Think you might have unwanted guests? Spotting the signs of a rodent infestation early can save you a lot of headaches (and damage!) down the road. Here's what to look for:
Droppings
Let's face it, this is the most obvious sign. Rodent droppings are small, dark, and typically found in areas where they frequent, like kitchens, pantries, and storage spaces. The more you see, the bigger the problem.
Gnaw Marks
Rodents gotta chew! They'll gnaw on just about anything – wood, plastic, cardboard boxes, and even electrical wires. Keep an eye out for any unexplained damage, especially near food storage areas.
Nests
Rodents love to build cozy nests using materials like shredded paper, fabric, and insulation. Check in hidden areas like attics, basements, and behind appliances.
Strange Noises
Hearing scratching, scurrying, or squeaking sounds, especially at night? That could be rodents exploring your property.
Unpleasant Odor
A musty, ammonia-like smell can indicate a rodent infestation, especially in enclosed spaces.
What To Do If You Spot These Signs
If you're seeing any of these signs, it's time to take action. Don't wait until the problem gets out of control. Quick action is key to resolving the issue!
