    Common Rodent Species in the Reno Area

    • Roof Rat and Norway Rat – The Norway rat is only occasionally found in Nevada, identified by a tail shorter than its body length and coloring that ranges from grayish brown on the back to gray-white on the belly. The Roof rat is more common in the Las Vegas area than in Reno, identified by a tail longer than its head and body combined, large ears, and a total length ranging from 11” to 16” from nose to tail.
    • Desert Woodrat – Also known as the Packrat. Large eyes and hair-covered ears; coloring is yellowish brown to grayish brown on top and gray below. The tail is bicolored: dark on top, white below, and the feet are white. Primarily nocturnal, Desert Woodrats gather debris for nests built in burrows when they aren’t feeding.
    • House Mouse – The most common rodent in the Reno area. Identified by large ears, a pointed muzzle, and grayish coloring, house mice adapt readily to indoor environments but are also found outdoors. Populations often move inside when weather becomes severe. They have poor eyesight and are colorblind, but rely on a keen sense of smell, taste, hearing, and touch to navigate and find food.
    • Deer Mouse – A known Hantavirus host in the region. The virus is transmitted through the saliva, feces, or urine of infected animals; infection typically occurs through inhalation and can cause severe, potentially fatal respiratory illness. The deer mouse is identified by its distinct bicolored tail: darker on top, lighter on the underside.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Rodent Control in Reno

    How Do I Know If I Have a Rodent Infestation?

    The most common signs are droppings, gnaw marks, scratching noises, and foul odors. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection with a professional pest control service as soon as possible.

    Are DIY Rodent Control Methods Effective?

    DIY methods like traps and repellents may provide temporary relief but rarely eliminate the root cause of an infestation. Professional rodent control addresses entry points and nesting areas for long-term management.

    What Diseases Do Rodents Carry?

    Rodents can spread Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis through their droppings and urine. Proper removal and sanitation are essential to reduce these health risks.

    How Long Does Professional Rodent Control Take?

    It depends on the severity of the infestation. Minor cases may be addressed within a few days; more significant infestations can take weeks to bring under control and reduce the risk of recurrence.

    Can Rodents Cause Structural Damage to My Home?

    Yes. Rodents chew through electrical wiring, wood, insulation, and plumbing, creating costly damage and potential fire hazards. Early intervention helps reduce the risk of major repairs.

    What Can I Do to Prevent Rodents from Returning After Treatment?

    Sealing entry points, storing food properly, and keeping a clean home are the most effective ongoing steps. Our team can provide customized recommendations specific to your property.

    I Think I Saw a Deer Mouse. What Should I Do?

    Don’t disturb any nesting sites or droppings. The deer mouse is a known Hantavirus carrier in Nevada, and disturbing contaminated material can release virus particles into the air. Avoid handling anything the mouse may have contacted and call us for professional removal. A free estimate is available by phone at (775) 535-5788 or through our contact form.
