How To Get Rid of Mice and Rats
Big or Small - We Exterminate Them All!

If you’ve noticed mouse droppings, gnaw marks on pantry items, or discovered a nest inside your home, you need to contact Small Town Pest Control immediately. Rodents like house mice and rats can quickly get out of control and cause major damage and health risks.

Rat or Mouse Problems

Dealing with a rat or mouse infestation in your home can be incredibly frustrating and stressful. These small creatures can cause a multitude of problems that disrupt your peace of mind and daily life. Here are some common frustrations homeowners may experience:

  1. Property Damage: Rats and mice have a constant need to gnaw on things to keep their teeth from growing too long. Unfortunately, this means they can chew through electrical wires, insulation, wood, and even plastic pipes. This not only poses a safety hazard but can also lead to costly repairs and potential fire risks.

  2. Contamination and Disease: Rats and mice are known carriers of various diseases and bacteria, such as salmonella, hantavirus, and leptospirosis. They leave droppings, urine, and hair behind, contaminating surfaces and food sources in your home. The risk of illness to you and your family is a major concern.

  3. Unpleasant Odors: Rodents have a distinct, unpleasant odor that can quickly permeate your living spaces. Their urine and droppings emit a strong, pungent smell that is difficult to eliminate without proper pest control measures.

  4. Food and Pet Supply Damage: Rats and mice are relentless when it comes to finding food sources. They can contaminate stored food, pet food, and pantry items, forcing you to throw away potentially expensive groceries. Additionally, they may damage pet supplies like bedding or chew through containers in search of food.

  5. Sleep Disturbance: The activity of rats and mice is primarily nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night. Their scurrying, scratching, and gnawing sounds can keep you awake, leading to sleep deprivation and fatigue.

  6. Emotional Stress: Having unwanted rodents in your home can cause emotional distress and anxiety. The feeling of invasion and the fear of potential health risks can create an uncomfortable living environment for you and your family.
