Frequently Asked Questions About Rodents

Can mice fit through a small crack?

If you can fit a pencil under an exterior door, a garage door, or in a break in your window seal, your home or business could become infested with rodents. Mice and rats do not need a whole lot of clearance to gain entry. 

Where do rodents hide?

Rodents are often a problem in quieter areas of homes including attics, storage closets, and wall voids. They like to nest in breed in close proximity to food and typically become active at night seeking out sustenance.

In commercial properties, mice and rats often nest and breed in storage rooms, utility rooms as well as roof and ceiling spaces. Areas that are close to potential food sources are likely to have rodent activity as well. 

Are mice and rats dangerous?

Yes, mice and rodents should be considered dangerous to health and property. They have the ability to introduce fleas, ticks (which can carry Lyme disease) and droppings and urine from infected rodents can expose people to Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome.

Rodents also damage buildings, contaminate surfaces and items, destroy product- anyplace that rodents can access is likely to incur harm in some way or another
