Rats & Mice
Before
tackling a rodent infestation it is important to be sure what you are
dealing with. Attempting to poison squirrels could land you a hefty
fine.
Bury
Pest Control deal with Rats & Mice in Manchester, Lancashire
&
Cheshire.
The word
'Rodent' comes from the Latin 'Rodere' meaning 'to gnaw' as thier teeth
never stop growing and need to be kept sharp by constant gnawing.
Rodents
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, and sadly in the UK there
have been a small number of deaths from this idease, usually people
associated with angling or water sports.
In
addition they are capable of doing extensive damage electric cables and
even water pipes. If you have a rat infestation you have a legal duty
to remedy it.
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.
The
reproduction rate of both rats and mice is phenominal and often a
substantial infestation can build up unnoticed.
Typical costs for domestic property Rodents
