Rats and Mice: Damage They Can Wreak On Your Property

Rodents like rats and mice can cause great deal of damage to building, office, homes and virtually any kind of structure through chewing, gnawing, nibbling and defecating. They get in to your homes when outside environment is not favorable to live, and once they enter your homes they will find hidden spaces and build their nests. In order to construct nests they will collect construction materials out of your household items and in the process damage expensive articles. They will continue to do so if you do not check them at once and call BBPP the expert mouse exterminator Vaughan and get rid of them at once.

Damage caused by rodents

Property damage

  • Mice will rip in to your sofa and upholstery and take the stuffing for making cozy nests for their young ones. They don’t care whether your sofa is new or old while doing it.
  • They will chew on anything they get when they are hungry and in the process eat in to insulation, cut wires, damage electric panels, and chew gnaw and bite wood, paper, books, clothing etc.
  • Your home insulation is a favorite hideout so they will tunnel inside your walls either to make a comfortable home or find building materials for nests
  • Mice are known to slice live wires and cause fires in homes, which is a real threat you may have to face
  • Mice and rats will set up on your home appliances and render them defunct by chewing and slicing wiring. You may have to undertake expensive repairs to render them.
  • Mice will get in to any place that they deem fit for building nests. They won’t spare your car garage, barn, outhouses, attic, basement, closet, wardrobe, and storage rooms. Your personal vehicle is in danger if mice find their way into your garage.
  • Mice may even hide in pockets of overcoats that are unused for a long time.
  • They may even damage family heirlooms when they are in the process of creating space for building their nests.

Mice and rats find dark, humid and isolated places ideal for building nests because you rarely venture into them. You and your family members are at risk of catching contagious diseases spread by mice droppings, urine and saliva. You can see a trail of their droppings in rodent runways and other lonely places in your home. If you come in contact with them you are likely to be infected by deadly diseases.

Food damage

Food smells attract mice a great deal so they target your dining area, food preparation area and kitchen. They come looking for leftovers on the table and food preparation counters. They will also dive in to your garbage bins to find food. If they fail to get food the easy way they will get it through the hard way such as ripping and opening new food packets, cutting in to thin plastic food containers, tearing sacks of grains. During this process they waste and contaminate food articles more than they actually eat. In the garden they will dig up newly planted and eat, dig burrows to build hideouts and also eat birdseeds that you keep outside. They always defecate when they are in the process of eating and spread surface contamination all over your kitchen and food storage.
