Rodent Control: Rat And Mice Extermination
Having mice or rats around is any homeowner’s worst nightmare. They can damage property, eat your food, or spread disease. Rodents are experts at finding entrances to homes. Rats can gnaw through anything to get where they want to go, and mice can squeeze through tiny cracks and openings.
If you are facing a rodent issue on your own, it can be daunting and never ending. Insight Pest Solutions is top-notch pest control that can take care of your rodent issues.

Common Rodents In The Pacific Northwest
There are four different rodents to keep an eye out for in the Pacific Northwest. Each breed has a slightly different habitat and distinct interests and effects on your home.
If you see a rodent in your house, identifying what type of rodent it is can help us determine where they are coming from more quickly and which kind of rodent control is most appropriate for your situation. Here are a few facts to help you identify the different types of rats and mice:
Roof Rat
Roof rats have big ears, pointed noses, and tails longer than the rest of their body. They are black or grey and love to climb. These rats are most often found in your attic or outside of your home. When you picture a rat from a movie or tv show, a roof rat is most likely what pops into your mind.
Norway Rat
The Norway rat is brown and much smaller than a roof rat. They prefer to hang out in your basement, lower stories, or underground. Norway rats have tiny ears and blunt noses. These rats are still larger than mice and have hairless tails characteristic of rats rather than mice.
House Mouse
As the name would suggest, the most common mouse to find within your home is a house mouse. They can be grey or brown and are most likely found living close to food. Other defining characteristics include rounded ears, a pointed nose, and a scaly tail.
Deer Mouse
Unlike a house mouse, deer mice have tails that are bicolored. They tend to have extra long tails and feet. Deer mice are carriers of hantavirus. If you see one of these in your home, don’t delay in calling a mice exterminator.
Each type of rodent requires a different extermination and prevention method. We are prepared to handle them all.
