Rodents

What are rodents?

Rodents are small mammals identified by their continuously growing front incisors. Common office-invading species include roof rats, Norway rats, and field mice. Depending on the type, they can range from 2 to 18 inches long, with fur colors varying from black and gray to brown and tan. In Texas, mice and rats are common pests, making them a frequent concern for office owners.

Are rodents dangerous?

Rodents inside your commercial spaces can cause serious problems. Their constant chewing can damage structures, electrical wiring, and plumbing, creating fire hazards, leaks, and costly repairs. Beyond property damage, rodents also spread harmful diseases through contaminated food and water. Protecting your office means addressing rodent infestations quickly and effectively.

Why do I have a rodent problem in my office?

Rodents enter offices looking for shelter, food, and nesting areas. Once inside, they can cause extensive damage with their chewing and create unsanitary conditions that threaten your health. Even a small infestation can multiply quickly, which is why professional rodent control is so important for office owners.

Where will I find rodents in my office?

Rodents are excellent hiders and usually avoid areas of high human activity. Inside an office, they are often found in:

• Attics and basements
  
• Wall voids and crawl spaces
  
• Cabinets, pantries, and storage areas
  
• Utility sheds and garages
  
• Behind appliances and in high shelving
  

Spotting droppings, gnaw marks, or scratching sounds often signals their presence.
