The Dangers of a Rodent Infestation

A rodent problem is much more than a simple nuisance; it's a significant threat to both your property and your family's health. Rats and mice are destructive and can introduce a host of hazards into your home. Understanding these risks is the first step toward realizing why professional intervention is so important.

• Health Risks and Disease: Rodents are known carriers of various diseases, including Hantavirus and Salmonellosis, which can be transmitted through their droppings, urine, and saliva. They can contaminate food preparation surfaces and stored food items, posing a serious health risk.
• Structural and Electrical Damage: Rodents have teeth that constantly grow, leading them to gnaw on anything available. This includes electrical wires, which create a serious fire hazard, as well as PVC pipes, wood beams, and drywall, leading to costly structural repairs.
• Insulation and Ductwork Contamination: Attics and crawlspaces are common nesting sites. Rodents will shred insulation for nesting material, reducing your home's energy efficiency. They also contaminate insulation and air ducts with their waste, which can circulate allergens and bacteria.
• Introduction of Other Pests: Rodents can also bring other pests like fleas, ticks, and mites into your home, creating a secondary infestation that presents its own set of problems for your family and pets.

These dangers make it clear that a rodent infestation cannot be ignored. Prompt and thorough action is necessary to eliminate the current population and secure your home from future entry.

Types of Rodents We Handle 

We are proud to be a licensed and insured team with decades of experience in pest management and rodent control in Cape Coral. Whether you’re dealing with an active rodent infestation or seeking preventive measures, you can count on our in-depth service to protect your property from nuisance rodents. 

Our rodent control services in Cape Coral include treating the most common local species:

• Palm rats – Also called roof rats, tree rats, citrus rats, or black rats, these rodents are highly adaptable and thrive in Cape Coral’s abundance of palm trees, shrubs, and nearby water sources. They frequently invade roofs, attics, and treetops, making them a notorious problem in residential properties across the city.
• Norway rats – Larger and lighter-colored than palm rats, Norway rats typically reside outdoors but frequently enter buildings searching for food and water. Particularly common in downtown Cape Coral and urban areas, they’re well known for burrowing and causing foundational damage.
• Eastern woodrats – Less common but occasionally encountered in the Cape Coral and Fort Myers region, eastern woodrats—often referred to as “pack rats”—gather and stash various small items. They may become a concern if a structure is located near wooded lots or natural preserves.
• House mice – While smaller, house mice can cause as much disruption and property damage as larger rats. With the ability to adapt quickly to new environments and multiply rapidly, these rodents are a common concern for both homeowners and business owners throughout the Cape Coral area.
