Greenwood Rodent Removal

All About Rodents

Mice and rats are a fairly common problem no matter where you live, including Greenwood, Indiana. Rodents will often take up residence inside your property and shortly thereafter begin making a family. Here are some interesting facts about rats and mice:

  • Rats and mice can live from 6 months all the way to 3 years.
  • Some rat species can breed as often as every 2-3 months, producing up to 12 offspring each time.
  • Mice start breeding as young as 1-2 months old. While their litters are often smaller, they are more frequent so they can increase more quickly than rats.

Locating and eliminating them early to prevent large families from nesting on your property.

Rodents Infestation

Not only are most people disgusted by the thought of rats or mice in their home, but these also pose a number of health threats. Mice and rats have been documented to carry:

  • Plague
  • South American Arenaviruses
  • Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis
  • Leptospirosis
  • Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever
  • Salmonellosis

Clearly, not all rodents will carry diseases. However, they can still be a nuisance around your home because they will chew on everything. These will try to raid your food, and may contaminate it if successful. Rats will chew through anything that sits between them and food. In fact, they will even chew through a wall if they think food is on the other side. They typically live in nests they formed from shredded grocery sacks, paper, clothing, and whatever material is nearby. Generally you will find their nests in walls, boxes, behind kitchen appliances, or in the cupboards.

Preventing Rodents From Entering Your Property

They don’t have to chew a very large hole either because they can squeeze through tiny openings. In fact, mice can squeeze through a nickel-size hole and rats through a half-dollar size hole. This is usually how mice and rats originally gain entry into a property. They squeezed through some tiny hole that went unnoticed. That is why it is very important that any rodent control measures include finding the gaps and holes that allowed entry in the first place. This is a service that our specialists can perform for you.
