Mice & Rats

Rats and mice can cause damage to structures and property as well as spread disease everywhere they roam. They’re no fun to deal with and it often takes professional help to rid them from your home.
If you find droppings, shredded paper, evidence of gnawing on the corners of food packaging, or noise coming from ceilings and walls, you probably have mice or rats in your home.

Generally, mice and rats are nocturnal by nature, making daytime sightings rare. Cooler weather pushes them into homes, crawlspaces, and basements.

If you see evidence of mice and rats, call Axiom immediately. We’ll develop a custom strategy for your home or business to help ensure your mice and rats problems are solved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are rats dangerous?

Rats can be dangerous and pose health threats. When rats are cornered, they will bite and are capable of spreading diseases such as Leptospirosis and Hantavirus.

What's the difference between rats and mice?

Mice are generally smaller than rats, but the snout of the rat is blunter than that of the mouse. Mice also generally have more floppy ears and shorter, skinnier tails.

What attracts rats to your yard?

Rats are attracted to protected places to live, odors from available food such as pet food, birdseed, and even unharvested fruits and vegetables.

What do you do if you caught a live rat/mouse?

Release the rat or mouse several miles away from your home, preferably in a field, away from other homes, so they can’t find their way back. Also, you can ask a veterinarian to euthanize the rodent humanely.
