Are The Rodents In Chandler A Chore To Get Rid Of?

Rodents invading your Chandler property can be a nightmare. The best way to catch mice or other rodents is to trust Chandler pest control professionals to eradicate this pest for good.

Can Mice Eat Wood?

Mice, like most other rodents, are expert chewers and are constantly gnawing at the things they come across to keep their large front teeth in shape. Mice can chew through wood, and while they prefer damaged, rooting, or water-logged wood, they can chew through virtually any piece of wood they see. Behavior like this causes serious problems, as mice can damage the internal structures of your property once they invade. Proper mouse control can stop these property damages from occurring.

What Causes Mice In A Clean House?

Despite what you may think, mice don’t necessarily need a cluttered, dirty house to invade. While having an excess of trash and food around for mice to scavenge through can attract this pest, mice are likely to be attracted to areas that offer easy access to the necessities of food, water, and shelter. Even if you keep a spotless home, you may have many of these attractants on easy display for mice to invade. If you want to eliminate mice permanently, you should evaluate the factors bringing this pest to your home and work to remove them.

Are Mice Harder To Get Rid Of Than Rats?

While the diseases mice carry are serious, and this pest can be a nightmare to eliminate, mice can be easier to get rid of than rats. Rats tend to be more aggressive and are more prone to biting, making them more dangerous. Rats can also remove the lure from traps without triggering them, which mice can often not achieve. In either case, professionals should deal with an infestation of mice or rats, as that is the only way to ensure the total removal of your rodent problem in Chandler.
