What damage rodents can cause?
Property damage
Rats and mice can cause extensive structural damage to homes, offices and shops and any other building through gnawing, chewing, scratching, biting, and shredding. They will leave furniture defaced by gnawing, rip open sofa covers and pull out stuffing, tear carpet edges and upholstery. They will set up on home appliances, switch panels, and electric wiring and cut cables and wires to render them useless. They can also accidentally set fire by electric short circuit. They will damage insulation and use the material for nest building. They will target documents, precious paperbacks, clothing, spongy material, plastic bags, and card board boxes to gather nesting material. Restoration of these items will cost lots of dollars. Mice can also cause malfunctions in home appliances, automobile and other gadgets where wiring is used. Rodents are incessant in their biting, nibbling and chewing because they are driven mad by their constantly growing frontal teeth and the itching they cause. Rats and mice do this to blunt the growth of their incisors and in the process end up damaging household materials.
Contamination
Surface and material contamination by rodents is imminent if you have mice at home. When rodents go hunt for nest building material and food they also defecate wherever they go. They will contaminate your household items, food and other floor surfaces with their feces the size of rice grain, ammonia smelling urine, hair and saliva. This is dangerous because the contamination will convert in to passing on lethal diseases like Hantavirus, Plague, rat-bite-fever, LCMV, Salmonellosis, and tularemia to residents. Some of these diseases can turn fatal if not administered emergency treatment and hospitalization. Rodents do not distinguish household items when they set up on achieving their ends such as finding food and collecting nest building materials. Nothing is safe from them when they set out to achieve their goals.
Rodents will contaminate food at will because they eat several meals a day and they will use your food stock such as cereal packets, plastic food containers, sack of birdseed and cattle feed, leftover food on table etc to douse the fire in their belly. During this process they also urinate on food items spilled on the floor making the waste double. Eating rodent contaminated food will cause digestive disorders and respiratory problems.
