Rodents include not just rats and mice, but also squirrels, and all three of them can do considerable damage if they find their way into your home. All of them have teeth which continue to grow throughout their lives, so in order to wear them down they have to continually chew on things. When they get into your home, they can get into your loft, under floorboards, and into cavity walls, and they will often chew electric wiring and in the loft rip up your fibre glass insulation. So if you should be unlucky enough to have them enter your home, you will need some form of rodent control in Peterborough.
Rats and mice can squeeze through the tiniest of gaps, while squirrels can run along gutters and get in under the eaves. They can jump off a tree on to your roof if there is one nearby. Squirrels can dig holes in your lawn, damage bird feeders, cause damage to fruit and vegetables, and also damage trees and bird tables. You may hear distinctive scurrying sounds in your loft, and that could be squirrels, rats, or mice.
If you have rats in your home, you will most certainly need rodent control in Peterborough in order to ensure that you get rid of them all and to secure your home so that they cannot gain entry in future. Using rat poison is not to be recommended if you are not a professional, because you may lay it somewhere that it could be found by pets or other stray animals. You may see rat droppings which are dark brown and similar to a grain of rice: rats can produce about 40 droppings every night. Rats also make a chattering noise as they run about under the floorboards or in the loft, which is called bruxing. You may also see greasy marks on skirting boards where the rats run along close to the wall and it rubs off their fur.
For any sort of rodent control in Peterborough you should call in a professional pest control company in order to get the job done properly.
