Rodents: Furry Doesn’t Mean Friendly

What they do:
Rodents sneak into homes through small openings, chew through wires, insulation, and food packaging, and spread diseases through droppings and urine. They reproduce quickly, making small problems grow fast.

Mice:

• Smaller (2–4 inches, not including tail)

• Light brown or gray in color

• Small droppings (like rice grains)

• Often heard in walls or ceilings

Rats:

• Larger (7–10 inches, not including tail)

• Brown (Norway rat) or black (roof rat)

• Larger droppings (banana seed-sized)

• Often found in basements, crawlspaces, or attics

Signs of Infestation:

• Droppings in cabinets, pantries, or along walls

• Scratching or scurrying noises in walls or ceilings

• Chew marks on food containers, wires, or wood

Prevention Tips:

• Store food (including pet food) in sealed containers

• Keep kitchens and pantries clean and free of crumbs

• Declutter garages, attics, and storage areas where rodents can nest

• Trim trees and shrubs away from the house
