Rat Removal and Control in Seattle

Nuisance Concerns: Rats are a nuisance species for many reasons. The first complaint that most people have is due to the noise they cause scurrying about and scratching inside the home. Many people don't call to have their rat problem solved until the rats break into the home proper and start to chew on and contaminate food items in the house. However, if you've got rats in the attic or walls, they are causing many problems. First of all, rats chew and gnaw all of the time to wear down their rodent teeth. They often chew on electrical wires, creating a potential for shorts or fire hazards. They also leave a lot of feces and urine, and can contaminate a home. Rats carry a variety of diseases, such as Rat-bite fever (Streptobacillus moniliformis bacteria), Rickettsia virus, Hantavirus, Eosinophilic Meningitis. The droppings of rats can cause Leptospirosis or Salmonellosis.

You Found Rat Droppings Or Mouse Droppings, What now? - Finding rat droppings or mouse droppings anywhere in your home can be a cause for concern. Where are they hiding? Do these mice carry disease? There are some places where you will be more likely to find droppings and they include the attic, basement and anywhere that you store food that they can get into. That is why it is important to make sure those cabinets and pantries are secured so that you do not end up getting a family of mice living near their steady food source.

When you find the mice droppings or mouse droppings in your home you should do a few things first. You should check all food items to make sure that they have not been tampered with, if they have been, then throw them away. Clean the place where the droppings were found with a good cleaner. You can then use some sort of repellent to make sure that they do not come back, and if they do then perhaps it is time to call an exterminator. You can have an idea of how many mice are in your home because of the droppings. It is possible that it is a single mouse, but in most cases there will be more than one.
