About Rats and Mice

Rats
Rats are larger rodents that can be a real problem for Knoxville homes. The two common types in the area are brown rats and roof rats. The brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), or Norway rat, usually burrows in basements and lower levels, while the roof rat tends to make their homes in attics or high spaces. They are well-known for leaving gnaw marks on electrical wires, creating significant fire hazards, and damaging walls and insulation. They also pose health dangers, as they can spread diseases like salmonella, leptospirosis, and rat-bite fever through their droppings and urine.

Mice
Mice (Mus musculus) may be small, but they can cause significant problems for your property. The most common species is the house mouse, which often infiltrates homes and businesses for food and warmth. These tiny creatures can contaminate food supplies, gnaw on wiring and insulation, and carry diseases like Hantavirus and LCMV (Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus). Because they reproduce quickly, it’s essential to promptly address infestations to prevent more serious issues from developing later.
