What Diseases Can Rodents Carry?
Wild rodents can spread a broad range of dangerous diseases, which is why we do not encourage people to try to address their rodent problems on their own.
These diseases include:
- Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
- Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis
- Bubonic Plague
- Asthma
- Allergies
Even minimal contact with wild rodents can spread or aggravate these diseases. Leave the rodent control to the experts! We have the tools for proper handling of contaminated materials and effective rodent removal. Don’t put yourself or your family in danger by trying to handle a rodent problem on your own.
What is the Difference Between a Rat and a Mouse?
Understanding the differences between rats and mice is essential for effective pest control. These rodents might seem similar at first glance, but they have distinct characteristics that impact how they behave, where they inhabit, and how they can be managed. At Rocklin Pest Control, we aim to educate you about these differences to better address rodent infestations.
Here's a breakdown of the main key distinctions between rats and mice:
- Size: Rats are generally larger than mice. Rats can measure up to 9-11 inches in length (not including their tails), while mice are typically smaller, ranging from 2-4 inches in length (not including their tails).
- Tail Length: Both rats and mice have tails, but the tail length differs. Rats have longer, scaly tails that are roughly the same length as their bodies. Mice have thinner, longer tails that can be as long as their bodies.
- Ears and Eyes: Rats have larger, more prominent ears and eyes relative to their size, whereas mice have proportionally smaller ears and eyes.
- Body Shape: Rats have stocky bodies with blunt noses, while mice have smaller heads and more slender bodies.
- Behavior and Habits: Rats are often cautious and tend to avoid new objects placed in their environment. Mice, on the other hand, are curious and may readily investigate new items. Rats are generally more hesitant to try new foods, while mice are more likely to sample a wider variety of foods.
- Nesting Habits: Rats tend to build nests in hidden, secluded areas, often above ground. Mice prefer to nest in dark, quiet places that are closer to the ground, such as within walls or storage boxes.
- Droppings: Rat droppings are larger and capsule-shaped, whereas mouse droppings are smaller and have a more granular, rice-like appearance.
- Reproductive Rate: Mice are known for their rapid reproduction rates. A single female mouse can produce several litters in a year, leading to quick population growth. Rats reproduce at a slower rate in comparison.
- Damage and Impact: Both rats and mice can cause damage by gnawing on structures, wiring, and personal items. Rats are known for their powerful gnawing abilities, which can result in more extensive damage.
Understanding the differences between rats and mice can help you better identify the rodent species present in your property and develop targeted pest control strategies.

Controlling Rodent Infestations
Rodents are mammals, which makes them smarter than the average pest. They present a whole different challenge when it comes to controlling infestations when compared to insect infestations.
Rodents are extremely adaptable, which means tracking them down can be difficult. However, the same things as other pests essentially drive rodents: they are always looking for food, shelter, and water. Also, like other kinds of pests, they can contaminate your food, destroy your property, and spread different kinds of diseases.
When trying to tackle a rodent infestation, speed and efficiency are extremely important. When you call us for rodent control services, we will send a highly trained and licensed technician to your home to assess the scope of your rodent problem.
We will listen to your worries and needs before crafting a plan of attack that is customized to your situation. With our help, your rodent problem will be taken care of safely and effectively in no time at all!
