general information AND habitat

Some of the most common rodents that torment homeowners, office buildings, and retail stores, are rats, chipmunks, and mice. This group of animals is responsible for damages to over 21 million homes across the country in winter alone. Deer Mice, House Mice, and Norway Rats are by far the most common rodent pests in Texas. Rodents are extremely intelligent animals, and, if you are without the help of a professional, they can find their way around even the most creative deterrents. Rodents are known to carry a plethora of diseases, including tick-borne and zoonotic. Not only do they pose a direct threat to you and your domestic animals, but they also often contaminate food in homes and professional establishments. They can dig holes, damage electrical wiring, chew through insulation, and inflict many other types of damage on the structure of your home. Rodents can multiply extremely fast, and because of their small size, can go undetected for considerable lengths of time.
