Rodents multiply quickly, spread diseases, and damage structures and belongings. Don't let mice and rats turn your home into theirs. Mosquito Squad Plus^® offers a comprehensive rodent control service that helps manage existing infestations and prevent future problems. We put together tips for you to deter rodents, too.

Fun Fact About Mice 🐀

When you think of rodents and the mess they can leave in your home or shed, you probably don’t think of them as clean and organized. But, in fact, mice are known for being excellent housekeepers. In their shelters, they create specific areas for food storage, sleeping, and other purposes!

About Mice and Rats

Many rodent species are found in homes, including the common house mouse and the Norway rat. All rodents are known to be prolific chewers. Left unchecked, they’ll cause major structural and electrical damage as they chew through wires, insulation, and wood. And that’s not the only reason a mouse or rat infestation is a problem; they also carry diseases and host other pests, like fleas, that can put you and your loved ones at risk.

Mice and rats multiply quickly, making their populations difficult to control. A female mouse can have five to ten litters each year with up to 14 pups in each litter, and a rat can have up to five litters a year with around eight pups at a time. That’s a lot of rodents!

What Attracts Rodents

Rodents are attracted to spaces with easily accessible food and water sources. They look for water leaks, crumbs, unsealed pet food, and garbage. Once they’ve found access to nutrients and hydration, rodents look for warm, sheltered areas and fluffy materials for nesting. They frequent basements, attics, and storage spaces where there is clutter they can hide in without disturbances.

How do rodents get inside? Easy entry points for these pests include gaps in walls, doors, vents, and foundations. Mice and rats can fit through spaces much smaller than their bodies’ typical forms, due to flexible skeletal structures that compress and elongate.

How to Deter Mice and Rats

The best way to keep rodents away is to reduce access to nesting spots and food sources. Here’s how to control rodents:

Seal gaps and holes around your foundation, doors, pipes, vents, and wires that enter your home.
Store food, including pet food, in airtight containers.
Reduce clutter inside and outside your home, limiting the spots where rodents can build nests.
Trim trees and bushes near your house to reduce access to nesting materials.
Contact a pest control team to professionally deter rodents and help prevent infestation.

Rodent Control FAQs

What are the signs of rodent infestation?

Signs of rodent infestation include droppings, urine odors, bite marks, and scratching noises. Rodent droppings are small, dark, and pellet shaped. Bite marks may be seen on food packaging, wood, cloth, and wires.

Listen for scratching, scurrying, or squeaking noises in walls and ceilings, especially at night. Rodents are nocturnal, so you’re most likely to hear them after dark and before dawn.

If you notice any of these signs, contact your local Mosquito Squad Plus to help safely manage the problem.

What makes an animal a rodent?

Rodents are members of the order Rodentia. This order includes a wide range of mammals, including mice, rats, squirrels, beavers, and hamsters. Rodents all have continuously growing incisors, or front teeth, in both the upper and lower jaws. These sharp teeth must be constantly worn down by gnawing; some rodents can even chew through metal! Most rodents also have short limbs and long tails.

What does a dead rodent smell like?

Dead rodents give off a sulfur-like, musky scent reminiscent of rotten food or soil. This odor comes from gases, such as sulfur dioxide and methane, released during the rodent’s death and decomposition.

A dead rodent smell is a major giveaway that there’s an infestation. It’s safe to say that where there’s one (even dead) rodent, there are more. If a rodent dies inside walls, vents, or other hidden areas, the smell can linger for weeks, attracting flies and other pests. Be sure to have the body removed and engage in a professional pest control solution.
