The common house mouse can squeeze through very small openings, find food and shelter in buildings, and reproduce rapidly. House mice contaminate food and surfaces with their droppings and urine, which can carry harmful bacteria such as Salmonella. They also chew on wires, insulation, and stored items, potentially causing fires or costly property damage.
The Norway rat (also known as the brown rat or sewer rat) is a larger, more destructive rodent. The IDPH describes them as “destructive pests … [that] eat and contaminate food, damage buildings and other property by their gnawing and burrowing, and may spread diseases that affect people and pets.” They can exploit openings as small as ½ inch across to enter structures.
While voles are primarily outdoor rodents and less likely to invade buildings, they can cause serious damage to lawns, gardens, and landscapes. The University of Illinois Extension states that voles “can cause serious damage and even death of woody plants” and create tunnels or runways often under snow.
