Yes — rodents gnaw cables and burrow into insulation, which is a serious fire hazard and a costly repair, and they often do it hidden in walls, ceilings, and voids. This is one of the biggest reasons not to delay. Santera controls the population and proofs entry points to stop the damage.

Clear access to suspected activity areas, store food in sealed containers, reduce clutter that offers harbourage, and note where you've seen droppings, gnaw marks, or heard noises. This helps the technician work efficiently. Santera confirms any specific preparation when booking your visit.

Rats are larger, need more food and water, and often nest in burrows, drains, or roof voids, while mice are small, squeeze through pencil-width gaps, breed faster, and stay close to food. They leave different droppings and gnaw marks. Santera identifies which you have, since control and proofing differ.

Before: store food securely, reduce clutter, and clear accessible food and water. After: maintain those habits, keep bins sealed, and report any new activity. Santera provides clear written guidance and handles the proofing so the steps you take support a lasting result.

Yes — rodents gnaw constantly, damaging wiring (a fire risk), pipes, insulation, packaging, and stored goods, and they contaminate far more food than they eat. The longer they're present, the more costly the damage. Santera controls the population and proofs entry points to stop ongoing damage.

Removing food and water sources, sealing gaps, and keeping areas clean and clutter-free make a property far less attractive, and these steps matter. But deterrents alone rarely clear an active infestation. Santera combines proofing and control with this prevention so rodents can't establish.
