Here is an example of a real story I hear far too often. You’re going through your work week morning routine, getting dressed and leaving for work when you see a rat running from your car when you look out your front window. This is not the way anyone wants to start their day. Of course this would set off warning signs so you check your entire car for signs of rats. To your horror, you find an entire family of rats that have set up a nest in your engine compartment. This kind of rodent infestations can be tremendously unsafe as not only do they spread diseases, they have a predisposition to chew on wires. These rats could have simply chewed through the battery cables or other electrical wires in the car, causing a glitch or fire. What’s worse, those same rats have been living in the crawl space and attic for some time. So the story doesn’t end there.
