If you’re hearing scratching in the walls, finding droppings, or noticing chewed wires, you may have a rodent problem. Rats and mice can spread disease, contaminate food, and cause costly property damage.

At Empyrean Pest Management, we provide safe, effective rodent control solutions that eliminate active infestations and prevent rodents from returning.

What Are Rodents?

Rodents such as rats and mice are common in Sacramento due to the warm climate and dense residential areas. The most common species include:

• House mice
• Norway rats
• Roof rats

Rodents reproduce rapidly. A single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring in just a few months. Once inside a home, they nest in:

• Attics
• Wall voids
• Garages
• Behind appliances

They chew constantly to keep their teeth filed down, which can lead to damaged insulation, wood, and even electrical wiring.

Signs You Have a Rodent Infestation

You may have a rat or mouse problem if you notice:

• Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings
• Droppings in cabinets, drawers, or along baseboards
• Gnaw marks on wires, food packaging, or wood
• Nests made of shredded paper or insulation
• Grease marks along walls
• Unusual pet behavior near walls or appliances
• Foul or musty odors

If you see a rodent during the day, the infestation may already be significant.

What To Do While Waiting for a Technician

If you suspect rodents in your home:

• Avoid handling droppings without gloves
• Do not vacuum dry droppings (this can spread bacteria into the air)
• Keep food sealed in airtight containers
• Remove pet food overnight
• Seal obvious food sources
• Keep children and pets away from affected areas

If you must clean droppings:

• Wear gloves
• Spray droppings with disinfectant
• Wipe up with paper towels
• Dispose in sealed plastic bags

Avoid using poison baits without professional guidance. Improper placement can result in rodents dying inside walls, causing odor issues and secondary pest problems.
