Rodent Pest Control

Rodents are a diverse group of mammals that are characterized by their constantly-growing front teeth, which they use for gnawing and chewing. There are over 2,200 species of rodents, which represent approximately 40% of all mammal species.

Some common examples of rodents include mice, rats, squirrels, beavers, hamsters, and guinea pigs. They are found in virtually every habitat on earth, from deserts and grasslands to forests and wetlands.

Rodents are known for their adaptability and ability to reproduce quickly, which has helped them become one of the most successful and widespread groups of mammals. They play important ecological roles as prey, seed dispersers, and ecosystem engineers, but they can also be pests and carriers of disease.

What  is a rodents diet?

The diet of a rodent can vary widely depending on the species and the habitat in which it lives. Generally, rodents are herbivores, meaning that they primarily eat plants. However, some species also include insects, meat, and other animals in their diets.

Herbivorous rodents typically feed on a variety of plant materials such as leaves, seeds, fruits, and roots. They may also consume grasses, bark, and other tough plant tissues. Some examples of herbivorous rodents include squirrels, beavers, and guinea pigs.

Carnivorous rodents, on the other hand, will eat other animals as their primary food source. These include species such as rats, which will feed on insects, small mammals, and even carrion.

Omnivorous rodents consume both plant and animal matter, such as mice and rats, which will eat a wide variety of foods including seeds, fruits, insects, and small animals.

Rodents have adapted to a wide range of diets in order to survive in different environments, and their diet often reflects their particular ecological niche within their habitat.

Why Mice and Rat Pest Control is Essential

Mice and rats can cause a wide range of problems in your home or business. They are known carriers of diseases such as salmonella, leptospirosis, and Hantavirus, which can be transmitted to humans through their droppings, urine, and bites. These pests also have a habit of gnawing on almost anything, including electrical wires, which can cause fires and other hazards. Additionally, they can contaminate food and surfaces with their droppings, posing a threat to your health and the health of others.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

It's essential to be able to recognize the signs of a rodent infestation so that you can take appropriate action. Some of the most common signs of a mouse or rat infestation include:

• Droppings: Mice and rat droppings are small and cylindrical, and they are usually found near food sources or in areas where the rodents are active.
• Gnaw marks: Rodents have a tendency to gnaw on almost anything, including wood, plastic, and even metal. If you notice gnaw marks on your property, it's a good indication that you have a rodent infestation.
• Scratching sounds: Mice and rats are most active at night, and you may hear scratching sounds coming from walls, ceilings, or floors.
• Nests: Rodents like to build nests in warm, dark, and secluded places, such as attics, walls, and basements. If you find a nest in your home or business, it's a good indication that you have a rodent infestation.
