Understanding the Rodent Problem in Your Home

Rodents aren't just looking for food; they're looking for shelter, especially as seasons change. Once inside, they can:

• Cause Damage: Chew through electrical wires (a fire hazard!), plumbing pipes, insulation, and even structural wood.
• Spread Diseases: Carry harmful bacteria and viruses like Salmonella and Hantavirus, contaminating food and surfaces through their droppings and urine.
• Reproduce Quickly: A small mouse problem can rapidly turn into a large infestation if not addressed promptly.
