Many homeowners sometimes feel that they do not need to use a lot of money in hiring pest control specialists when they encounter a pest problem in their homes. They probably grew up watching their fathers and brothers deal with any rats or insects that entered their homes all by themselves. While that can be one way of saving a lot of money, the problems that can come from contact with pests are nothing to laugh about. Rats, in particular, are known to harbor dangerous disease carrying pathogens. The Black plague is one of those ailments. Any home that is infested with rats obviously has an issue with maintaining hygiene in the house. While homeowners in the Mobile area cannot wholly be accused of such a vice, the dumpsters that are closely positioned to the houses are sometimes not collected on a weekly basis. In a recent strike, the rat problem brought about by the festering uncollected refuse, caused the homeowners in one area to try to come up with solutions to deal with the garbage themselves.
The problem of garbage
Pest control Mobile contractors praised this move while pointing out to the homeowners the danger of dealing with the rat infestation themselves. Homeowners were understandably reluctant to spend more money to hire professionals to deal with the pests after spending extra funds to get rid of the garbage. As pest control professionals point out, there are existing laws that mandate business owners who are suffering from rat problems to use the services of a pest control company. This is because these concerned business establishments may endanger the health of any person that comes to its premises. Homeowners may not fully understand that government law specifically mandates this because of the hazards of dealing with rat corpses, and droppings of scratches that might be suffered by people who may come across the rats.
Consequences of rat infestation
Pest control services in the Mobile area have described, many a time, how they were called by an embarrassed homeowner who used poisonous bits of food to get rid of his rat problem only for the rat to die in another part of the house.

Rats are quick to reproduce, and can quickly populate a home if left unchecked. Sometimes the homeowner has to vacate the home when poisonous foodstuffs are left for the rats if he or she has a pet that likes to feed on rats. Homeowners can avoid the proliferation of rats in their neighborhoods by simply contacting pest control services once one is spotted.
