Why you have Rodents:

Mice and rats have plagued human developments since caveman days. These rodents have a remarkable ability to adapt and live wherever humans live, store food products, or dispose of refuse. They are well adapted to living in and around our homes and buildings; rats are good climbers, jumpers and swimmers. Mice can fit through a hole the size of your finger tip. These rodents will enter buildings in search of food, water, and shelter. They may come from nearby fields or other buildings, or they may be transported in boats, trains, trucks, or in freight and cargo.

Since rodents are small and secretive, people are often unaware that they have these animals living within their wall voids, attic spaces, between floors, beneath the house, or behind a cabinet. Infestations are often discovered by the tell-tale signs of rat or mouse droppings or gnawed food packages. Rodents can gnaw through just about anything using their two large incisors. Sometimes they will even chew through electrical wires and start fires.

In the fall, they seek out shelters that include human housing, commercial buildings, vehicles, or boats. Rodents can contaminate food and damage buildings and property by their constant gnawing and burrowing. They also can spread diseases to people and pets. Rodents can cause damages to structures, food stocks, and perhaps most detrimental, their presence can tarnish the reputation of a business establishment.
