How to Spot a Rodent Problem Early
Rodents multiply quickly and can cause serious damage if left unchecked. It’s important to recognize the warning signs early. Here are some common indicators of a rodent infestation:
- Droppings. Fresh rodent droppings are a clear clue you’ve got visitors.
- Gnawing damage. Rodents constantly chew to keep their teeth in check, targeting everything from wires to drywall.
- Nests. Look for piles of shredded paper, fabric, or cardboard hidden in quiet, undisturbed areas like attics or closets.
- Scratching sounds. You might hear noises inside walls or ceilings, especially at night when rodents are most active.
- Sightings. Spotting even one rodent often means many more are lurking nearby, given how fast they reproduce.
