Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Because rodents are primarily active at night, you may not see one directly until the infestation is well-established. Recognizing the subtle signs of their activity is the key to taking action before the population grows and causes extensive damage to your property.
- Droppings: Finding rodent droppings is a primary indicator. Mouse droppings are small and pointed, while rat droppings are larger and blunt. They are often found in pantries, under sinks, and along walls.
- Gnaw Marks: Rodents constantly gnaw to wear down their teeth. Look for chew marks on food packaging, baseboards, plastic pipes, and electrical wiring.
- Tracks and Rub Marks: Rats often leave dark, greasy rub marks along walls and baseboards as they travel. You may also see footprints in dusty, less-trafficked areas.
- Strange Noises: Hearing scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds from within your walls, attic, or crawlspace, especially after dark.
- Nests: Finding nests built from shredded materials like paper, insulation, and fabric in dark, secluded locations.
Discovering any of these signs warrants immediate attention. A professional inspection can confirm the type of rodent and the severity of the issue, ensuring the right steps are taken.

Why Professional Rodent Control is Essential
Attempting to control a rodent infestation with DIY methods is often ineffective and can even be dangerous. Store-bought traps may catch a few rodents, but they rarely address the full scope of the breeding population hidden within your walls, allowing the problem to persist and worsen over time.
Furthermore, rodents are vectors for numerous diseases, and handling them or their waste without proper protection can expose your family to serious health risks. Professionals are trained in safe removal and sanitation procedures, using specialized equipment to eliminate these hazards from your home environment.
Ultimately, a professional service is the only way to ensure a complete and lasting solution. Experts provide a comprehensive approach that includes identification, elimination, and—most importantly—exclusion, to guarantee that once the rodents are gone, they cannot get back in.
