Rodent Control FAQs

Get answers about rodent identification, health risks, and prevention

QUESTION:How do I know if I have mice or rats?

ANSWER:Mice are smaller (2-4 inches), have large ears, and leave rice-sized droppings. Rats are larger (7-9 inches), have smaller ears relative to body size, and leave larger, capsule-shaped droppings. Mice are more common in homes, while rats prefer sewers, basements, and outdoor areas. Both gnaw on wires, insulation, and food packaging. If you hear scratching in walls or attics, see droppings, or notice gnaw marks, call (509) 471-5767 immediately. Our rodent control experts serve Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona.

QUESTION:What health risks do rodents pose?

ANSWER:Rodents carry diseases like hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis through their droppings, urine, and saliva. They contaminate food surfaces and stored items. Rodent allergens can trigger asthma, especially in children. They also bring fleas, mites, and ticks into homes. Beyond health risks, rodents cause property damage by chewing electrical wiring (fire hazard), insulation, and structural wood. Our professional rodent removal services include sanitation and exclusion to protect your family across all four states. Schedule an inspection today.

QUESTION:Can you rodent-proof my home in Idaho?

ANSWER:Yes! Rodent-proofing (exclusion) is the most effective long-term solution. We seal entry points around pipes, vents, foundations, and roof lines using steel wool, metal mesh, and caulk that rodents can't chew through. We also install door sweeps, repair damaged screens, and trim vegetation away from structures. Our exclusion services are available throughout Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Arizona. Combined with our rodent trapping and removal program, exclusion prevents future infestations. Read our rodent prevention guide.
