Rodent Control

House mice are excellent climbers found in fields, buildings, and even skyscrapers. They explore a small home range—usually under 30 feet—each day, searching for new objects. Mostly nocturnal, they feed and stay active between half an hour after sunset and before sunrise. Social and adaptable, they also swim well. Female house mice mature within 5 to 8 weeks and can produce up to 8 litters a year, averaging 4 to 7 pups per litter—up to 56 offspring annually.

Also known as the brown rat, gray rat, common rat, wharf rat, sewer rat, barn rat, or water rat, the Norway rat is a skilled burrower, strong swimmer, and competent climber. They typically nest in basements and lower parts of buildings. Nocturnal by nature, their peak activity and feeding occur between half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise. Norway rats live within a strict social hierarchy, where the biggest and strongest claim the best food and shelter. They reach sexual maturity in 8 to 12 weeks, producing 8 to 12 pups per litter and averaging 4 to 7 litters annually.

No. Once rats find food, water, and shelter indoors, they rarely leave. They reproduce quickly, spreading throughout the property. Only professional rodent control ensures complete elimination.

Preventive steps include storing food in sealed containers, cleaning up food waste promptly, and sealing wall cracks, pipes, and door gaps. For long-term prevention, Johnson Group can design an ongoing rodent management program.

The presence of rats usually indicates hygiene or structural issues such as open food, accumulated garbage, or gaps in walls and drains. Rodents contaminate food and can chew wires, causing fire hazards. Immediate action is essential upon detecting droppings, gnaw marks, or night noises.
