Three rodents cause most trouble in Casa Grande. Pack rats, also called woodrats, build big nests of sticks, cactus pieces and trash under shrubs, in sheds and in car engine bays, where they chew wiring. Roof rats climb citrus and palm trees and get into attics through roof vents and gaps at the eaves. House mice slip in through gaps as small as a dime.
Signs include droppings in the garage or pantry, chewed wires, gnaw marks on boxes, scratching in the attic at night and nests near the house. Rodents move in more in fall and winter, but in irrigated neighborhoods near fields they stay active all year. Fallen citrus, bird seed and pet food left outside keep them fed.
Control has three parts. The technician traps the rodents already inside, seals the gaps they use with metal mesh and sealant, and removes or treats outdoor nests. Poison baits inside a home can leave a dead rat in a wall, so trapping is often used indoors. When cleaning droppings, spray them with a bleach mix first and do not sweep or vacuum dry, since deer mice can carry hantavirus in the Southwest.
