Mice
The house mouse is a small grey or brown rodent with large ears, small eyes and a long naked tail. Typical adult house mice have an average length of 7.5 cm to 10 cm long and a tail length of 5 cm to 10 cm long. These rodents are extremely talented, having the ability to adapt to urban areas around humans.
Mice eat pretty much the same things as humans, as well as other household items that can be found such as glue or soap. Most common signs of house mice infestation are their droppings, which looks like small rod shaped pellets with pointed ends. Mice tend to hide and build their nests in dark and quiet areas, including the walls in your home. In addition to creating damage to property they also transmit and carry diseases such as salmonella, a type of food poisoning.
Rats
The Norway rat is the most common rat found in North America, found almost anywhere including farm fields, supermarkets, restaurants and homes. They are a greyish-brown in color, and have an average length of 16 cm to 25 cm long, with a tail length similar to the body size. These rodents are omnivores, and will eat almost anything, ranging from cereal to small dead animals.
Norway rats live in large groups and any sightings can indicate a possibly large infestation. Indications of a rat infestation include droppings, gnaw marks, urine smell, or grease stains. They are also known to cause fires due to chewing through electrical wires and insulation of homes and buildings. These destructive rodents usually build their nests under buildings, in basements, attics, and sewers. In addition to creating damage to property they also transmit and carry diseases such as salmonella, a type of food poisoning.
