Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2014 -- Where there are humans, rodents have never been far behind. Squirrels, mice and rats have always loved to nibble at food stores – and sometimes urinate on them! With the cold weather of winter now in full flow, home and business owners in Portland and Vancouver could be facing a possible rodent infestation as the pest seek warmth, food and shelter.

Rodents are dirty, and carry disease as well as presenting significant health and safety risks by chewing through electrical wires. A rodent infestation also has the capacity to explode fast, thanks to the quick reproduction cycle.

Whether a homeowner or business owner, it’s vital to check around property for signs of a potential rodent infestation. Professional Portland pest control experts can help to check for rodents and also to exterminate an infestation with humane and eco-safe pest control methods.

With the weather set to get even colder, business owners and residents who suspect they might have a rodent infestation are advised to call a pest control professional such as Columbia Pest Control for advice and to book an appointment sooner than later.

“Rodents infestations are troublesome,” said Mike Giskaas, owner of Columbia Pest Control. “But the good news is that detecting an infestation is pretty easy. You’re looking for things like small droppings, signs of gnawing, tooth marks on food packaging. If you have pets, they can get excited when they detect a rodent. If you’re seeing all or some of these signs, you likely have a rodent problem”.
