Wondering why it is so important to keep rodents out of your home?
From property damage to health risks, we are sharing different dangers linked with a rodent infestation.
1: Rodents Damage Property
Rodents can chew up almost anything in your home. This includes, but is not limited to, drywall, wood, insulation, plastic pipes, blankets, clothes, and linens. If left unchecked, a rodent infestation can cause thousands of dollars in property damage. While many things can be replaced, rodents do not discriminate which objects to chew through based on their sentimental value.
2: Rodents Create Fire Hazards
One of the biggest dangers of rodents in the home is that they can chew through electrical wires, creating a serious fire hazard. This type of damage is quite common, because rodents like to nest around warm objects and areas, making electronics all the more desirable. Rodents may be responsible for as many as 20 percent of fires without a known cause. To make matters worse, many home insurance policies do not cover fires caused by a rodent infestation.
3: Rodents Spread Disease
Rodents are responsible for spreading more than 30 diseases around the world according to the Centers for Disease Control. Ticks, fleas, and mites that feed on diseased rodents can also go on to spread that infection to humans and household pets.
4: Rodents Reproduce Quickly
Once a few rodents enter your home, it does not take long for them to reproduce and create an infestation. The average female mouse, for example, reaches reproductive age at just two months old. Considering such rapid rates of reproduction and few indoor predators, rodents can take over your home in no time.
