Rats and mice really love people and the houses they live in. Human homes provide a near endless supply of food, cozy places to sleep, and a predator-free environment! What else could a hungry rodent ask for? Rats and mice will go anywhere they can find food and shelter, and your house offers both in great supply.

This is why rodents love us, but the feeling certainly isn’t mutual. And for good reason; besides causing plenty of household destruction, mice and rats can carry up to thirty-five different diseases. These can be spread through bites and bacteria in droppings and nests, or transferred to people and pets through fleas that have bitten the rodents.

Whilst they are out spreading diseases, mice and rats are also busy with construction projects – remodeling your interior walls to build nests and hideouts and other Rodent Problems. Rodent’s sharp teeth can saw through an impressive number of materials, including wood, plaster and insulation, costing you plenty in home repairs. They’re often the cause of electrical damage as well, gnawing through wires and cords.

As you can see, having a rodent problem is no picnic. Many people will try to fix the problem themselves by buying poisons and traps from the hardware store, but this is usually a bad idea. Traps are ineffective if you don’t know where to place them, and rodents always have more places to hide than you think. Setting out poison will lead to dead rats in the home that later need to be removed – not a pleasant job.
