Since rats and mice like to nest far from humans and are the most active at night, it’s important to keep an eye out for signs of rodent activity. Both rats and mice are speedy reproducers, so an invasion will grow exponentially before you know it.
Some of the most common signs of a rodent invasion are:
- Gnaw marks on baseboards or wires
- Noises in your walls that increase at night
- Scattered nesting material in the house, like shredded paper and leaves
- Pellet droppings in cabinets, kitchens, and closets
- Strange behavior from cats and dogs, like growling and staring
- Smalled, chewed holes in the walls and flooring
- A musty odor in certain areas, especially around walls
- Holes and teeth marks in food packaging
If you see any of these signs, especially more than one, it is important to contact professional pest control as soon as possible. Rodent infestations are no joke and are even more difficult to eliminate as they continue to reproduce.
