Mice or Rats? Found Droppings but Not Sure Which One?

Finding droppings or hearing scratching in your home can tell you that you have a rodent problem — but it doesn’t always tell you which rodent you’re dealing with.

Mice and rats have important differences in:

Body size
Ear and tail shape
Snout shape
Dropping size and shape
Travel patterns
Behaviour around traps
Entry-point requirements

One of the easiest clues to check is the droppings:

Mouse droppings: Small and rice-grain sized
Rat droppings: Larger and more capsule-shaped

Correct identification matters because mice and rats can require different inspection, trapping, entry-point sealing, and treatment approaches.

Not sure if you’re dealing with mice or rats?

Thinking About Removing a Wasp Nest Yourself? Read This First.

A small, exposed wasp nest is very different from a large colony hidden inside a wall, attic, soffit, or underground.

Before attempting DIY wasp removal, ask:

Is the nest smaller than a tennis ball?
Is it fully visible and easy to reach?
Can you treat it safely at night?
Is no one nearby allergic to stings?
Can you maintain a clear escape route?

If the nest is large, hidden, difficult to reach, requires a ladder, or you are unsure what type of wasp you’re dealing with, professional removal may be the safer option.

Our latest guide explains when DIY wasp removal may be appropriate, the precautions that matter, common mistakes to avoid, and when to call a professional.

Hearing Scratching Sounds or Finding Mouse Droppings in Your Calgary Home?

Before setting traps or trying DIY solutions, the first step is finding out where the mice are getting in and how active the problem really is.

A professional mouse inspection is usually a straightforward process that takes around 30–60 minutes.

During the inspection, technicians check:

Entry points around the foundation and utility pipes
Garage doors and weatherstripping
Vents, soffits, and roofline gaps
Droppings and gnaw marks
Nesting material
Travel paths and grease marks
Kitchens, basements, attics, and other activity areas

The inspection helps determine what’s happening, where the problem is coming from, and what treatment may be needed.

Are Mice Moving Into Your Home This Fall?

The first sign of mice is rarely seeing an actual mouse.

You may notice something small first — scratching sounds at night, tiny dark droppings, gnaw marks on food packaging, or a strange musty smell.

As temperatures drop, mice start looking for warmth, shelter, and reliable food, making fall an important time to check your home for signs of activity.

Look out for:

Small dark droppings near food or cabinets
Scratching or rustling sounds at night
Gnaw marks on cardboard, plastic, or food packaging
Musty or stale odours in enclosed spaces
Grease marks along walls and baseboards

The earlier you notice these signs, the easier it can be to address the problem before activity increases.

Why Do Wasp Nests Become More Dangerous Every Fall?

That small wasp nest you noticed in July may be a very different problem by late September.

As summer ends, wasp colonies can reach their peak size. At the same time, natural food sources become harder to find, bringing wasps closer to homes, garbage bins, gardens, patios, and outdoor living areas.

Watch for these warning signs:

Increased wasp activity around one specific area
Visible paper-like nests under eaves or around sheds
Wasps entering and leaving a wall, attic, or soffit
Ground holes with heavy wasp activity
Increased wasp activity around garbage or food
Buzzing or rustling sounds inside walls or roof areas

A large or hidden nest can be difficult and risky to deal with yourself, especially during the fall when colonies may be larger and more defensive.

Our latest guide explains why fall wasp nests become more dangerous, where they commonly hide, what warning signs to look for, and when professional removal is the safer option.

Thinking About Removing a Wasp Nest Yourself? Read This First.

Not every wasp nest should be treated as a DIY project.

A small, exposed nest in an easy-to-reach location is very different from a large colony hidden inside a wall, attic, soffit, or underground.

Before attempting removal, consider:

Is the nest small and clearly visible?
Is it low and safely reachable without a ladder?
Can you treat it at night when wasps are less active?
Is everyone nearby safe from sting-related risks?
Can you maintain a clear escape route?

If the nest is large, hidden, difficult to reach, or you’re unsure what type of wasp you’re dealing with, professional removal may be the safer option.

Our latest guide explains when DIY wasp removal may be appropriate, what precautions matter, common mistakes to avoid, and when it’s time to call a professional.

Mice or Rats? Found Droppings but Not Sure Which One?

Finding droppings or hearing scratching in your home can tell you that you have a rodent problem — but it doesn’t always tell you which rodent you’re dealing with.

Mice and rats have important differences in:

Body size
Ear and tail shape
Snout shape
Dropping size and shape
Travel patterns
Behaviour around traps and new objects
Entry-point requirements

One of the easiest clues to check is the droppings:

Mouse droppings: Small and rice-grain sized
Rat droppings: Larger and more capsule-shaped

Getting the identification right can help determine the appropriate inspection, entry-point sealing, and treatment approach.

Think Your Home Is Sealed Against Mice? Think Again.

A mouse doesn’t need a big hole to get inside.

Mice can squeeze through openings as small as 6–7 mm — roughly the size of a dime.

Common entry points include:

Gaps around utility pipes and cables
Foundation cracks
Garage door gaps
Damaged or missing vent screens
Gaps around doors and windows
Roofline and attic openings

The tricky part is that many of these entry points are easy to miss during a normal walk around your home.

Our latest guide explains where mice commonly get into homes, how to find hidden entry points, and which materials can help seal them properly.
