Overview

• Finding out your home has a pest infestation is a nightmare. Sometimes it happens no matter how careful you are. But leaving an infestation alone and allowing it to manifest and grow further can damage your home significantly. There are several types of ways pests can damage your home. Knowing this damage can help you spot it easier and catch pests before they get too out of control.

   

   

  Electrical Damage

   

  Pests like rats and mice can cause significant damage to electrical wires. These animals love to gnaw through items because of how their teeth grow. If you have a rodent infestation like this, contact commercial pest control in Denver. You’ll want to remove the infestation immediately before they chew through important wires. This not only affects you from an electrical standpoint, but any item with wires has the risk of being chewed up.

   

   

  Damage to Furniture

   

  Whether you have an insect infestation or a rodent infestation, your furniture can take damage. Insects like moths and beetles can create tears or holes in the fabric of your furniture. Rodents are even worse at this. They can remove the stuffing, tear the material, and even gnaw at any wood in the furniture.

   

  In some instances, you might find mice or rats living in the furniture. They’ll easily create nests inside the couches. If you notice any type of pest in your furniture, contact professionals right away. Plus, aside from eating away at your furniture, rodents will also urinate all over to mark their area. This smell can be hard to remove from your furnished belongings and can result in necessary replacements.

   

   

  Damage to Clothing and Similar Types of Belongings

   

   Pests like moths, cockroaches, and termites love wool and hair. Gross, right? But these pests will go straight for your clothes if they have the chance. They’ll create holes and tears in any items that have fabrics. Some of these pests will even leave an odor on your clothes and will stain them due to the substances they leave behind.

   

   

  Structural Damage

   

  Pests of all sorts can even cause structural damage to your home. Some can cause small damage, while others cause a more significant amount. But even the most minor damages can result in high costs and seriously hinder your safety.

   

  Pests like termites or ants can lead to significant home damage that costs a pretty penny to replace. So if you notice pests damaging your home’s structure, be sure to remove the infestation immediately.
