Pest Control Information on Idaho Rodents
Idaho Rodents - Rats - Mice - Gophers and Voles
Rodents are a particular problem because they are very destructive. Rodents are one of the major causes for house fires in America and are also infamous for carrying diseases. They can also bring other pests, including fleas and ticks into homes. Rodents enter homes during the colder months of the year and also when they are pushed out of their natural habitat by human expansion. There are four major rodents that Gemtek Pest Control typically deals with. Rats, Mice, Gophers, and Voles all are very common pests found in the Treasure Valley.
Gemtek Pest Control Maintenance Programs Can Eliminate Pesting Mice
There are two major mice species in Idaho, the house mouse and the deer mouse. The house mouse is the most common rodent pest found in America. House mice are very prolific. In fact, under ideal conditions, a single pair can produce over 2,500 offspring in 6 months! House mice are recognized by their uniformity of color. They are usually a darker grey color and range in size from 3 to 6 inches including the tail. The gestation period for mice is about 19 days and they reach sexual maturity as early as 6 - 10 weeks and can reproduce year round.
The deer mouse is also common, especially in rural areas. Deer mice prefer to live in barns, well houses and storage sheds. They will, however, invade homes when their natural nesting areas are disturbed. Deer mice are usually lighter brown on top and have a white underbelly. They also average 3 to 6 inches in size.
