Rodent Infestation
When rodents invade your home, it’s not just a nuisance; it can be a health hazard for everyone living in your home. Rodents can very easily spread diseases simply through the air they contaminate. They also cause a great deal of structural damage to your home by ripping up your insulation and precious belongings. Below we’ve listed some of the most common rodents in the Ft. Worth area, how you can detect them, and how to get rid of them.
Rodents You’ll See
- Rats- Will chew anything they can get their paws on. Since their teeth are always growing, they are always chewing. They can reproduce 4-6 times a year and love to make homes in your warm attic.
- Mice- These critters may seem cute and cuddly, but they can reproduce at a staggering rate and can inflict a lot of structural damage to your home.
- Squirrels- These bushy-tailed critters spend their free time scratching and chewing their way through your roof. They love to use your attic insulation as nesting for their young, which can drive your energy bills through the roof.
