Why call a rat exterminator?
The presence of rats on a property can pose significant risks as well as being a nuisance. Hiring a rat exterminator is vital in order to protect yourself and your home.
Prevent damage to your home
Like many rodents, rats tend to gnaw on anything they can find in order to eat, build their nests and make their way through obstacles. Since their teeth continue to grow throughout their lives, the rodents are forced to gnaw constantly to keep them worn down. This destructive habit can have serious consequences for the occupants of a house. In addition to furniture, insulation, foundations and water pipes, rats can chew through electrical wires, leading to short circuits that can have dramatic consequences.
Protect against health risks
Rats can also carry bacteria and diseases that are dangerous to humans. During their nocturnal escapades, they may end up contaminating food or drinking water and transmitting disease orally.
They can also transmit disease through bites, urine, droppings and hairs. Pets and insects can also contribute indirectly to the spread of bacteria and disease.
Therefore, it’s important to act quickly at the first sign of a potential infestation. Pest prevention services are also available to prevent an infestation from occurring in the first place.
