What Happens When Rats Move In?
We know that discovering rats in your property can feel like a real worry. It’s a serious health threat that endangers your family’s wellbeing and every day they remain, these intelligent rodents multiply rapidly and provide a source of disease and destruction.
That’s why we commit to always answering the phone and getting out to you as swiftly as possible – often on the same day.
Is a rat problem serious?
The problem with rats is the fact that they carry several nasty diseases, multiply fast and cause damage.
- Disease Risk: Rats carry numerous nasty diseases including Hantavirus, Salmonella, and E.coli, spread through their urine, droppings, and saliva.
- Property Damage: Rats gnaw through electrical wires, causing fire hazards, and destroy insulation, wood, and other stored items.
- Rapid Breeding: A pair of rats can produce up to 2,000 offspring in a year. What starts as a couple of rats can quickly becomes a full-scale infestation.
- Food Contamination: Rats leave bacteria and parasites on everything they touch.
- Structural Damage: Rats burrow through walls, foundations, and drainage systems, creating entry points for water damage and compromising your property’s structural integrity.
