Florida is a great state. It is a place filled with sunny summers and great beaches. Many dream of living here, and even more dream of the nice getaway they could have in this fantastic state. But, like every state, it has its fair share of problems. One such problem is that Florida is home to some unwanted visitors. Pests seem to be a universal problem. No matter where you go—no matter how great the location—you can be certain that pests are present, ready to disrupt the perfection. Florida is no exception. Unfortunately, those ranks include some pretty nasty rodents.
Florida plays home to more than twenty-five different types of rodents. And each of them create their own fair share of problems. The Florida mouse is native to this state. They are also the second most damaging pest in Florida. This particular species is singularly responsible for at least forty percent of house fires in the state of Florida. It gnaws at the electrical wires and creates a fire hazard. The Florida mouse also carries at least ten different diseases that are harmful to humans.
Not all of the rodents here are native, though. On the list of rodents that have invaded Florida is the Gambian pouched rat. This nasty creature is not only a pest to the state of Florida. It also happens to be the largest rat in existence. Such rodents as common house mice, olds-field mice, both black and brown rats, and Mexican squirrels also wreak havoc on this beautiful state.
All of these rodents, and more, are quite common throughout the state, and they can not only damage your home and property, but also carry disease and other pest problems with them.
