Rats are larger, highly adaptable rodents that infest homes, businesses, and sewers. The two most common species are Norway rats (brown rats) and roof rats (black rats). They chew through wood, wires, and pipes, leading to electrical fires and water damage. Rats spread diseases like leptospirosis and salmonella through their urine and droppings. Signs of infestation include gnaw marks, rat nests, and grease trails along walls. Professional extermination is necessary due to their rapid reproduction and intelligence.
Small burrowing rodents that create surface runways, damaging lawns, gardens, and trees.
Nocturnal gliding rodents that nest in attics and chew on insulation and wiring.
