Common types of invading rodents:

Mice are the most common type of rodent that invades homes.

Mice can also squeeze through doorways and windows if they are not properly sealed.

Rats are similar to mice in that they can also fit through very small spaces. However, rats are larger than mice and they have a distinctive tail.

Squirrels are also similar to mice in that they can fit through small spaces, but they are much larger than mice. Squirrels often enter homes through chimneys or roof vents.
