What Types of Mice & Rats Do We Exterminate?
At Green Pest Solutions, we have experience dealing with a variety of rodents, including:
House mice
House mice are small rodents with relatively large ears and small, black eyes. They weigh about 1/2 ounce and usually are light brownish to gray. An adult is about 5 to 7 inches long, including the 3- to 4-inch tail. Droppings, fresh gnaw marks, and tracks indicate areas where mice are active. Mouse nests are made from finely shredded paper or other fibrous material, usually in sheltered locations. House mice have a characteristic musky odor that reveals their presence. Mice are active mostly at night, but they can be seen occasionally during daylight hours.
Deer mice
Deer mice are small, light gray-brown rodents with large eyes and ears. Their hind feet are larger than their front feet. They can attain a body length of 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches with a tail of 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches. Deer mice have white bellies and feet but may have some light brown fur, similar to the white-footed mouse.
Norway rats
The Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus, also called the brown rat or sewer rat) is a destructive pest found in urban and suburban neighborhoods. These rodents eat and contaminate food, damage buildings and other property by their gnawing and burrowing, and may spread diseases that affect people and pets. Norway rats are husky, brownish rodents that weigh about 11 ounces. They are about 13 to 18 inches long including the 6 to 8 1/2 inch tail. Their fur is coarse and mostly brown with scattered black on the upper surfaces. The underside is typically grey to yellowish-white.
Recognizing Mice & Rat Infestations
The presence of mice or rats can be detected by droppings, sightings, feeding, burrowing, or evidence of fresh gnawing. Tracks can be seen along light-colored travel areas and on dusty surfaces. Runways and burrows may be found next to buildings, along fences or railroad tracks, and under low vegetation and debris.
What do mice & rats eat?
Mice and Rats will eat nearly any type of food, but they prefer the same high-quality foods we do, such as meat and fresh grain. Rats require 1/2 to 1 fluid ounce of water daily when feeding on dry food. Rats have keen taste, hearing and sense of smell. They will climb to find food or shelter, and they can gain entrance to a building through any opening larger than 1/2 inch across.
How quickly can they take over?
Rats have litters of 6 to 12 young, which are born 21 to 23 days after mating. Young rats reach reproductive maturity in about three months. Breeding is most active in spring and fall. The average female has four to six litters per year. Rats can live for up to 18 months, but most die before they are one year old.
The Importance of Controlling House Mice
Because house mice are so small, they can gain entry into homes and other buildings much more easily than rats. As a result, house mouse infestations are more common than rat infestations in our area. Effective control involves sanitation, exclusion, and population reduction. Sanitation and exclusion are preventive measures. When a mouseinfestation already exists, some form of population reduction such as trapping or baiting is necessary.
A key to successful long-term mouse control is limiting shelter and food sources wherever possible. Trapping works well, especially when a sufficient number of traps are placed in strategic locations. Trapping also can be used as a follow-up measure after a baiting program. When considering a baiting program, rodent activity, nesting location, safety, and conducive conditions, all play a part on where and how baits will be implemented.
