One of the worst realities of rodents – besides the fact that they are disease-ridden and notorious food-contaminators – is that they prefer to stay completely hidden from humans. Even though they are some of the largest common pests, rats and mice are expert hiders. They are both nocturnal and do almost all of their scavenging at night, so they can easily hide among the shadows to avoid being caught. 

These pests do not have specific criteria that they adhere to when searching for a secure place that will hide their nest and offspring. However, they do seem to have favorite locations that they seek out in any East St. Louis home or building. The most common places that we find rodents include:

• In wall voids
• Inside or under furniture, including couches, entertainment centers, etc.
• In cardboard boxes
• Inside cabinets
• Within idle clutter and stored items
• Behind kitchen appliances
• In crawl spaces
• In gardens
