Introduction: What are rodents and why are they a problem?

Rats and mice are rodents and they pose a number of problems for humans.

1) Rats carry disease. They can also transmit these diseases to humans through any contact with their excrement or by biting someone.

2) Rats cause structural damage to buildings by gnawing on wood, electrical wires, insulation, and other parts of the building materials. This causes wiring problems that can lead to fires. When this happens, a rodent control company needs to be called.

3) Rodents transmit parasites which can live in their fur or feces that can be ingested by humans if they come into contact with it.

4) Rodents eat food meant for human consumption which makes them a nuisance to restaurants, grocery stores, and other places where food is served or processed.
