Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between rat and mouse droppings?
Rat droppings are significantly larger (1/2 to 3/4 inch versus 1/4 inch for mice), darker, and blunt at the ends rather than pointed. Norway rat droppings are capsule-shaped while roof rat droppings are spindle-shaped with pointed ends.
How serious is a rat problem?
Rats pose serious health and safety risks. They transmit diseases, contaminate food supplies, and cause structural damage by gnawing wiring, pipes, and wood. A single rat produces 25,000 droppings annually. Professional control is strongly recommended.
Why do Glover homes have more rats problems?
Glover's proximity to water creates humidity that rats thrive in. We address both the immediate infestation and the underlying moisture conditions that attract these pests.
