Rodents and rats in your attic can cause more than just some sleepless nights. These unwelcome guests pose significant health and safety risks for you and your family. Whether they are spreading disease or causing structural damages, a rodent infestation is a serious issue that requires immediate action.

Rodents are a petri dish of diseases, including hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis. Their droppings, pee, or even salvia can contaminate food and living spaces, which can lead to potential health concerns. Additionally, rodent dander, urine, and droppings can cause allergies and asthma attacks – especially in children and people with respiratory sensitivities.

Beyond health concerns, rodents pose significant safety hazards. They are famous for chewing on electrical wires, which can cause fires. Additionally, rodents can eat through wood, insulation, and at times even pipes, which can cause structural damage to your attic and entire home. Stored items in your attic are also at risk, as rodents can easily access and contaminate them.

Recognizing the signs of a rodent infestation is essential for early action. If you think you might have a rodent issue, look for small, dark droppings in your attic or around entry points. Look for bite marks on wires, pipes, and wooden beams, and keep an eye out for nests, which will be made of shredded paper, insulation, or other materials. If you hear scratching and scurrying noises coming from the attic, especially at night, rodents are likely your issue. And most obviously, if you see dead rodents within your attic space you likely have a big issue.
