If you hear scratching in your walls or see small droppings on your floor or counter, you may have rodents in your Mesa home. Some different Arizona rodents could be living with you. You might be tempted to take the DIY approach, but thanks to the variety of diseases rodents can carry, you should call a Mesa pest control company such as Wave Pest Services as soon as possible for a free inspection.
Identifying A Rodent Problem In Your House
You can tell if you have a rodent problem in your home if you find droppings; chewed-on boxes, furniture, or walls; nests in your basement, garage, or rarely-used vehicles; or damaged food. Different rodents may leave different signs. Deer mice, for example, prefer the outdoors, so you’re more likely to find them under your deck, in your garage, in your attic, or in your outbuildings.
Roof rats, on the other hand, get their name from their tendency to live in the upper levels of homes. You may hear scratching sounds coming from your ceilings or walls, discover chewed-up electrical wires (which cause a fire hazard), or find droppings that are half an inch long and pointed on the ends.
The Dangerous Diseases Rodents Are Known To Spread
The most common types of rodents in the Mesa area are pack rats, roof rats, house mice, and deer mice. Between them, they can carry a variety of diseases, including:
- Hantavirus
- Leptospirosis
- Tularemia
- Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
- Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCM)
- Rat Bite Fever
These illnesses can cause a variety of symptoms, from headaches and fevers to abdominal pain, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. Some can even result in kidney or liver damage or even death.
Why Traps Won’t Get Rid Of The Entire Rodent Infestation
Traps are not an effective means to get rid of rodents for several reasons. If you set the traps bare-handed, rodents will smell you on the traps and steer clear. If you use the wrong bait, they won’t be tempted. Cheese is one of the worst foods to use, so you should use peanut butter instead. If you put the traps anywhere but flush against a wall, the rodents would have to be pretty desperate to try for the food there.
Traps also aren’t effective because there are just too many rodents in your house. For example, if you have house mice, a mature female can give birth every three weeks, having up to 35 babies every year. You might temporarily reduce the population with traps, but they won’t get rid of the entire infestation.
Traps also don’t solve the underlying problem of how rodents are getting into your home in the first place. The pros can help you eliminate the entire infestation, eliminate entry points for future rodents, and prevent rodents from returning to your Mesa home.
