Why are rats and mice considered pests?

Rats can be really stubborn once they manage to get right into your residential property and it is essential to eliminate them before they spread conditions, dirt food, and also damage the property.

• A rat does not have to enter your house in order to present a threat. They can be dangerous just by remaining in the backyard or outdoor areas given that these are areas may be often visited by pets as well as children.

• Rats impact people and also their atmosphere in a number of ways, including:

• Destroying the insulation of your residence or organisation.

• Eating electrical cables in the roof area, triggering a fire risk.

• Destabilising hillsides or structures such as keeping walls by burrowing.

• Create illnesses as well as polluting foods with bacteria (like salmonella) through their pee or droppings.

• Spreading conditions (e.g. leptospirosis, rickettsial conditions, typhus, Hantavirus, and trichinosis) and also death through bloodsuckers like intestinal worms and also fleas.

• Ruining doors, books, upholstery, food containers as well as skirting boards.
