| Norway Rat |
|
As fall approaches, mice and rats will start looking for warmth, food, and shelter. Most rodents live in woods and fields, but there are three species of mice and rats that live with people. These are the house mouse, Norway rat, and roof rat. All three of these species live in Georgia.
A mouse only needs an opening the size of a dime to enter your home. The most common entry point is at the base of exterior doors and garage doors. Other entry points include areas where pipes, wires, or cables enter the house. To keep unwanted guests out, seal up these entry points and replace weather stripping if any gaps are present. If you are in the house or garage and can see light coming through under the door, a mouse can probably get through, too. Cleanliness can also help to avoid attracting rodents to your house, so cover all garbage cans and keep the area around the house clean and free of debris.
