Types of Rodent Seen in Vancouver

Voles have a big appetite and eat anything they can get their paws on, including fruit, nuts, small plants, and animal carcasses.
- House Mouse. Commonly brown or grey, house mice have small bodies, oversized ears, and long tails that are typically double the length of their bodies. They are drawn to enclosed environments that are well hidden, such as sheds, barns, underbrush, dog houses, dark corners, etc.
- Norway Rat. Dark grey or brown, Norway rats have coarse fur, small eyes and ears, a slanted snout, and long tails. They are drawn to damp environments and are strong swimmers, allowing them to swim through drain pipes to successfully burrow underground.

How can I tell if my home is infested with mice or rats
Signs of an infestation include finding droppings, spotting gnaw marks, hearing noises within walls, or spotting actual rodents. To help distinguish between the two, know that mice droppings are smaller and pointed, while rat droppings are larger and banana-shaped.
Are rodents dangerous to human health
Yes, rodents pose serious health risks to humans. They can spread diseases, contaminate food, and damage a home's structure and electrical wiring.
Why is my home infested with rodents
A rodent infestation often occurs when rodents are searching for water, food, and shelter. Easy access to these resources in your home can attract rodents, so it is important to minimize leftover food sources and eliminate potential entry points.
What do rats dislike
Rats hate the smell of ammonia, peppermint, and citronella. Using these scents around your home can help deter them; however, it may not be enough to eradicate existing rodent problems.
What methods are effective for removing mice from walls and ceilings
To remove mice from the walls and ceilings, use traps and bait stations strategically placed near entry points and within their runways. For severe infestations, professional pest control services may be needed.
What should I do if my cat or dog consumes a dead mouse
Mice and rats can carry diseases or may have been previously poisoned, so it's important to seek emergency attention for your pet. If your pet eats a dead mouse, it's important to monitor them for any signs of illness and consult a veterinarian.
How can I safely keep rodent baits away from children and pets
To protect children and pets from rodent baits, place the baits in tamper-resistant bait stations and position them in areas inaccessible to kids and animals. Ensure you always follow product safety guidelines when handling rodent baits to protect yourself and others.
