Brian is our guy! We were referred to Jones Bros from my mom, who loves their service. I’m so glad we switched. We were getting some outdoor roaches. Brian came in and the roaches left. He is so nice and great at keeping the pests away! I highly recommend Jones Bros!!!

Jones Bros Pest Control has been great to work with. Their customer service is excellent, and they have been very responsive to my concerns. Technician Oscar Lopez came out twice within the month to address some pest issues I was having, and he was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough each time. He took the time to listen, explain what was going on, and make sure my concerns were handled. I really appreciate the care and attention he provided. I highly recommend Jones Bros Pest Control and Oscar Lopez for dependable pest control service

We had a really great experience with Jones Brothers Pest Control. Tony was especially kind, attentive, and professional. He took the time to answer our questions, explain everything clearly, and made us feel confident that the issue was being handled properly. It’s hard to find someone who is both knowledgeable and genuinely kind to costumers. The service was efficient, and overall exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend Jones Brothers Pest Control, especially if you get to work with Tony!

My family has been Jones Bros customers for many years and I have had my own account with them since 2019. Jerry is our technician and he helps to make every experience fantastic. He takes time to check in with me every time he comes, catching up, and asking if there have been any issues. Luckily, we do not have anything out of the ordinary, but he always lets me know that if anything comes to give him a call and he will happily come back out to make sure it’s taken care of.

You think of your Exterminating services unless there's a problem. We've been using Jones Brothers for years and John is our service expert. I don't always get the opportunity to connect with John on his service days but when I do it's always a pleasant experience. He's knowledgeable, professional, and courteous.

What Is the Difference Between Rats and Mice?

What Is the Difference Between Rats and Mice?

Is your rodent problem keeping you up at night? Do you notice signs of rodents in your pantry or cabinets? Rodent problems are more common than many California homeowners realize. In fact, a recent panel of pest control experts stated that California is currently experiencing a rat infestation that threatens public health.

The key to rodent pest control in Sacramento is to properly identify which type of rodent is living in your home. Our pest control company can evaluate your home and help determine which type of rodent you have. Using a step-by-step process, our Sacramento rat exterminators will be able to identify where the rodents live and how they get into your home.

Once your rodent problem is properly identified, we can determine the best way to remove them. After all, the rodent removal techniques that work best on mice do not necessarily work well on rats. That is why it is important to understand the differences between rats and mice.

Differences Between Rats and Mice

There are many differences between rats and mice. To further complicate matters, there are also many different species of rats and mice. In fact, there are over 70 different species of mice and rats across North America.

The most common mouse in the United States is the house mouse. This mouse is typically found living in the structure of homes. The most common types of rats in the United States is the Norway rat (brown rat) and the roof rat.

Both rats and mice can cause significant damage to your property and jeopardize your health. Rodent damage can be extensive. They can gnaw on wires and other building materials. They can destroy food and furniture. In addition, rodents carry bacteria and other transmittable diseases. Getting rid of a rodent problem is critical to avoid serious health complications.
