mice vs. rats:
understanding your
pest infestation
Whether it’s mice or rats, getting to know their behavior is essential for preventing and managing infestations. Let’s dive into what makes these pests tick and how they can affect your home.
mice
Mice might be small, but these pests can pack a punch. These sneaky critters can squeeze through gaps as tiny as a quarter-inch, making them master invaders of your home.
Once they’re in, they love hiding out in tricky spots like inside walls, under appliances, or furniture, staying out of sight while causing chaos. Known for their ever-growing incisors, mice will chew through anything they encounter—from wood to electrical wiring—creating a fire risk and damaging your home.
On top of that, they’re disease carriers, spreading germs through their droppings and urine and contaminating your food. If you spot the signs, don’t wait; take action fast to keep these tiny pests from becoming a major problem.
rats
Rats are larger and more aggressive than mice, with a reputation for being particularly destructive. They often set up nests in larger spots like basements, attics, and within the structural voids of your home.
Their powerful teeth can also chew through just about anything—electrical wiring, insulation, and even wooden beams. This damage jeopardizes your home’s structural integrity and raises the risk of fires and expensive repairs.
Rats often signal a larger infestation issue, so early detection and intervention are crucial. Fast action can prevent significant damage and keep these relentless pests from taking over your home.

identifying rodent problems
Catching a rodent problem early can make all the difference in controlling it. Here’s how to spot the signs that mice or rats have set up camp in your home:
- Droppings: Mice droppings are small, dark, and pointy at the ends, while rat droppings are larger and blunt. Finding these near food sources, in cabinets, or around potential nesting sites signals that you’ve got rodents in the house.
- Gnaw Marks: Rodents are relentless chewers. Look for gnaw marks on wood, wires, and insulation.
- Nests: Rodents create nests from shredded paper, fabric, or insulation. They usually hide these nests in dark, secluded spots like behind walls or in corners of basements and attics.
- Scratching Sounds: Since rodents are nocturnal, scratching, scurrying, or rustling noises at night, especially in walls or attics, are a strong indicator of their presence.
- Tracks and Trails: Look for tracks or greasy smudges left behind by rodents in dusty or dim areas. These can lead you to their travel routes and reveal their favorite hangouts.
If you notice any of these indicators, it’s time to call in a professional pest control service. Don’t let rodents take over—act fast to safeguard your home and keep your living space clean and safe.
