Rodent Control

The word “rodent” comes from the Latin word “rodere,” which means “to gnaw.” Thus, rodents get their name from their primary characteristic: they are always chewing on something. This is because all rodents have constantly growing incisors, and unless they chew on things to wear down their teeth, they will grow up into their skull. Despite this unfortunate circumstance, rodents do not belong in your house, and if you find a rodent infestation, you should call the experts at Critter Control of Sarasota immediately.

Potential Rodent Damage

Rodents like rats, mice, and squirrels can do a lot of damage to your home, despite their small size. As previously noted, they will chew on nearly anything they can find to whittle down their teeth. If they are living in your attic or walls, any wooden structure and electrical wires are at risk.

Even more than their chewing, their excrement can cause serious problems. If there is a rodent infestation that has gone unchecked in your home for weeks, it is likely that there are feces and urine damaging your walls, ceilings, or attic insulation. Depending on the size of the problem, repairs can be a costly hassle.
