Most homes are not devoid of a pesky pest or two. Rodents and other pests can situate themselves inside your house without your knowledge. The hazards of allowing rodents to coexist inside your home may seem obvious at first, but there are several dangers you may not be considering.
- Rodents such as mice or rats carry diseases that you definitely do not want to catch. Rodent feces and urine can cause gastrointestinal illness through the passing of e. coli and salmonellosis. They can also spread the Hantavirus that impairs your respiratory system. A rodent's fleas have even been known to spread the plague virus.
- Rodents can gnaw through electrical wires within your walls. This can become increasingly expensive, as finding the source of an electrical problem can be difficult. Opening up holes in portions of your house to get at wiring damaged by rodents is expensive and inconvenient.
- Rodents love to infiltrate tight, cozy spaces, and your home provides numerous locations that appeal to them. One of the most common places to find rodent infestations in your home is within insulation. A few mice or rats can ruin untold amounts of insulation in your house which can be costly to remove and replace.
- Signs that you might have a rodent problem include sounds in the walls, droppings in or around your house, and greasy rub marks on floorboards.

Thermal acoustical pest control insulation works on three different levels. The thermal aspect of the insulation reduces the transfer of heat and cold, the acoustical aspect blocks the transfer of sound waves from outside, and the pest control portion works to keep your house free of termites and rodents.
TAP insulation saves both money and energy. The efficient insulation can lower energy bills by decreasing the need for both heating and cooling. TAP insulation is also fire-retardant and can save your house from fire damage.
If you’re interested in learning more about TAP insulation, then call (714) 881-1413 to speak to the pest control professionals at Pacific Coast Termite, Inc.
