Risk of rats in construction
Rats, being opportunistic creatures, are quick to exploit the nooks and crannies that come up during construction, posing not just infrastructural risks but also health concerns. Beyond the structural damages and potential delays they can cause, rats are vectors for diseases, which can be detrimental for both construction workers and future occupants of a building. As the article rightly points out, preventive measures are key. Services like Lakewood Exterminating play a crucial role in this aspect. They not only help in the extermination of these pests but can also advise on best practices to prevent future infestations. As the construction industry continues to grow and evolve, ensuring a rat-free environment should be of paramount importance, and experts from pest control services are indeed the unsung heroes in this endeavor.
