Rats
Rat infestations are very common in Seattle. Plus, they should not be ignored. Rats cause damage to a variety of places in your home. They chew through whatever is in their way in order to get to both a warm and dry place. By chewing through insulation and ducting, rats cause your heating bills to rise drastically. They chew through electrical wiring, which can cause electrical fires. Additionally, they chew through furniture, cars, and plumbing fixtures. Which can cause flooding. Another way they can cause damage is from both their droppings and urine stains on both wood and insulation. A rat’s teeth never stop growing. So they are constantly chewing through everything. If a rodent infestation isn’t dealt with, then the possible damage is endless. The cost of the damage that rats cause is very high, so it’s important to take care of the problem right away.
Mice
Mice are similar to rats in that they chew through everything to find a warm place to stay. The difference is they are much smaller and can squeeze through tighter spaces. This makes them hard to notice, so it’s important to know the signs of mice in your home.
Ants
Carpenter ants, moisture ants, and pavement ants are capable of causing structural damage to your home. Carpenter ants cause structural damage by hollowing out wood to make their nests. Moisture ants actually eat wood and prefer wood with a higher moisture content. Pavement ants make their nests under the pavement. Over time they excavate so deeply that the soil is not holding up the pavement anymore, causing it to settle and need repair.
Spiders
Spider infestations grow quickly. If you don’t have your home sprayed for spiders every fall and spring, the infestation will just keep growing, thereby increasing your chances of getting bitten. Many spiders are venomous which can be dangerous in large numbers. The Hobo Spider, in particular, is an aggressive spider, and its bite has similar effects as the brown recluse. Spider removal from your home can prevent these bites from ever happening. A spider infestation should not be ignored.
Wasps
Wasp nests or hives can cause structural damage when they are built inside of your home. When lying on drywall, the nests or hives can cause the drywall to disintegrate. As the drywall disintegrates, more and more wasps will come into the structure leading to a dangerous situation.
