Everyone knows how awful rat or mouse infestation can be. That's why you need a professional to eradiate the problem immediately. Traps and poison may seem to be a cost-effective alternative, but often do not work and can cause problems with children and pets. If you have rats or mice living in your home, in your yard or anywhere else on your property, contact Windy City Wildlife to have them removed.
Rat & Mouse Problems in Chicago
- Nesting in attics, contaminating pet or bird food, creating fire hazards by chewing through wires, and breeding
in large quantities - Causing diseases that affect people and pets like salmonellosis (acute food poisoning), Rickettsial Pox, Hantavirus (via droppings), tapeworm, leptospirosis (infectious jaundice), and tularemia via urine and droppings, also attracting more rats and mice
- Carrying fleas and parasites, leading to even more diseases
Why You Need Windy City Wildlife Service
- All openings must be sealed—rats & mice can enter an opening as small as a quarter inch; can chew through most building materials, even concrete—and then all rats and mice must be physically trapped
- Getting bitten can give you rabies
- Rat poison kills some but usually not all rats, leaving carcasses to decompose, and is considered inhumane
by many as it causes internal hemorrhaging - Some exterminators may be more happy to bill you every month than to solve your problem once and for all
- There are no effective rat or mouse repellents – moth balls, predator urine, ultrasonic emitters, and ammonia-soaked rags are ineffective from our experience
- New rats and mice will replace their departed cousins unless animal-proofing services are performed
- Infested attics need to be cleaned and decontaminated
