Why Rodent Control Matters
Rodents are capable of inflicting extensive damage in both residential and commercial settings. They chew through electrical wires, insulation, wood, and even concrete, creating fire hazards and structural issues. More alarmingly, rodents carry a range of diseases—including hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella—that can be transmitted to humans through droppings, urine, bites, or contaminated food.
Moreover, their rapid reproduction means a small problem can quickly escalate into a major infestation. A single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring in just a few months, making prompt and professional intervention essential.
Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Identifying a rodent infestation early is key to preventing costly damage. Common signs include:
- Scratching or scampering noises in walls, ceilings, or under floors
- Droppings in cabinets, drawers, or along baseboards
- Chewed wires, food packaging, or furniture
- Grease marks or smudge trails along walls
- Nesting material such as shredded paper, insulation, or fabric
If any of these signs are present, it’s important to act quickly and contact Bro’s Pest Control.
