Rodents
Rats and mice have been responsible for some of the worst disease epidemics in history, including the spread of leptospirosis and typhus fever. These rodents are notorious for contaminating food and belongings with their hair, droppings, and urine, which can result in food poisoning, unpleasant odors, and food spoilage. In addition, rodents can carry fleas or ticks that can harm humans and pets. Finally, rodents can cause physical damage to your property gnawing through timber, food containers, particle board, insulation, and electrical wiring.
If you happen to notice any signs of a rat or mouse infestation in your home, it is highly that you take the necessary steps to contact The Bug Specialist for their expert pest control services. Some of the most common of a rodent infestation include the presence of rodent waste, which is typically characterised by shiny, very dark brown or black droppings can be up to 2cm in length for rats and smaller for mice. Additionally, urine stains may be present and can range in colour from dark brown to yellow, with a strong ammonia-like odour. Another sign to look out for is the presence of gnawed or chewed areas, which can be small in size. If you happen to come across any live or dead rodents, it is important to avoid touching them without wearing protective gloves and a mask. Lastly, if you notice any unusual noises or odors, such as sounds coming from the walls, floor, or roof, combined with an ammonia or musty smell, it may be an indication that you need to seek pest control services for mice and rats.
