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, or whenever they are pushed out of their natural habitat by human expansion. The four major rodents found in Idaho are: mice, gophers, voles and rats.

Mice are very prolific. 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. Under ideal conditions, a single pair can produce a major infestation in a short amount of time.
There are two major species of mice in Idaho, the House mouse and the Deer mouse. Both the House mouse and the Deer mouse present a real issue of sanitation. Because they leave behind pheromones in their urine, it is imperative to continue preventive treatments to reduce the possibility of a re-infestation from other mice.
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 their tail. The house mouse is the most common rodent pest found in America.
Deer mice are usually lighter brown on top and have a white underbelly. They also average 3 to 6 inches, including their tail. The deer mouse is also common, especially in rural areas. Wlile Deer mice prefer to live in barns, well houses and storage sheds they will, invade homes when their natural nesting areas are disturbed. The deadly hanta virus is typically carried by deer mice.
