Rodent Identification & Prevention

Get Started With Quality Pest Control

Rodents running out of control on your Morristown, NJ, property can lead to major problems unless Trius Pest Management takes care of the infestation for good.

What are rodents?

Rodents are a type of mammal characterized by their constantly growing front teeth that they keep in shape by gnawing various materials. There are many different types of rodents, with the most prominent in our area being mice, rats, chipmunks, and moles. Most people can easily tell the difference between these species, with rats being one of the largest rodents and moles being the smallest. Mice are also small, with brownish or grey fur, and chipmunks are more commonly seen outdoors with reddish-brown fur and white and black stripes on their backs.

If you need assistance identifying rodents on your property, contact Trius Pest Management.

Are rodents dangerous?

All rodents may be dangerous, and the problems these pests bring are only made worse by widespread infestations. Rodents are highly unhygienic, and as mice, rats, chipmunks, and moles invade both your indoor and outdoor spaces, they bring bacteria and pathogens with them. Diseases you can catch from rodents include hantavirus, leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and tularemia, among many others. Additionally, all rodents can carry fleas, ticks, and mites that might spread around your property.

You should also note that because rodents are constantly gnawing items to keep their teeth in shape, they may destroy items around your property including plumbing and electrical areas, stored items, and food.

Why do I have a rodent problem?

Rodents are typically attracted to properties that provide plenty of food, water, and shelter for them to easily access. This means that if you are noticing an increase in rodents around your property, you likely have these factors available for rodents. Effective rodent control starts with investigating your property for areas that might be attracting these pests to your property.

Where will I find rodents?

Rodents are commonly found hiding around outdoor areas such as overgrown grasses and foliage, piles of debris, and near trash cans or compost piles. Once they invade indoor spaces, you will typically see rodents around food storage areas, kitchens, basements, garages, crawl spaces, attics, and even in the space between walls.
