Both of these rodents are pests that can infest homes, cause structural damage and contaminate stored food and food surfaces. Both mice and rats also transmit and spread diseases. Different bait and trapping methods are needed for mice and rats due to the difference in size and behavior between the two rodents. If you see rodents or rodent droppings, call Patton Termite & Pest today for prompt, effective and friendly service.

Despite their small size, fleas reproduce rapidly and in high numbers so infestations can quickly become very large.
