Common Rodents in Columbus
Ohio is one of the top states in the country when it comes to rodent problems, and cities like Columbus are no exception. The cold winters push rodents to find shelter indoors, while urban areas offer plenty of food and cozy nesting spots. Add in factors like nearby wooded areas and aging infrastructure, and it’s no surprise Ohio creates the perfect environment for rodents to settle in.
The most common rodents we deal with include:
- House mice - These small, curious rodents are often found in basements, kitchens, and garages. House mice are prolific breeders and highly adaptable to indoor settings.
- Norway rats - Known for their size and burrowing tendencies, Norway rats often nest in basements or ground-level areas. They are particularly destructive and can chew through almost anything.
- Roof rats - These agile climbers are known to make their nests in attics, ceilings, and other high places. Roof rats are commonly drawn to food sources indoors.
No matter the type of rodent causing issues in your property, TORCO™ has the knowledge and methods to address the situation effectively.
How Do I Know If I Have a Rodent Problem?
Rodents are nocturnal creatures that often go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. Here are some common signs of a rodent infestation:
- Scratching noises in walls or ceilings
- Droppings in kitchen cabinets or along baseboards
- Chewed wires, insulation, or food packaging
- Unpleasant odors caused by rodent urine or nesting materials
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s crucial to act quickly before the infestation worsens.
What Steps Can I Take to Prevent Rodents in My Home?
Preventing a rodent infestation starts with eliminating their access points and food sources. Homeowners in Columbus can take these proactive measures:
- Seal cracks and gaps in walls, doors, and windows.
- Keep food stored in airtight containers.
- Maintain a clean and clutter-free home.
- Trim overgrown vegetation near your house.
