Is the Rodent Activity Coming From Rats or Mice?
Rats and mice can use some of the same areas, but the signs they leave behind may be different. Dropping size, gnaw marks, nesting material, and the location of the activity can help identify which rodent is present.
Larger Signs May Point to Rat Activity
Rat droppings and gnaw marks are generally larger than those left by mice. Depending on the species, rats may be active in attics, garages, landscaping, or sheltered areas around the exterior of the home.
Smaller Signs May Point to Mouse Activity
House mice can enter through very small openings and build nests behind boxes, inside drawers, or near stored belongings. Their activity may include small droppings, light gnaw marks, shredded nesting material, or a noticeable musky odor.
Rodent Activity Can Move Through More Than One Area
What you notice inside may be connected to activity somewhere else around the property. Looking at the attic, garage, and exterior together helps provide a clearer understanding of the problem.
Attics and Upper Areas
Scratching overhead, droppings near access points, or disturbed insulation may indicate activity in the attic. Roof rats are capable climbers and can reach upper areas by using vegetation and other elevated paths around a home.
Garages and Storage Areas
Garages provide quiet spaces where rodents can stay behind boxes, shelving, and stored belongings. Pet food, birdseed, or other accessible food can also keep them returning to the area.
The Exterior Around the Home
Rodents may travel along walls, fences, landscaping, and other protected routes before finding an opening. Signs around the exterior can help explain how the activity may be reaching the garage or attic.
The Inspection Connects the Signs to the Source
We inspect the accessible attic, garage, and exterior areas where rodent activity has been noticed. We look for droppings, gnaw marks, nesting areas, travel routes, and possible openings into the home. After the inspection, we’ll explain what we found, recommend the appropriate service, and provide the price before beginning the work.
