Mice and rats are easily confused because a young rat can bare a striking resemblance to a full-grown mouse. How can you tell which pest is present?

Identifying Mice and Rats

The best way to determine a pest problem is through the professional aid of a qualified technician. Northeast Pest Control can help you do just that with an on-site inspection. Here are some identifying factors of mice and rats that we see often:

House Mouse

Small and round at about 2-3” Light brown to black
Leave behind small droppings, pointed at both ends
Gnaw and chew on furniture, plastic, and cardboard
Produce dime-sized gnawed holes

Brown to blackish-brown
Commonly mistaken for moles
Can seriously damage lawns and gardens
Leave shallow runways that crisscross

Norway Rats
