How Do Mice and Rats Damage Homes?
Without a pest control service, both rats and mice cause structural damage to homes and buildings. They do so by gnawing and nest-building.
Mice build nests and will gnaw and chew on anything that they can use to do so. That could be wood, plastic, paper or just about anything. They will burrow into insulation to create a nest. Mice can chew through wires in your electrical system which can lead to house fires.
Rats and mice in your home and yard can cause serious problems and require pest control. Not only do they pose a health risk, they can cause major damage to your home.

Removing rodents with traps or poisons will not keep rodents out of your home in the future. To permanently keep rats and mice out of your home or business, you will need to prevent access by sealing all possible entry points as well as monthly/bi-monthly exterior treatments. It is equally important to eliminate rodent attractions such as food and water by keeping food in tightly sealed containers and repairing leaky pipes.
