Rats pose not only a health hazard, but also a hazard to structures. It is estimated that 20% of undetermined house fires are caused by rats. Teeth on rodents grow continuously, so they must chew on items to grind them down which can include electrical wires that can arch causing fires. Rats also pose a significant health issue as they can introduce fleas, ticks, parasites, and diseases into your home where they potentially can infect your family and pets. For those reasons, it is extremely important to contact Elite Pest Management to exterminate existing rats and to help prevent entry into your structure.
