Professional Rodent Control in Arkansas

Mice and rats can be quite dangerous for a few reasons. First, they are known to contaminate food products that they come across by spreading bacteria and leaving behind urine and droppings. Second, rodents such as rats are also known to cause a lot of damage to properties around the country. They often chew through exposed wires, which can trigger a fire. Third, rodents are known carriers of diseases that they can transmit to humans through their saliva. Third, rodents often are infested with other disease-carrying pests such as ticks and fleas. The disease-carrying pests into a home or business may pose serious health concerns.

Rodents can indirectly transmit the following diseases, and more:

• Hantavirus
• Salmonellosis
• Lyme disease
• Tularemia
• Typhus
• Babesiosis

If you notice a rodent infestation in your home, it is important to contact a rodent control professional as soon as possible to get the situation inspected and properly taken care of.

Signs of a Rodent Problem

The key to minimizing damage caused by rodents is being able to identify an infestation early on. Unfortunately, rodents are extremely good at avoiding contact with humans, which means that you will need to become familiar with other signs of an infestation.

You probably have a rodent problem if:

• There are droppings under sinks, in drawers, around pantries, or near food sources
• You discover nests made of grass, leaves, paper, or trash
• There are holes chewed through floors or walls
• You can hear scampering or tapping sounds behind your walls or in your attic
• Your dogs are acting erratic and staring or barking at walls, cabinets, or the attic
