Rodentia

Destructive Pests That Multiply Fast

Rodents contaminate food, spread diseases, and cause property damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and structures. A single mouse can produce 50+ offspring per year, and they can squeeze through openings as small as a dime.

SIGNS OF INFESTATION

  • Droppings along walls, in cabinets, and under sinks
  • Gnaw marks on food packaging, wires, and wood
  • Scratching and scurrying sounds at night
  • Greasy rub marks along baseboards and walls
  • Nests made of shredded materials
  • Ammonia-like smell from urine

PREVENTION TIPS

  • Seal all holes larger than 1/4 inch
  • Keep food in rodent-proof containers
  • Remove outdoor debris and woodpiles near home
