Common Rodents in North Carolina

Different Types of Rodents

North Carolina is home to various rodent species that can pose challenges for homeowners and businesses. Some of the most common rodents in the region include:

• Deer Mice: Small rodents with large eyes and a bicolored appearance, often found in rural and semi-rural areas. They tend to invade homes during colder months.
• House Mice: Smaller than deer mice, they have pointed noses, large ears, and light brown or gray fur. These mice are highly adaptable and thrive in urban and suburban environments.
• Meadow Voles: Also known as field mice, these stocky rodents have short tails and small eyes. They prefer grassy fields and meadows, where they create extensive burrow systems.
• Norway Rats: Robust rodents with coarse fur and small ears, commonly found in urban areas. They are known for nesting in burrows and their destructive gnawing behavior, along with disease transmission.

Each of these species has unique habits and characteristics that can affect the approach needed for effective control and management.
