Rodents: identification & rodent control
Rodent work is exclusion work. Technicians seal entry points as small as a dime, set tamper-resistant stations and traps in runways, and clean contaminated areas so droppings and pheromone trails stop attracting new rodents.
How to identify rodents
- What it looks like
- Furred bodies with chisel-like front teeth, rounded ears and a long scaled tail.
- Size
- 3 to 10 inches body length
- Where you'll find it
- Attics, wall voids, crawl spaces, garages, sheds, sewers and dense landscaping.
- Commonly confused with
- Shrews and voles; house mice have larger ears and longer tails than voles.
Signs of rodents in your home
- Dark rice-shaped droppings
- Gnaw marks on packaging or wire
- Scratching in walls at night
- Greasy rub marks along baseboards
Rodents questions homeowners ask
Is it mice or rats in my attic?
Droppings under 1/4 inch and light scurrying means mice; droppings 1/2 inch or larger with heavy thumping usually means roof rats.
How do rodents get inside?
Mice fit through a dime-sized hole and rats through a quarter-sized one — roof lines, dryer vents, garage door corners and utility penetrations are the usual routes.
