Sanitation is critical for lasting rodent control, but sanitation alone will not necessarily prevent a rodent infestation. Mice and rats infiltrate homes through openings smaller than a quarter, entering homes by means of improperly sealed openings such as cracks in the foundation, garage doors, chimneys, wall voids, and crawl space covers. Mice, rats, squirrels and raccoons are the most common rodents to invade homes and businesses looking for shelter and food, often infesting attics, garages, the inside of walls and basements. Once rodents have infested a building they can cause structural damage, chew wiring, destroy insulation, and create a general health risk for the occupants. Rodent control is an essential part of any integrated residential pest control or commercial pest control program.
Rodents can carry up to 35 diseases that humans are susceptible to. They also frequently infect the food that they come into contact with as well as potentially causing structural damage with their chewing and nesting. The most effective method of rodent control is exclusion, but if your home or business is already suffering from a rodent infestation, Romar Pest Control has solutions and can eliminate the problem.
