Why You Need Professional Rodent Pest Control
Rodents are a big problem, plain and simple. They spread disease, contaminate your space, and cause property damage to your indoor and outdoor areas. To make matters worse, seeing just one rat doesn't mean it's the only one; if you see one, more are likely close behind, waiting for you to go to bed to come out and find something to eat.
Believe it or not, mice and rats are also quite intelligent and agile, making them a more challenging pest issue than insects and arachnids. Rodents' adaptable nature and flexible bodies make it easy for them to get into various environments and thrive, from attics to kitchen cupboards.
Despite your best efforts, DIY solutions or store-bought traps won't cut it with an infestation of these whiskered rodents. You must call a pest control professional as soon as you notice the signs of a rodent infestation, before it worsens.
Common Signs of a Rodent Infestation
- Rodent droppings
- The scent of urine, droppings, rotting food, or other waste
- Food remnants stashed around the house
- Scratching or squeaking sounds
- Nibbled holes or claw marks
- Chewed wires, insulation, wood, or other items

Common Mice and Rats We Remove + How to Identify Them
At Vulcan Termite & Pest Control, we remove many different species of rodents. Rats and mice are different rodent species and can vary in size, weight, behavior, and diet; sometimes, their differences distinguish them into distinct breeds.
These differences are key to knowing how to get rid of the types of rodents you're dealing with. The most common difference between rats and mice is their size. Rats are significantly larger and heavier than mice. Here are some of the most common species of mice and rats we see in Alabama homes:
House Mice
The house mouse is small, with pointed ears and beady eyes. Its color ranges from light brown to black. The little guys primarily seek shelter in human homes, where they also find food and water. House mice are most active at night.
Mice exterminators are necessary to rid your home of these furry pests, as they commonly multiply into infestations. When you need house mouse solutions, we've got them!
Norway Rats
The Norway Rat is a widespread species of common rat. The brown rat is large with a signature short tail that tapers at the end. These rats burrow to create complex tunnels to seek shelter and hide their food. They are not expert climbers, so they typically prefer to remain on the bottom floor of buildings.
Roof Rats
Hence their name, roof rats are skilled climbers, so there's no building too tall for them. They are brown and black in color and larger in size. Their constant chewing usually damages electrical wires, insulation, and wood, which causes structural damage over time.
