Rodent Control: Get rid of Rats and Mice
Rodent Control is extremely important to keep you and your home safe. Many Rodents carry diseases that can be harmful to your health. Also, rats and mice can cause extensive and expensive damage to your home and property. When rats and mice are present the chances of an electrical fire increase tremendously. Rodents can damage and expose electrical wiring which, many experts believe, leads to one quarter of all house fires in the U.S. Rodents will frequently raid trash cans, citrus trees, and vegetable gardens. Rodents will leave droppings anywhere, which causes a nasty odor and leaves a foul smell if never treated properly.
