Rodent Species Native to Northern Virginia
Several species of rodent are native to our area of Virginia. Understanding how these various species behave, what habitats they prefer, and how likely they are to invade residential spaces can help you make informed pest control decisions.
Our local homes are vulnerable to infestations of:
- House mice (Mus musculus): Small and agile house mice are often found in kitchens and storage areas. They are known for their rapid breeding and can reproduce as often as every three weeks.
- Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus): Larger and more robust than other rodents, Norway rats prefer to burrow and can often be found in basements or near garbage sources. They are known for their strong jaws and can gnaw through almost anything.
- Roof rats (Rattus rattus): These rats are excellent climbers and prefer to inhabit higher areas, such as attics or roofs. They can also be found in trees and shrubs, posing a risk to homes with overhanging branches.
- Eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis): While not typically considered pests, gray squirrels can invade attics or chimneys in search of shelter. They are agile and can easily access roofs.
- Field mice (Apodemus sylvaticus): Generally found in rural or suburban areas, field mice can invade gardens and homes, especially during colder months as they search for warmth and food.
If you spot any of these rodents near your property, contacting a professional pest control service like Sure Shot Pest Control can help you keep them away from your property and in the wild where they belong.

Protecting Your Attic of Crawlspace from Rodents
Keeping your attic and crawlspace rodent-free is an essential part of maintaining a healthy home environment. At Sure Shot Pest Control, we offer professional preventative treatments tailored to effectively keep these pests at bay. However, there are also several things you can do to make your home less attractive to rodents.
Take proactive steps like:
- Sealing entry points: Inspect your home for gaps and cracks, particularly around doors, windows, and foundations. Use materials such as steel wool or caulk to close these openings.
- Maintaining cleanliness: Store food in airtight containers and tidy your kitchen and pantry to eliminate accessible food sources.
- Limiting clutter: Keep your attic and crawlspace free of clutter, as rodents often seek shelter in messy areas.
- Managing outdoor areas: Trim back shrubs and tree branches that hang over your roof, as these can provide pathways for rodents to access your home.
- Disposing of waste properly: Ensure garbage bins are sealed and remove any debris or organic waste that could attract rodents, such as fallen fruits or nuts.
These steps, when combined with our professional treatments, can create an inhospitable environment for rodents and protect your home from infestations.
How Rodents Impact Your Health and Safety
Rodents are known carriers of various diseases, including leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella, which can spread through their droppings, urine, or saliva. When these pests invade your home, they can contaminate food surfaces and create unhygienic living conditions. Even the allergens produced by rodent droppings and urine can trigger asthma or allergy symptoms, making it crucial to address infestations promptly.
In addition to health concerns, rodents can also cause significant safety hazards in your home. Their constant gnawing can lead to damaged wiring, insulation, and wooden structures, increasing the risk of fire and structural weakness. Their nests can block ventilation systems or access points, heightening the potential for moisture-related issues, such as mold growth. By keeping your home rodent-free through proper prevention and control measures, you not only safeguard your health but also maintain a secure and comfortable living environment.
