ID YOUR PROBLEM

To begin eliminating your rodent problems, start with a good inspection. Inspecting your home, shed or barn is important for determining which type of rodents are present: rats or mice. A good inspection provides three main valuable pieces of information:

              • Type of Infestation
              • Extent of Infestation
              • Location for Control Effort

It may be a dirty job but a necessary first step for determining your types of rodent problems. Examining the droppings can serve as evidence of an infestation and may help you identify your type of infestation. Age of droppings will tell you if your rodent problem is current. And the more droppings you have…the larger your infestation, which will help you determine your approach for rat control.

Victor® can help you ID your problem. Whether you have large or small rodent problems, Victor® has the best traps for rodent control.

Droppings

Fecal pellets are the most commonly encountered sign in a rodent inspection and serve as primary evidence to confirm an infestation.  Even a small population of mice can produce literally thousands of droppings in a short period of time.  By identifying the rodent droppings, you can determine:

 

 

Type of Infestation


       House Mice

              ◊    Qty: 50 to 75 pellets daily
              ◊    Size: ¼ inch long
              ◊    Shape: Small with 1 or both ends pointed


       Norway Rat

                   Qty: 40 to 50 pellets daily
                   Size: ¾ inch long
                   Shape: Larger, rectangular with blunt ends
                   Found in small groups


       Roof Rats

                  Qty: 40 to 50 pellets daily
                  Size: ½ inch long
                  Shape: Larger, curved, sausage shaped with pointed ends
                  Found scattered

Fresh droppings are dark in color and soft in texture, but after three days they harden and lose the dark color.  This will help you determine if you have a current infestation.

Size of Infestation

 

This one is pretty simple - the more dropping you have, the larger the infestation.  This will help you determine how many traps or bait need to be placed in a particular area.
