Rodents are small mammals with sharp, continuously growing front incisors. Forty-three percent of all mammals are rodents! Rodents are a recurring problem around Omaha, Nebraska homes and businesses because they take advantage of the food and protection our structures provide. Mice, Norway rats, pocket gophers, and voles are common invaders of our indoor and outdoor spaces.
Rodents can cause a lot of damage to our yards and structures. They are also able to spread diseases and parasites, making them not only destructive pests but dangerous. In homes, mice and rats chew through and damage wires, pipes, drywall, wood trim, flooring, furniture, clothing, and appliances. They also spread diseases and bacteria that make people ill like salmonella, E. coli, rate-bite fever, hantavirus, and leptospirosis.
Pocket gophers are destructive pests that ruin lawns and gardens. They tunnel through the ground and feed on plant and grass roots, causing significant damage or plant death. Gopher tunnels may extend under driveways, cement slabs, and foundations — causing structural damage. They can also dig or chew through pipes, wires, and cables.
Voles are another type of garden pest and can cause extensive damage to our lawns, landscaping, and fruit trees. They also are problematic in fields and may cause damage to crops. In yards, the entrance and exit holes at the beginning and end of their tunnels cause twisted ankles and make mowing difficult.
Rodents tend to be social animals, living together in colonies. Just a couple of rodents finding their way onto your Omaha property can lead to a large-scale infestation in a short period. If your property has favorable conditions (warm temperatures, plenty of food, and suitable nesting spots), rodents will take advantage.
The majority of rodents feed on seeds, nuts, roots, flowers, fruit, and meats, all things that are in most of our yards. Trash cans, bird feeders, compost piles, gardens, and grass will provide rodents with the food sources they are continually searching for.
Rodents are pests that live both inside and outside our houses, causing damage to our yards, homes, and personal belongings. Voles and gophers are rodents that rarely become a problem inside, but outside, they cause significant damage to our gardens and lawns.
Mice and Norway rats often move into our homes to escape harsh weather or while foraging for food. Mice are agile and good climbers and will nest either at ground level or above. Norway rats are not great climbers and are mostly found nesting on the ground floor of homes and other buildings.
Below are some common indoor nesting spots for mice:
