Many more rodents than rats and mice can give you trouble on your property. Around Central TN, we have seen chipmunks, squirrels, woodchucks, gophers, voles, porcupines, and more! These rodents are rarely considered pests, but voles, squirrels, gophers, and even chipmunks can occasionally create property damage or cause a nuisance in your attic. If you’re having trouble with any one of these animals, it’s important to seek help from your local wildlife control experts.
If you can’t tell what kinds of rodents you have in your yard or building, ask an expert. Nuisance rodents usually aren’t aggressive, but they can create a hazardous environment with their nesting and droppings. Your local rodent exterminators can determine what kind of rodent is causing trouble on your property and create a plan to get rid of them quickly and safely.
