Rodents
Updated: July 22, 2021
Description:
Rodents are warm-blooded mammals that, like humans, can be found all over the world. They have large front teeth for gnawing and incisors, which are adapted for chewing. Rodents chew a variety of items available to them and cause extensive damage in and around homes.
Habits:
Rodent infestations can cause considerable damage to infested buildings and local agriculture. Rodents are also known carriers of many diseases and pose a health hazard to humans. Rodent populations grow quickly and constantly. Rodent control is best initiated before infestations. In order to protect your home, garden, and health from existing rodent infestations, professional and customized solutions are often necessary.
Defense:
- Rodents tend to be rapid breeders. Some species breed year-round, and populations are maintained through constant reproduction. Due to a rodent's body plan, they are able to squeeze through openings that seem to be too small for them. All such openings must be sealed to prevent rodent entry and re-entry.
