The Most Common Rodents and Why They Matter

Rodents are a diverse group of mammals that include mice, rats, squirrels, and more. The most common types of rodents that invade homes are the house mouse, roof rat, and deer mice. These pests can cause significant damage to your home and belongings, contaminate your food, and even spread diseases. Understanding the risks associated with these rodents is the first step in combatting the problem.

House Mouse

The house mouse is a small rodent, typically 2-4 inches in length, with a gray or brown coat. They are known for their ability to adapt to different environments and can easily find their way into homes in search of food and shelter. House mice breed rapidly, making it essential to address an infestation promptly.

Roof Rat

Roof rats, also known as black rats, are larger than house mice, measuring 6-8 inches in length. They are excellent climbers and often enter homes through roofs, eaves, and attics. Roof rats are nocturnal and prefer fruits, nuts, and vegetables, but they will eat whatever is available.

Deer Mice

Deer mice are small rodents, similar in size to house mice, with a brown or gray coat and white underbelly. They are commonly found in rural areas, and they can enter homes through small gaps and cracks. Deer mice are known carriers of the potentially deadly hantavirus, which makes them a significant concern when it comes to rodent infestations.

The Dangers of Rodent Infestations

Rodents are more than just a nuisance; they can cause serious damage to your home and pose health risks to you and your family. Here are some of the main dangers associated with rodent infestations:

  • Property Damage: Rodents are known for their gnawing habits, which can lead to damage to your home’s insulation, wiring, and plumbing. This damage can be costly to repair and may even create fire hazards.
  • Food Contamination: Rodents carry various diseases and can contaminate your food supply, posing a risk to your health. They can also cause damage to food packaging, leading to wasted food and expenses.
  • Disease Transmission: Rodents can transmit diseases to humans, including hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonellosis. They can also carry parasites like fleas and ticks, which can spread diseases such as Lyme disease and typhus.
  • Allergens: Rodent droppings, urine
