The three most common rodents encountered in B.C. are the House Mouse, the Norway Rat, and the Roof Rat. All of these rodents are good jumpers, climbers swimmers and gnawers. The most important signs of rodents are droppings, tracks, runways, gnawings, urine stains, odour, nests and rodent gnawed food.
Rodents are more apt to be seen or heard shortly after dark and in the early morning.
Because the incisor teeth grow continuously, they must gnaw to keep them worn down. You may find gnawed wood and other items. Call The Pest Doctor. Our thanks to the Urban Entomology Program, University of Toronto for the photo of termites.
