Rats and Mice

Rodent infestations, involving rats and mice, pose more than just a nuisance. These creatures can cause significant property damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and structural components, potentially leading to electrical fires and structural weaknesses. Health-wise, rodents are carriers of diseases like Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis, posing serious health risks through their droppings, urine, and saliva. Their presence can be particularly distressing, causing unease and discomfort in your own home or business, and can severely tarnish the reputation of commercial establishments.

Rats and mice are highly adaptable pests that can thrive in various environments. They are attracted to places offering food and shelter, making human habitations perfect targets. These rodents are not only difficult to eliminate due to their cautious nature but are also prolific breeders, which means a small problem can quickly escalate into a full-blown infestation. Their ability to remain hidden and nocturnal habits make early detection challenging.

How to Identify the Pest: Early detection is crucial in managing a rodent problem. Key indicators include:

• Droppings: Small, dark droppings particularly along walls, in cupboards, or under sinks.
• Gnaw Marks: Evidence of chewing on food packaging, structures, wires.
• Tracks and Trails: Smudgy marks or tracks in dusty areas.
• Noises in the Walls: Scratching sounds in the walls or ceilings, especially at night.

Being aware of these signs can lead to early intervention and control.
