Rats and Mice
Rats and mice can be found in homes, buildings, sheds and garages.
Rats and mice are the most abundant and therefore the more annoying and destructive of all rodents the homeowner or business owner may encounter. Throughout history, they have been responsible for more human illnesses and deaths than any other mammals. The most common are the Norway Rat, the Roof Rat and the House Mouse.
They are offensive in many ways
- They eat and contaminate all types of food.
- They damage and destroy property.
- They carry diseases that are health hazards to both humans and animals - diseases such as typhus fever, Trichinosis, plague, infectious jaundice, Salmonella food infections, and rat mite dermatitis.
Identification of a rat and/or mouse infestation
The signs of a rat or mouse infestation include droppings, tracks in the moist earth or dusty places, and burrows in the ground. There will be signs of gnawing and runways in the grass or through trash. You also can smell the presence of rats and mice, especially in a poorly ventilated room.
