Mice & Rats in northern Nevada
As the high desert cools each fall, house mice and rats push into Reno and Sparks homes looking for warmth, food, and water. Garages, attics, crawl spaces, and wall voids are the usual targets, and homes near open fields, the river, or older neighborhoods see the most pressure. A mouse only needs a gap the size of a dime, so real control is as much about sealing the home as it is about trapping.
Why it matters
Rodents contaminate food, spread disease, and chew wiring, a genuine fire hazard, while multiplying quickly if the entry points aren't sealed.
