Rats Control

With the world being home to over 1,500 rodent species, it’s not hard to get a rodent infestation in your home. The most common types of rodents in households and commercial properties include mice and rats. These pests can cause big damage to our properties due to their continuously growing front incisors. To prevent them from overgrowing, they gnaw on almost anything they encounter. This can lead to electrical issues and other safety concerns. Eliminate them with the help of our experts!

Mice

There are two species of mice in the Pacific Northwest: Deer mice and house mice. While they both look really similar, they do have one differentiating factor: their belly.

• Deer Mice -> Have white bellies
• House Mice -> Have brown bellies

These mice are approximately 3” long and have the following features:

• Brown in color
• Large ears
• Tail sass long as their body
• Droppings that are 1/4” long and pointed on the ends

How You Know You Have Mice

Mice defecate as they move in search of food and water. Droppings can be found in multiple areas that are usually behind such things as refrigerators, stoves, piles of firewood, sheds, garages, under sinks, and other concealed spaces.

Although mice have adapted to habitat among humans, they are very fearful of them and are good at hiding. Don’t leave any hole unsealed; mice can fit through a hole as small as a dime!

Mice are communal creatures that breed to a great extent. Don’t let them go out of control with the help of Inland Pest Control.

Pack Rats

Pack rats are small rodents with long tails and the familiar rat appearance we all know. There are almost 25 extinct species of Pack Rates throughout North America. Also known as wood rats, these rodents typically measure 10. – 18. Inches in length and weight within 300-600 grams. They are larger than mice and have brownish-grey fur. If you’ve noticed a number of these on your property, it is best to act soon!
