Excess Moisture
When you have excess moisture in your home, it can affect the building’s structure as well as your health. Moisture can create a breeding ground for mold and other bacteria, which can cause illness and weaken your home’s structure. So not only can it cause asthma and allergies, it can destroy your wood and rust metal. This is why it’s crucial to have proper air distribution and exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens where warm air is produced.

Radon
This is a radioactive gas, and it can enter your house up through the soil where it’s naturally generated. Radon can cause lung cancer, so it’s wise to get your home tested to see if you have elevated levels of this gas in your living space.

The Victor PestChaser can be used in conjunction with traps to stop rodents from getting into your food, insullation and other areas of your home. There are two ways that this device works. First, it emits non-repetitive sound waves, which repel mice and make your home less appealing to them. Secondly, it mimics sounds from an alpha male rodent. Since mice are territorial, the sound of another dominant male mouse will discourage the rodents.

If you’re going to use this device, it’s important to put it in all of the rooms where you’re finding mice. Also, keep it away from soft surfaces and walls, because these materials can absorb the sound waves.
