Rodent Information
Signs of Rats & Mice Pests
Finding signs of rats or mice around you home can be unsettling. Have you found mouse or rat droppings in your kitchen or basement?
Mouse Fact
Rodents Reproduce Quickly
In the right environment, Rodents can breed quickly. If you see a Rodent or the tell-tail signs do not delay, you need to get this issue resolved quickly.
Female house mice have an estrous cycle of about four to six days long. Once pregnant the gestation period is about 19–21 days, and they give birth to a litter on average six to eight pups.
One female can have 5 to 10 litters per year, so the mouse population can increase very quickly. Breeding occurs throughout the year.
Rodent Control Is Important
Rats and mice cause anxiety and sometimes even fear for many people—and for good reasons.

How to tell if you have a rat or mouse infestation?
These are the tell-tail signs of a rodent(s) in your home. If you notice any of these signs, call Solutions Pest Control.
Mice
Mice in the house:
- Rodent droppings can be found in drawers, cupboards and hidden areas, near food, and along rodent runways.
- Gnaw marks, generally on food packages or walls.
- Odour, usually a stale smell. If you have pets, their behaviour may change in response to this smell. If your cat or dog has recently become interested in an area that they didn’t bother with before, examine the area closely for other signs of infestation.
- Tracks and runways: smudge marks (left by grease and dirt on their bodies), footprints (especially apparent in dusty areas), urine stains, or droppings.
- Nests made of shredded cardboard, paper, fabric, or dried plant material.
- Scratching noises, especially at night.
Rats
Rats in the yard:
- Rat holes, often next to solid objects or structures like sheds.
- Gnaw marks on compost bins, wooden doors or decking.
- Nests made of shredded cardboard, paper, fabric, or dried plant material.
