Types of Rodents

Rodents routinely cause serious damage to homes and property, so it’s crucial to know which types of rodents commonly invade and how their behaviors differ. Common rodent species include:

• Mice – The house mouse and deer mouse are the most common variations of these critters that we see. They have light-colored underbellies and very curious personalities. They reproduce alarmingly fast, and can multiply in a matter of weeks.
• Rats – Most commonly seen rats are the Norway rat and roof rat. These critters are more difficult to catch, as they lack that curious personality that mice have. Rat species have also been known to act aggressively when cornered.
• Squirrels – These cute and fluffy rodents are well known for their ability to chew openings in roof structures to gain access to attics in order to build nests for their young. Don’t let their appearance fool you, squirrels are just as destructive as their siblings.

Signs of Infestation

Typical evidence of rodent activity in a home includes:

• Rustling noises – Annoying noises coming from your walls or ceilings as the rodents scurry about in their search for food, water, and nesting materials are a strong indicator of unwanted critter activity. Generally, these noises are prominent at night, as most rodents are nocturnal in nature.
• Foul odors – Rodents give off a distinctive musty smell, and their urine smells strongly of ammonia. It’s nearly unmistakable.
• Nesting – A rodent’s mission upon entering your home is to build a nest for their young as quickly as possible. You will often see scraps of paper, cardboard, and even attic insulation strewn about your home due to their activity.

If you notice any of the signs of rodent activity, you should seek professional help right away to keep any damage to a minimum. Contact the experts at Critter Control® of Dallas with any questions, or to schedule a complimentary home consultation today at 817-222-1101.
