Rodent Control
Your warm, cozy home is very inviting to certain guests during Houston’s cooler months. Unfortunately you didn’t ask these visitors in, and may not even know they’re inside, planning an extended stay. We’re talking rodents: rats, mice, squirrels, opossums and even raccoons. They enter through small openings to nest in attics, walls and crawl spaces, and pack in a variety of problems. These bad house guests damage your roof, sheet-rock and insulation, plus have a fondness for chewing on wires, which can lead to electrical shorts and even fires.
But that’s not the worst part. Rodents expose you and your loved ones to a whole host of health dangers: hepatitis B and C, influenza, swine flu and salmonella, to name just a few. If you suspect unwanted guests are making your home their hideout, it’s time to call Houston’s best rodent control expert, No Bugs!
