Blackpool Pest Control
Rats & MiceRats and Mice are universally reviled and with good reason, especially in holiday homes, hotels and guesthouses where a sighting of an unwelcome guest can ruin a hardwon reputation. It may be funny for Basil Fawlty but not when your livelihood is at risk.
The first indication of a rodent infestation is often sounds in the attic or loft. It is important to get the species correctly identified before using poisons.
Rats and Mice invade our homes looking for food and shelter mainly in the Autumn and winter but can be found at any time of the year. Often an infestation will go unnoticed for some time as they are very secretive and by nature nocturnal creatures.
They are capable of spreading disease and damaging electric wiring by their constant gnawing. Rats carry a particularly unpleasant and sometimes fatal disease called Wiel's Disease which is spread from their urine. Sadly on average this claims the life of at least one person in the U.K. each year.They are also capable of doing intensive damage both to electrical wiring and water pipes.
Mice have little in the way of a bladder and therefore dribble a constant stream of urine as they move across surfaces and when in contact with food preparation surfaces then serious contamination can occur.
Caution:- Should you be unlucky enough to have a rodent chew through a water pipe or electrical cable you are unlikely to be covered on your existing household insurance policy as most invalidate damage caused by rodents, which includes squirrels.
