Rodents are a menace whether they enter
your property or not. Rodents like mouse, rats, squirrel, skunk etc may enter
your property and wreak havoc. On the other hand rodents like moles generally
don’t enter the building, but they can wreak havoc in your garden, yard or
other places outside the house. If there is a mole infestation in your garden
or yard, you can identify that.
You can see mounds of earth in the yard or
the garden. If it is in the garden, you can see some plants coming off the
ground. You may also find tree barks coming off from the base itself. However,
if it is a mouse, rat or squirrel infestation, the signs may well be within
your house. You may find rodent poops strewn all over your property. You are
also likely to hear scratching and screeching sounds at night. Whatever be the
type of rodent, it is harmful for your property as well as for your family
members. Call Rodent Removal Atlanta services

The Danger of Infestation
Rodent infestation is not only harmful for

is poisonous, and your children or pets can fall sick due to these. The
creature may die of starvation in crevices and gaps in your property if they
are unable to come out of these places. This may also causes diseases. Animals
like mouse and squirrel may chew up furniture and disfigure or destabilize
them. They may also chew up electrical insulations and cause a house fire. Some
of them may also damage water supply lines and cause inundation in house.
How to Remove Them
The Rodent removal Atlanta personnel use
traps to catch them. There are different types of traps for different types of
rodents. They use different types of rat traps, squirrel traps, mouse traps,
glue boards etc. However, they don’t use snap traps or poison to kill the
animals. They use live animal traps. Normally they use multiple catch live
animal traps if there is a rodent infestation in your property. They also don’t
use the glue traps normally since such traps can also catch other unintended
animals like lizards and birds and also your pet. They usually place the traps
along the routes of animal thoroughfare. So you can see traps along the walls
or behind the electrical appliances or furniture in your home. They would
obviously place some traps in the attic too since it is where you can find most
of the rodents, be it the squirrel, rat or mouse. They may also place the traps
in high activity areas such as places where the rodents forage for food or
places where they may make another hideout. In fact, they may place several
traps since rats and mice as well as squirrel can spread to nooks and corners
of your property.
