniess. Here is why removal is so important. • Rodents breed all year long. Once a nest has been established, rodents will expand in numbers and search for larger quantities of food and water to sustain the nest. • Rodents defend themselves. If a rodent is backed into a corner, it may choose to attack. • Rodents are highly adaptable. Sealing off an access point won’t stop rodents. They can quickly create new access points. Effective rodent, rat, and mice control means removing the current population while proactively preventing new pests from moving in. There are numerous options available to you right now depending on what type of rodent is bothering you and the size of the infestation. Contact us today if you’ve discovered rats, mice, or other rodents in your home or business and we’ll help to remove them so your family can be healthy and safe for a fair, competitive price. 31% of people in the United States are waking to the unnerving sound of rats and mice scratching around their homes, according to a 2015 pest control study. This number sees a 25% increase in the winter months, as the four-legged menaces rushed indoors to shelter from the wintery cold snap. What can blight the lives of families, prove costly to homeowners, and even render homes unsellable. Local authority pest controllers carried out 715,297 treatments for various infestations in 2010-2011. At this time of year, when cold weather forces rats and mice indoors to nest and forage for food, infestations can rocket, with rodents spreading disease as well as causing damage by chewing through wiring,  timber, pipes and brickwork. Rodents are not only unhygienic, but also dangerous, in some cases starting residential fires by chewing through wires. The bad news is that most insurers will not cover homeowners for damage caused by pests, though they will consider paying out on that caused by other wild animals. While you can buy your own traps and devices to deal with certain pests, it might be cheaper in the long run to hire professional pest control to only deal with the problem once.
