Most Common Rats in Memphis
Due to the Mid-South’s climate and proximity to the Mississippi River, homeowners and businesses are prone to critter problems. Whether you live in Germantown, Lakeland, or the Olive Branch, MS, area, it’s common to have rodents invade your home. The most common pests in the Shelby County area are Mice, Brown Rats (Norway Rats), and Roof Rats.
House Mouse
Mice are small with brown to gray colored hair and small black eyes. These critters are typically active at night and can be heard scurrying inside your walls or ceilings. Even though they are small, these pests can cause extensive damage in a short amount of time due to their constant gnawing of wood, plastic, and electrical wires.
Roof Rats
Black, or roof rats, have long tails, large ears, and pointed noses. They are larger than mice and can gnaw through wires, insulation, and even structural building elements to access food and shelter. These critters are great climbers and can be found in attics, rafters, and other areas.
Norway Rats
Norway rats are large pests with small ears and blunt noses. These critters can be found in basements, crawlspaces, and underground areas. They are strong scavengers and are known to cause structural damage by gnawing through walls and pipes.
Not only can all of these critters cause significant damage to your home, but they also carry diseases such as the Hantavirus, Leptospirosis, Salmonella, and Tularemia. If you wait too long, your small problem could turn into a rat infestation. It is crucial to hire a professional removal company immediately to ensure the protection of your family and your home.

Signs of a Rat Problem in Your Memphis Home
Mice and rats are stealthy creatures that can squeeze through very tight spaces into your house. However, these pests always leave behind clues that indicate their presence. If you notice any of the following, call Alpha Wildlife immediately.
Rodent Droppings: Mouse feces are small, dark, and pellet-shaped. Roof rat droppings are typically pointed on the ends, while Norway rat droppings are blunt on the ends. If you find rodent feces around your home, call us right away!
Gnaw Marks: The front teeth of rats and mice never stop growing, so they chew on things all the time to wear their teeth down and keep them sharp. They tend to chew on electrical wires, wood, drywall, and other parts of your home.
Scratching Noises: These pests like to burrow in crawlspaces, around foundations, or in attics. If you hear scratching noises or scurrying in these areas, these critters will be close by.
Foul Odors: A strong, musky, ammonia-like odor can occur from urine, droppings, and nesting materials.

Are they in my Attic? Where do Critters Like to Hide?
Rats often find small spaces and openings to enter your home where they will seek shelter and cause property damage. Regular inspections and sealing gaps are key to preventing infestations.
Attic
Attics are a favorite spot since they are warm, dry, and often easily accessible through gaps in the roof or vents.
Crawl Space
Damp, dark areas attract critters that damage wiring and structures. Keep clean, ventilated, and sealed, with regular inspections to prevent infestations.
Chimney
Chimneys provide a direct path to warmth, making them a cozy option for critters that fill them with nesting materials. Install a chimney cap and perform regular maintenance and inspection to prevent blockages to eliminate fire hazards.
Garage
Garages can provide easy access to food supplies and protection from the elements, which makes them an attractive spot for animals. Keeping your garage door closed and storing food securely can deter them.
Walls
Wall cavities and small spaces are used for nests, which can lead to scratching noises and droppings left behind. Seal entry points and seek professional experts to treat the issue effectively.
Keep a close eye on these areas around your home. If you notice anything unusual, call us ASAP!
