What Are The Most Common Rodents in Georgia?
While there’s a long list of rodents that can get into a home, ranging from snakes to mice, our rodent control services focus exclusively on rats and mice. The most common rodents we find are:
- White-footed Mouse: This species of mouse is found throughout Georgia in a variety of habitats, including forests, fields, and residential areas.
- Cotton Rat: Cotton rats are medium-sized rodents found in grassy areas throughout Georgia. They are named for their tendency to build nests using cotton.
- House Mouse: House mice are a common pest found in homes and buildings throughout Georgia. They are small, brown rodents with relatively large ears and tails.
- Norway Rat: Also known as brown rats, Norway rats are common in urban and suburban areas throughout Georgia. They are larger than house mice and have brownish-gray fur.
I Understand How Some of These Animals Get Inside a Home or a Crawlspace? How Do They Get in Attics?
Squirrels, mice, rats, and bats are all known to frequently inhabit attics, albeit for different reasons and in different seasons. However, mice and rats are the most notorious. Mice are known to seek shelter in human structures, including attics. They can squeeze through very small openings, and once inside, they build nests using materials found in the attic insulation or other debris. Attics provide mice with protection from predators and access to food sources, such as stored grains or crumbs.
And, yes, snakes in Georgia, such as rat snakes and other species, can occasionally find their way into homes. However, this is less common compared to rodents. Snakes may enter attics in search of prey, such as rodents or birds, or seeking shelter from extreme weather conditions. Snakes can gain entry to attics through openings or gaps in the roof, vents, or other entry points. They are skilled climbers and can also access attics by climbing up the exterior walls of buildings.
If you suspect rats and mice have taken up residence in your attic, it’s essential to address the issue promptly to prevent other pests from trying to enter the home to chase after rats and mice as food.
