Identifying The Rodents In Your Home
Unfortunately, rodents can create a major headache for Las Vegas’s business owners and homeowners. Once your property has been overrun with rodents, finding out which species you’re dealing with is pertinent. Failing to identify the species will make it difficult to find a viable solution to the problem. Well, you’ll find that our city is home to many rodents, including house mice and deer mice. Although both are similar, they’re not identical. You need to learn as much as you can about these rodents.
Deer mice are bi-colored, so they’ll have white feet, bellies, and undersides with a brown head and upper back. Their tails are longer than many other rodents. Plus, they have bigger ears and eyes. When they leave droppings, their droppings will be smooth and black with pointed ends. As for house mice, they tend to be black or light brown. They’re hairless and have a slightly pointed nose. Their droppings are small, black, and stinky. If your house has a musty odor, house mice could be the cause.
Common Signs That Tell You Rodents Are In Your Home

- Your food containers have chew and scratch marks
- You’ve discovered chew marks on your furniture and baseboards
- There are rodent nests made of twigs and grass in your home

Appearance Of Mouse Droppings
If you have rodents in your home, you’re going to find droppings in your home. There is no way to avoid it. Rodents eat your food and use the bathroom around your house. Well, you need to know what rodent droppings look like. They’re normally between 3 and 6mm, and they’re always black. Droppings are often compared to rice because they have the same shape and length. Although rodents can be found throughout your home, they’re mostly found near nesting and breeding locations. They’ll also be found where the rodents feed.
What Causes Rodents To Invade A Home?
Have you ever wondered why rodents have invaded your home? Well, you’ll find that rodents will sometimes enter a home that hasn’t been cleaned enough. Ultimately, this is one of the main reasons rodents have decided to invade a home, but it isn’t the only reason. In other cases, rodents have entered our home to search for water. They can enter a home through the smallest holes. It only takes a hole with a quarter-inch diameter for rodents to invade a dwelling. Once they’re inside, they won’t leave easily.
Health Hazards Regarding Mice
Rats, mice, and rodents are very dangerous. It is pertinent to remove those rodents from your home as quickly as possible because they’ll create a variety of issues for you and your loved ones. Besides destroying your property and keeping you on edge, they’re also going to make you ill.
