Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Ignoring the telltale signs of rodents can lead to costly repairs, compromised health, and a general sense of unease in your home. Early detection is crucial, so stay alert for these key indicators:
- Rodent Droppings: Look for dark pellets (mice droppings) or spindle-shaped rodent feces (rat droppings) near food sources, under sinks, and in your attic or crawl space.
- Gnaw Marks: Chewed wires, furniture, or food packaging are a clear indication of rodents using their powerful front teeth. Inspect walls, baseboards, and door frames for telltale bite marks.
- Scratching Sounds: Scurrying or scratching noises, particularly at night, signal unwelcome activity. Listen closely near walls, ceilings, and under floors.
- Pet Food Disappearing: Missing kibble or spilled birdseed? Rodents are opportunistic feeders, readily raiding pantries and outdoor feeders. Secure food sources and consider rodent-proof baffles for bird feeders.
- Strange Odors: A musky, stale smell can point to rodent activity, especially near nesting areas or accumulations of droppings and urine.
- Grease Marks: Rodents’ oily fur leaves greasy smudges along walls and surfaces they frequent. Look for these marks near entry points, baseboards, and pipes.
- Unexplained Tracks: Tiny footprints in dust or along walls reveal rodent presence. Look for paw prints near food sources, entry points, and potential nesting areas.
- Rodent Sightings: Seeing a small rodent scurrying across the floor is a definitive sign that a rodent problem is afoot. A dead rodent is also clear sign of a larger infestation.
Remember, early action is key to effective control. If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately for a free and thorough inspection.
