Have you been hearing squeaking and scratching in the middle of the night? Are you fed up with listening to any rats or mice scurry through your home and you want to get rid of them as soon as possible? For a lot of people, the first step to getting rid of any rats or mice that have taken up residence in their home is to go to the nearest store and purchase a trap of some kind. Although this can work sometimes, it's not necessarily the best way to go about the matter. Instead, a much better option is to get a professional to handle the rats and/or mice for you. Some of the best reasons for this include the following:
Get better identification: Rats and mice are very similar in appearance, but one method of rodent removal that works on one won't always work on the other. For instance, rats may be too big for a trap that would catch mice, and mice may be able to escape from a rat trap without triggering it. In order to be as effective as possible, it's important to know exactly what species of rodent you have to deal with. If it turns out that you actually have multiple types of rats or mice living in your home, a professional will be best poised to help you eliminate both at the same time.
Prevent diseases: Because rats and mice can carry a variety of diseases, timely rodent removal is essential to the health of your family. Unfortunately, without professional assistance, you could inadvertently find yourself exposed to these diseases. A professional will know what type of diseases are endemic to your area and what precautions need to be taken, if any, to avoid spreading illness to any people or pets in your home.
Save time: Rats and mice are both relatively smart creatures, especially compared to other household pests like ants or roaches. Where ants and roaches might be lured into a simple trap with very little effort, proper rodent removal is something that can take more time to accomplish. Professionals are going to know best what sort of tricks actually work on the rodents in question and which ones are simply worthless old wives' tales. Instead of wasting your time trying to get rid of your pests using methods that don't actually work, let a pest control professional use proven methods that will actually get rid of the rodents the first time around. Call companies like Velocity Rodent/Wildlife Control to get started with rodent removal today.
