Mice will enter your home for food, water, and a safe place to live. Mice leave more droppings and destroy more food than they consume when they invade your food storage and pantry. Because rats and mice reproduce rapidly, even a single rodent in your home could indicate an infestation.
Rats carry diseases and can cause extensive property damage if found in or around your home. They never move alone, so if you see one, chances are there are more nearby. If they are not eradicated immediately, rats can quickly increase and reach plague proportions.
Because rodents are nocturnal, they usually only come out at night to search your kitchen and storage areas for food. If you see rats during the day, there are likely more than a few, and you should call Andy right away to prevent the infestation from spreading. Rat infestations often carry disease and are responsible for many health issues, and destroying plants and electrical wires.
Rats will eat or contaminate food, leave droppings on your countertops, floors, and surfaces, and urinate everywhere. These rodents’ fluids spread bacteria and can infect in humans with rat bite fever. Rats pose significant health risks and are to blame for the spread of other diseases, like Leptospirosis, Hantavirus, and Bubonic plague. These harmful diseases spread more easily in densely populated areas, like the urban areas of Sydney.
