Wild mice and rats are unwanted guests in homes. They can bite, cause physical damage to homes, consume and contaminate food, cause diseases and carry fleas or ticks that can also favour the spread of many diseases. Rats and mice can breed rapidly and adapt quickly to changing conditions - so the key is to take action immediately.
Rodents not only spoil food and chew through many materials, including electrical wires which can then cause fires, but they are also known to spread a large number of human diseases, from mild short lived diseases to severe diseases that can cause death. They are associated with diseases like typhus, salmonellosis, Weil’s disease (leptospirosis) or Rat-bite fever ( Sprillium minus) Their urine droplets can cause allergies and rodents can also bring fleas, mites, ticks and lice into your home.
Rodents are nocturnal, they are active during the night; therefore if you see one during the day it is likely that there are many more hiding in your home.
