Types of Rodents
Mice are extremely success mammals and are found almost everywhere. Their scientific name, Musculus, means “little thief”. Mice are small rodents with a pointed nose, a furry round body, with large ears and a long tail.
If you hear a lot of noise in your attic, you might have an infestation of roof rats. Roof rats are also called black rats, or ship rats. They have a longer tail than a Norway rat and are usually darker in color and have a sleeker build. Roof rats are adept climbers.
Deer mice have greyish to brown fur, while their underbody is lighter in color, usually white. When it comes to bad pests, there are few things as damaging and nasty as the furry little deer mouse.
Norway rats have a grey to brown body and are like to live at the ground level. They often live underground in sewers or in burrows. Like all rats, Norway rats transmit a number of unpleasant bacteria, viruses, and pathogens.
