817-585-2993No one wants to think about a house full of mice, rats and other rodents. Unfortunately, many homes provide shelter to at least a handful of menacing pests, no matter how well maintained the property is. One of the most significant dangers involved with pest problems, are they’re tendency to chew through important structural components, including drywall, insulation, lumber and electrical wiring. Ignoring damage to your electrical system can have extreme consequences. Thankfully, unnecessary fires, personal injuries and property damage can be avoided by investing in pest control and electrical repairs if needed. At Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we want our local North Texas customers to have safe and convenient electrical systems. That’s why we’re offering a few tips and tricks for keeping your home or business free of wire gnawing pests.
Know the Warning Signs
The first step is to check your property for signs of a pest infiltration. While finding evidence for damaged wiring can be extremely difficult, knowing whether you have rodents as residents is much simpler. And, there’s a good chance that if rodents are present in your home or business, you’ll have a few chewed wires. Look for the following red flags:
Call Pest Control
If you notice one or more of these warning signs present in your house or business location, be sure to take precautions right away and hire a qualified pest control company to get rid of them. Setting out mice traps will not do the trick. While you may catch one or two mice this way, you’ll still put your property at risk by avoiding their complete removal. You may consider scheduling an annual or semi-annual pest control service to ensure that the rodents and other problematic pests and insects are gone now and forever.
Schedule an Electrical Inspection
If you’ve seen signs of rodents, it’s very important that you schedule an electrical inspection as soon as possible. A certified electrician will be able to pinpoint potential problem areas, and can provide a wiring upgrade or repair as needed. Be sure to get your pest problem under wraps right away as well, or you’ll risk being unaware of new wire damage lurking under the surface.
