Rodent Extermination in Gaithersburg, MD

Little mice and rats can be crazy cute and very fun pets, but wild, invasive rodents are a far cry from their domesticated cousins. Slinking through sewers, scavenging through dumpsters, and then crawling into your home – these rodents are massive carriers of grime and disease. If you find yourself at the mercy of these filthy, squeaking, scampering pests, it is vital that you get immediate intervention. Rodents can cause a vast amount of destruction and can even put your health at extreme risk.

As rats and mice scurry through homes, they defecate, urinate and leave behind salvia, contaminating everything they touch. Coming into contact with these rodent excrements, or even direct contact with the rodents themselves can cause you to fall drastically ill. Furthermore, rats can damage to you home in a variety of dangerous ways one of which includes causing electrical fires. Rat teeth grow at a surprisingly rapid rate and, as such, they have to chew on things for roughly 28 minutes a day in order to grind down their teeth – otherwise, their teeth would grow to the point where they cannot even close their mouths. With such powerful jaws, they can chew right through electric wires causing fires that have sometimes led to entire homes being engulfed in flames.
