Common Rodents In New England

In New England, homeowners may encounter a variety of rodent species, each with its own distinct characteristics and behaviors, including:


House Mice - These small creatures are characterized by their agile bodies and remarkable reproductive capabilities, allowing them to multiply quickly and making them a persistent nuisance in homes and other buildings. Their adaptability enables them to thrive in close proximity to humans, often leading to infestations.


Deer Mice - Typically found in rural and suburban areas, these small rodents are known for their excellent agility and their ability to thrive in a wide range of environments. They can often find their way into homes, proving to be a common pest that homeowners must be vigilant against.


Norway Rats - Larger and notably more aggressive, Norway rats are notorious for their burrowing habits and preference for nesting in dark, hidden areas such as basements or under structures. Their presence can lead to significant structural damage and hygiene issues, making them a serious concern for homeowners.


Roof Rats - These rodents, with their slender bodies and strong climbing abilities, often seek refuge in attics and overhead spaces. Their tendency to invade higher areas of homes can pose unique challenges for pest control.
