Rodent Information
and Control
Rodents such as rats and mice are among the most destructive and unhygienic pests found in residential, commercial, and agricultural settings. They contaminate food, chew through wires and structures, and are known carriers of serious diseases like leptospirosis, hantavirus, and plague. Their rapid breeding and ability to squeeze through tiny openings make them difficult to control without professional help.Protect your home or business from rodents and mice by learning techniques for identification and control.

What do rodents look like ?
Rodents, including rats and mice, are small to medium-sized mammals known for their sharp front teeth used for constant gnawing. Rats typically have thick, scaly tails, pointed snouts, and large ears, and they can grow up to 30 cm in length including the tail. Mice are smaller—around 7 to 10 cm—with slender bodies, large ears, and long, thin tails. Both have brown, grey, or black fur, and their droppings, gnaw marks, and greasy rub marks along walls are common signs of their presence.

Where Are Rodents Found?
Rodents such as rats and mice are commonly found in places that provide easy access to food, water, and shelter. Indoors, they hide in kitchens, storerooms, basements, behind appliances, inside wall cavities, and under furniture. Outdoors, they nest in garbage areas, sewage lines, gardens, drainage systems, and near compost or wood piles. Commercial spaces like warehouses, restaurants, and farms are also highly vulnerable to rodent infestations. Rodents are most active at night and can squeeze through tiny openings to enter buildings. At AIPM Pest Management, we identify these entry points and nesting zones to deliver safe and effective rodent control solutions.
Rodents are attracted to places with easy access to food, water, and shelter, making homes, commercial spaces, and urban areas ideal for survival.
