Understanding The Rodents In Your Home
When rodents enter your home, you’ll agree that you need to remove them out of your house as quickly as possible. The only problem is that getting rid of rodents is not easy. They’re large and difficult to handle. Can you imagine picking up a mice corpse and throwing it away? In all likelihood, the answer is no. Don’t worry because we’re here to help you. Our company will assist in identifying and getting rid of the rodent. Since you live in Dallas, you’ll likely encounter one or two species of mice. For instance, you might encounter a house mouse.
These mice are multi-colored with large ears and eyes. When a house mouse takes shelter in your home, it will leave droppings everywhere. You can identify the droppings because they’re small, black, and have pointed ends. You’ll also want to consider the factors below.
Signs Of Rodents In Your Home
To confirm a rodent infestation, consider the following.
- You will likely find rodent droppings in your home.
- Check for nests. They are primarily made with household items, twigs, and grass.
- Check for chew and scratch marks around your home. They can be found on baseboards and food containers.
- Listen for rodents. You can hear them moving around at night.
Are You Looking At Mouse Droppings?
To confirm a mouse infestation, look at the droppings in your home. Mouse droppings aren’t hard to identify since they’re black and usually less than 6mm in length. Furthermore, they’re granular and look like rice. Although rodent droppings can be found throughout the home, you’ll want to check near the rodent’s nesting and breeding sites first.
Reasons Your House Is Infested With Mice
What would cause mice and rats to enter your home? Is it something you did or didn’t do? It could be. Unfortunately, you might not have cleaned your home well enough. As a result, rodents have entered your home to forage for food. They could be searching for shelter and water too. Even if the hole is just 1/4” in diameter, rodents may be able to sneak inside. Sealing these holes could prevent rodents from invading your home.
Rodents & The Dangers They Present
Unfortunately, rodents are very dangerous so you don’t want to play games with them. If you have rodents, the risk that you’re going to eat contaminated food is high. They can contaminate your food with their urine and feces. Rodents can spread a handful of dangerous diseases, including Lassa Fever, Hantavirus, Hemorrhagic Fever, and Rat-Bite Fever. These diseases could be deadly so you need to remove the rodents from your home as quickly as possible. If you have pets, you have to be cautious about rodents spreading fleas and ticks.
Finally, rodents will chew through electrical wires. At some point, this will increase the possibility of a house fire.

Ultimately, rodents can present numerous concerns.
- Their urine and feces can contaminate your food.
