Breeding age: As early as 3 months

Norway Rat

They can be found in moist areas such as gardens and ditches. Usually, Norway rats will typically stay underground.

Roof rats are the most common type found in households around the U.S. Rats otherwise known as black rats are smaller in size and have tails that are longer than the bodies. Roof rats, as the name suggests, climb up to your roofs and other places such as trees, gutters, and weep holes. They most often build their nests above ground in attics, ceilings, and atop stored items in the garages. However, they are found in homes close to a body of water, full of bacteria, and covered with fleas. They are as clever and dangerous like the Norway rat.
Norway Rat
House mice are considerable smaller on the rodent spectrum. They have a small pointed nose with small rounded ears, and have a long hairless tail. They are a very common rodent to homes and businesses. Their hair is short and light brown. These type of mice enter into your home through small openings and crevices.
Are These Rodents Dangerous?
​
While rodents aren’t typically aggressive, they can become dangerous if cornered and may bite in self-defense. It’s best to avoid direct contact and leave removal to trained professionals.
Rodents constantly gnaw on objects—including wires, pipes, drywall, flooring, and plastic—to keep their ever-growing teeth in check. This behavior can lead to serious property damage and even increase the risk of electrical fires or plumbing issues.
Beyond the physical damage, rodents pose significant health risks:
-
They can carry and spread diseases and bacteria that cause illness in humans and pets.
-
Rodents often bring parasites such as ticks, fleas, and mites into your home, which can easily transfer to pets, bedding, or furniture.
Protect your home and health—if you suspect rodent activity, contact Gulf Coast Pest Control for safe, effective, and professional rodent removal backed by years of experience and a 1-year warranty.

Rodents are constantly gnawing on objects, such as wires, pipes, drywall, floors, and plastic to prevent their teeth from overgrowing.
