Customer Reviews
South Bend homeowners have their share of rodent problems, and at Termishield Termite & Pest Protection, we get a lot of calls for house rodent removal, especially when the weather turns colder. The types of rodents we find are rats, mice, and voles. People often notice mice in cupboards, pantries, basements, and other places in their homes. Rats can appear in the same places but are not as easily spotted. Given the dangers of having a rodent infestation, it's important to call for help at your first sighting. At Termishield Termite & Pest Protection, we'll come and get rid of all rodents quickly and help you prevent them from coming back. We take care of our customers and deliver the best pest control in South Bend. For those that are dealing with an infestation, here are some things you should know.
#1 Rodents Are Scavengers
One of the things you may not know about rodents in South Bend is they are scavengers. They are constantly moving on the lookout for food, water, and nesting material. They often do their scavenging at night, under the cover of darkness. This is the time you are most likely to hear rodents in walls. If you've ever gotten up in the middle of the night for a glass of water in the kitchen, you may have startled a scavenging mouse or two when you turned on the light. This can be quite a surprise and also one of the first signs of a dangerous problem.
#2 Rodents' Teeth Never Stop Growing
Did you know rodents' teeth are forever growing? Imagine what a problem that creates for them, as it makes eating and even drinking very difficult. They solve the problem the only way they instinctively know how – they gnaw on things to keep their teeth from growing too long. No, they're not gnawing on your things to annoy you; there's an important purpose. That's why when you have rodents in your South Bend home you will start to see gnaw marks on almost anything from building materials to wires, plastic, furniture, toys, and much more.
#3 Rodents Spread Disease
You read that right, mice, voles, and rats in South Bend carry a number of contagious diseases. If you can imagine the places they run through and the things they feed on, like decaying organic matter and carcasses of animals, you can understand why they can make you sick when they contaminate your food and surfaces with their saliva, urine, and excrement. The diseases rodents spread include:
- Salmonellosis
- Hantavirus
- Tularemia
- Leptospirosis
- Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM)
Rodents are also notorious for carrying mites, ticks, and fleas into a home, and these small pests have their own diseases that can spread to you and your family. Now that you know the health hazards rodents can present, you can see the importance of calling our professionals when you see just one rodent or find evidence of their presence. We quickly and efficiently get rid of rodents and keep them from coming back.
