Common rodent pest types.

Rats and mice reproduce rapidly, meaning an infestation of a breeding pair of rodents can soon lead to rat or mouse populations, getting out of controls in no time, necessitating the services of professional pest controllers to resolve the problem before it gets out of hand.
Property damage caused by rodents.
Rodent teeth continually grow and this means they must gnaw on abrasive materials to wear them down in order to stop their incisors becoming overgrown. Rodents inside buildings can prove disastrous due to their gnawing tendencies, causing damage to electrical wiring, plumbing gas lines and more recently under floor heating systems. Rodent infestation carries the risk of electrocution, electrical fires, the failure of electrical appliances and flooding and in some cases damage to structure this being celina
Health risks posed by rodents.
Rats and mice are notorious vectors of disease that they spread, for the most part, through their urine and faeces. Rodents can also transmit external parasites such as fleas, ticks and lice which can also spread disease as well as internal parasites such as tapeworms. Common diseases transmitted by rats and mice include Leptospirosis, Salmonellosis and Rat-scratch fever while ticks that parasitise rodents can cause Lyme’s Disease.
