What are Rodents?

Rodents are the warm-blooded mammals just like humans, they have oversized front teeth. They chew a variety of items available to them at home and also cause great damage and spread many deadly diseases. They can be found throughout the world. There are more than 2050 species of Rodents. They live for 4 to 6 months in these habitats if favorable they can also live for a year. These rodents carry diseases, food, waste, fur, and saliva. They can contaminate about 10 times the food they eat. That’s why people prefer Pest control services to avoid their presence in houses.

 Types of Rodents found in our surroundings:

 CAUSE FOR CONCERN:

About One-third of Europe’s population was killed in the 14th century due to the plague. Even after centuries, about 2000 incidents of plague occur every year in the world.

In India in 1994, more than 50 people died in Surat due to the plague. There were about 460 cases of plague in hospitals and about 1061 patients affected by the epidemic. The plague of 1994 shook not only Surat and Gujarat but also the country and the world. In total, 6334 possible plague cases were reported across the country. It killed 55 people and claimed confirmation of 288 people in various testing centres.

Since then Rodent control service providers have played a major role in controlling their entrance and spreading such epidemic again.
