Rodents
Rodents' instincts make them difficult to control,
and they present a serious menace to your home. Here's what you should
know about these pests:
Rats
- Difficult to control: Rats are instinctively wary
of traps and bait, and colonize in attics, burrows, under concrete and
porches, in wall voids and other hard to reach places.
- Disease: Rats can harbor and transmit a number of
serious diseases. They can also introduce disease-carrying parasites
such as fleas, lice and ticks into your home.
Mice
- Access: They invade your home seeking food, water
and warmth. One pair of mice can produce 200 offspring in four months.
- Contamination: Each mouse can contaminate ten times
more food than it eats.
