Don’t leave any food out in your kitchen, always put it away. If your area has already been infested with rodents, you could attempt to place traps around the area you spotted them in.

Calling a professional is the best way to get rid of rats that inhabit your home, and apply preventative measures so that they will not return.

Field mice usually range between shades of gray and brown. They move fast, possess sharp claws, and are extremely intelligent. As the name suggests, field mice can be found in fields and other rural areas, including farms, marshes, swamps, forests, and even old houses. Eating whatever is available, these scavengers reproduce at alarming rates. Field mice are cousins to the rat, and since they are at the lower end of the food chain, they usually survive no more than two years.However, when winter begins approaching, field mice often seek to nest in houses. This causes a number of difficulties for homeowners, such as the spread of diseases, some of which may result in a person’s death. Electrical shorts and house fires may be the result of field mice gnawing on the wires. Rewiring a home is not cheap, and field mice can cause other damage by eating through walls. Mice can also harm pets, especially if a pet dog or cat catches and eats a field mouse that is infected with a disease.
The Norway rat is also identified by a host of other names, including the house rat, the brown rat, and the wharf rat. Norway rats prefer to live close to people and thus can easily be found in urban and suburban areas. They burrow their way underneath structures and are not picky when it comes to food sources. Not only do Norway rats cause damage to buildings and their foundations by burrowing beneath them, they are also known for contaminating food in warehouses and crops on farms. Other damaging aspects of being infested with Norway rats are the spread of disease, the destruction of electrical wiring, and the destruction of underground water pipes. These nocturnal creatures breed rapidly (like field mice), with the female Norway rat giving birth to up to six litters per year.
The roof rat, also known as the black rat. It is an omnivore that may contaminate fruit farms and consume insects. Roof rats are avid climbers and therefore can easily dwell in trees. The average length of a roof rat is six to eight inches, which excludes the length of their tail. Just like field mice and Norway rats, roof rats also reproduce at a fast rate. In fact, this is the very species of rat that became famous for spreading the Bubonic plague throughout Europe during the the Middle Ages.
