RUTLAND, MA PEST CONTROL

Why are mice and other rodents dangerous?

While mice may look kind of cute and cuddly, they can cause major problems for Rutland home owners, and in some cases can even be quite dangerous. The most serious issues presented by mice and other rodents are:

• Fire hazard from chewing through electrical wires.

• Structural damage to home.

• Contaminating food and other surfaces.

• Can spread sicknesses and disease including Salmonella, Hantavirus and more. 

• Often introduce fleas, ticks and other pests into your home.

Signs of Mice in Your Rutland Home

Mice and rats are very rapid reproducers, and can quickly infest your home before you even realize it. It is important to keep an eye out for signs of rodent activity to be able to treat the problem early before a severe infestation develops. Some of these signs of mice and rodent activity can include:

• The most obvious sign is mouse droppings. They are about ¼ inch in length and are generally found near the food source. 

• Another common sign is their nest. Nests are often made from shredded newspaper, cardboard or other paper like substances. 

• Scratching noises in the wall or ceiling. 

• Damage from gnawing on wood or other hard surfaces.

Unfortunately, our homes provide the perfect paradise for these unwanted guests.
