Rodent Rundown: Keeping These Dangerous Pests Away From Your Germantown Property

|

There are many different types of rodents, each with their own habits and behaviors, but as a whole, rodents are highly resourceful pests that can make maximum use of their environment to survive. Rodents breed quickly; they can climb and swim well. Rodents are highly alert pests that can detect danger from extended distances and move quickly to avoid it. These traits help rodents survive in the wild and help them thrive in urban environments. 

Rodent control in Germantown is critical to maintain a pest-free home. Pest and Wildlife Solvers understands this, and we want to help. Call today for help with rodents. 

Signs Of Rodent Activity: How To Detect A Problem Early

Rodents in Germantown can cause you a lot of grief if they infest your home, especially when infestations are allowed to enlarge. Here are some signs of rodent visitation to your property so you can initiate rodent control efforts as soon as possible: 

  • Holes or gnaw marks: Many rodents will chew through storage containers, and some will chew holes into walls and baseboards.

  • Droppings: Most rodents leave telltale droppings behind in areas they frequent. You will often find these droppings near food sources.

  • Trails: Rodents tend to leave trails on floors, walkways, and even landscaping features in areas they frequently travel.

  • Hair: Rodents can leave hair behind in places they frequent. These hairs are usually short and either light or dark brown.

  • Contaminated food: Rodents are highly attracted to food stored in pantries and will readily pursue it. Once they get inside, rodents can contaminate the food and make it unfit for consumption.

Rodent Dangers: Health Risks And Property Damage

Rodents can cause considerable damage to your property. Squirrels, mice, and rats can severely damage wiring and insulation behind walls, forcing expensive repairs. Some rodents can cause significant damage to your landscaping and yard. Finally, rodents can track infectious pathogens like salmonella and E. coli into your house, where you can come into contact with them. Rodents can also be highly destructive in your pantry, and don’t care how much damage they cause if they get a meal out of it.
