Always on the hunt for food, water, and shelter, rodents commonly seek refuge during the cool temperatures of fall. They have a remarkable ability to adapt, and the smallest entry way into a home or business can turn into an accidental open invitation.
Rodents contaminate food and damage buildings by constant gnawing and burrowing. In addition, they can spread diseases to people and pets, leave nasty odors, and commercially cause significant economic and reputable losses for professional establishments.
Any sightings of live or dead rodents indicate rodent activity. If rodents are seen exposed, it often indicates that their hiding spaces are filled with more of them. If you haven’t spotted the rodent itself, some things to look out for are their droppings, (usually ½ inch long with pointed ends,) deposited oils from their fur, known as rat paths, and gnawed food packages.
Which Rodent Do You Have?
Roof Rat
House Mouse
Appearance: 12 - 18” long / Black or Brown
Behavior: Rats are omnivorous and will feed on almost anything available to them including tree bark, meat and grain. While known for being eating machines, they’re equally known as hoarders; often stashing seeds and nuts.
Only adding to intense infestation, roof rats are prodigious breeders. At only two and five months, they can start having four to six litters per year, each litter consisting of six to eight baby rats, with a life expectancy of a year.
Environment: These nocturnal rats are commonly found in both urban and rural areas, and can easily adapt to a wide range of environments. Tending to prefer living in dry upper levels of buildings, these accomplished climbers are commonly found in wall cavities and false ceilings. While in their densely populated nests, infectious diseases may be carried in their blood and can actively fester and spread.
Appearance: 3”- 4” long minus the tail. Gray Colored
Behavior: By nature mice are herbivores; they prefer to feed on cereal grains, but will eat almost any type of food and food scraps. They require very little water, and are known to store extra food in burrows and other hiding places.
Usually associated with rodents are the diseases they carry. In the case of House Mice, the major health risks surrounding them include salmonella and leptospirosis.
Environment: The house mouse can be found in both urban and rural areas, will easily adapt to a wide range of environments and can gain access to a home through an opening of only ¼ inch.
