Rats and mice don’t always want to be inside our homes and businesses. They usually live and nest outdoors, but try to remain nearby our buildings for food and occasional shelter. If you have rodents on your property, you’re likely trying to figure out where they’re nesting. These are the most common places you’ll find rodents:
Most kinds of rats and mice like to live and nest outdoors. Norway rats usually burrow along our patios, gardens, or anywhere else with shelter or vegetation nearby. Roof rats usually build their nests in trees or along rooflines. Deer mice have a wide range of habitats spanning from fields and forests to deserts and more.

If rats or mice do end up inside your home, there are a few areas to watch out for that they will probably target. Rodents will build their nests out of whatever is readily accessible, so many different areas of your property could end up vulnerable to an infestation.
If you start finding signs of rodents around your home or business, like scratching noises, droppings, urine stains, and more, call a professional rodent exterminator for an assessment. Because the areas around their nests can be dangerous for a few different reasons, it’s important to use caution when trying to locate the nests of the rodents living in or around your building.
