Common house Mouse

House Mouse

Among the most common rodent pests, house mice are small and agile, able to easily access homes through tiny cracks and holes. They reproduce rapidly and can spread diseases while contaminating food sources.

Field Mouse

Field Mouse

While preferring to live outdoors, field mice may enter homes seeking food, water or shelter, especially in cooler months. They have a distinct stripe down their back and build grassy nests.

Roof Rat

These rats are excellent climbers and usually nest in higher areas like attics, roof spaces, and trees. They have slender bodies and can squeeze through very small openings to get indoors.

Also called brown rats or sewer rats, Norway rats are stocky burrowing rodents that often invade homes from ground level. They cause major structural damage by gnawing on wood, electrical wires, and pipes.

Signs that you need Rodent pest control

If you suspect unwelcome guests in your home, watch out for tell-tale signs such as:

  • Discovering droppings in various areas. One way to identify a mouse infestation is by their small, elongated droppings which measure around 3-5mm in length and have smooth, pointed ends. Rat droppings, on the other hand, are larger, ranging from 12-18mm long depending on the species. These larger droppings appear shiny black and capsule-shaped.
  • Hearing scratching or scurrying noises.
  • Noticing gnaw marks on wires, furniture, or food packaging.
  • Nesting materials like shredded paper.
  • Grease marks or runways along walls.
