Help! I Spotted a Rodent, What Do I Do?

Rodents are little creatures that can cause havoc! They can survive in every season and if you have just spotted a rodent at your place, it is time to hire rodent pest control and get rid of them quickly before you are over run with rats and mice!

Rodents may look cute and cuddly in a Disney movie but they are a big threat in the real life. Their teeth continuously grow over their lifetime and they use your household items to gnaw to keep their incisors trimmed –causing a lot of damage.

Rats can gnaw through substances as hard as a cinder block and lead sheeting by using its teeth and jaw. They’re a big threat to your family’s health as they can spread at least 35 diseases such as Hantavirus and Rat-bite fever.

Despite their tiny size, rodents can cause damage on an enormous scale. Their droppings, urine, saliva and sweat excretions can spread disease and bacteria but luckily for us, these signs  also make much easier to spot a rodent infestation and get rid of them.

Normally, a female mouse can give birth to 15 litters in one year and can get pregnant again within 24 hours after giving birth. Rats can start reproducing when they reach just six weeks of age!  So, it doesn’t take too long for rats to build their own army, and invade every crack and crevice in your home. If you don’t get on top of a rodent problem early, you will have a much bigger, dirtier and difficult problem down the line!

Below are some steps you can take when you suspect you may have a rodent infestation.

  • Stop feeding animals and birds outdoors when you suffer a wave of rodent infestation as it leaves residue that works as a food for rodents.
  • Use containers with tight-fitting lids to store your food items in the kitchen.
  • Dispose of your garbage regularly and keep your kitchen clear of empty bottles or containers that may be attractive to rodents.
  • Keep rodents out of your home by sealing holes and potential entry points.

If you have musophobia (fear of rodents) and are tired of trying to manage the problem yourself, call a professional!
