Understanding Rodent Damage in Your Home
Rodents can wreak havoc throughout homes across Tennessee. According to the National Pest Management Association, rodents invade approximately 21 million homes in the United States each winter, causing both property damage and potential health concerns.
Destructive Behaviors of Common Rodents
Rats cause extensive structural damage by gnawing through materials including wood, drywall, and even electrical wiring which creates dangerous fire hazards. Their strong teeth can chew through PVC pipes, leading to costly water damage and plumbing issues. Mice, while smaller, create their own challenges by contaminating food sources with droppings and urine. They build nests in wall voids using insulation and paper materials, compromising your home's thermal efficiency and potentially damaging important documents.
