Infestations of rats or mice can cause diseases and damage to the structure of buildings; for example gnawed electrical wires are a potential fire hazard. Rodents will cause damage to food and stock leading to financial losses, and if conditions are good, rodents can breed and spread rapidly.
The diseases rodents carry are Weil's disease (leptospirosis), salmonella, listeria, toxoplasma and the fleas of rats are famous for the spreading of Bubonic plague.
In short, rodents are a real problem if they get into your property and should be dealt with without any hesitation. Asland Pest Control are experienced in the control of rats and mice and committed to the use of up to date legal methods of control.
