Rats and mice are able to cause a lot more damage in your home than you might expect. Some studies have even suggested that rats are one of the most destructive pests in the world. This is backed by the dangers they pose when infesting businesses, especially in the food industry. Large rodent infestations can lead to electrical fires and damage to expensive machinery, leading to shutdowns, recalls, and more. In addition to this damage, it can also be hazardous to deal with their droppings and urine.
