Protect your home and your family from Rats & Mice

Rats and mice getting into a home is a very serious problem and should be treated as an extremely urgent matter. Nearly a dozen of diseases are directly linked to them and represent a high risk for children, pets and for everyone.

They are very persistent and if they gain access to your premises, they will cause huge damage to your house and your belongings and will contaminate your food.

Rats and mice have a natural and constant gnawing habit. Their teeth grow continuously and they need to gnaw on plastic and wood to keep them trim. This means that they will “ eat up” our plastic containers and furniture!

Associated risks to Rats and Mice

Rats and mice represent a significant high health risk for humans as they carry numerous severe diseases such as salmonella and E-coli (Gastro-enteritis). Other associated risks to these rodents are:

• Damage: They can chew your electrical cables, causing fire, and damage your home’s insulation. Rats can chew everything in your home, including floor joints.
• Introducing other parasites: If they gain access to your home or business, they can bring along lice, ticks and fleas.
• Breeding: Rats and mice breed rapidly and uncontrollably if left untreated.
• Fear: The presence of rats and mice on your premises creates fear and anxiety.
