Signs of a Rodent Infestation

When rodents enter your home, they tend to stay hidden. They are most active at night and are often found in dark, secluded areas, such as wall voids, attics, and crawlspaces. This invisibility makes the problem harder to detect and treat, but there are some indications you can look for.

Signs of a rodent infestation include:

• Droppings
• Strong, musty odors
• Nests in secluded areas
• Scratching sounds at night
• Chewed wires and insulation
• Noises in the walls and ceiling
• Grease marks on walls and baseboards
• Gnaw marks on wood and other surfaces

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call the professionals for help. Our team has the training and experience to identify and eliminate rodent infestations.

What Attracts Rodents to Your Home?

Knowing what attracts rodents to your home can help you prevent an infestation. Rodents simply want a place to eat, breed, and stay sheltered. Keep this fact in mind when looking for ways to help keep them away.

Common attractants for rodents include:

• Food
  Rodents are scavengers and are attracted to food. They will eat almost anything, but they prefer foods that are high in protein and fat. Rodents can chew through cardboard, plastic, and other packaging to get to your edibles.
• Water
  Rodents also need water to survive. They can find water in your home from leaky pipes, faucets, and appliances, as well as in pet bowls and other containers.
• Shelter
  Rodents are looking for a safe place to live and breed. They can find shelter in your home from the elements and predators. They are often found in attics, basements, garages, and crawlspaces.

Keeping your home clean and free of clutter can help reduce the risk of a rodent infestation. Store food in airtight containers, clean up spills and crumbs right away, and take out the trash regularly. You should also seal up any cracks and holes around your home, so rodents can’t get inside.
