Mice and rats are pests that can pose a health risk to humans. They can carry diseases as well as contaminate food. They also cause structural damage to buildings generally by gnawing on wires, pipes, insulation, furniture, etc. Above all they have a few biological adaptations that make them successful as pests.
They are nocturnal animals, meaning they only come out at night when humans are asleep. Consequently, making it hard for people to notice their presence until the infestation is too big to be controlled by any other means than professional pest control services like Patriot Pest Control based in Jackson & Lansing, MI, as well as surrounding areas.
Mice and rats are rodents—small mammals with continuously growing front teeth. Because they must gnaw to keep their teeth manageable, they chew on things you don’t want damaged: wiring, wood, plastic, insulation, and stored items.
In Michigan, the most common rodent issues we see include:
Mice: smaller, fast breeders, can squeeze into tiny openings
Rats: larger, more destructive, often more cautious and harder to spot
No matter the species, the goal is the same: exterminate active rodents and stop them from getting back in.
Rodents usually stay hidden—so the first “obvious” sign often means activity has already been happening for a while. Watch for:
Droppings in drawers, cabinets, basements, garages, or near pet food
Scratching or movement noises at night in walls, ceilings, or attic spaces
Chew marks on food packaging, wires, trim, or stored boxes
Greasy rub marks along baseboards or near entry points
A strong, unpleasant odor in enclosed areas (heavier activity)
Nesting material (shredded paper/insulation) in hidden corners
If you’re noticing any of these in Jackson or Lansing, it’s time to get professional help—rodents multiply quickly and are tough to eliminate without a complete plan.
Rodents don’t need a “big hole” to become a big problem. Small gaps near:
utility lines and pipes
garage door edges
vents and soffits
foundation cracks
crawlspace access points
…can become a repeat entry path. Effective rodent control isn’t just removing what you see—it’s preventing the next wave.
Rodents can enter your home through spaces as small as a dime. The best way to eliminate a rodent infestation is by preventing it altogether—storing food away from the floor, which is more challenging for rodents to find. Keep cardboard boxes off the floor so mice cannot chew them apart to make bedding. Seal any holes on the exterior of your home to prevent rodents from climbing in.
