Where Do Rodents Typically Like To Hide in Commercial Buildings?

From our experience working in several Seattle commercial buildings, rodents typically like to hide in dark, secluded areas where they won't be disturbed. Common hiding spots include storage rooms, basements, and utility closets. They also nest behind walls, under floors, and in ceiling voids. Rodents are often found near food sources, so they may hide in kitchen areas, break rooms, or where food waste is stored. Additionally, cluttered areas with boxes and equipment provide excellent cover for them to move around unseen. Regular inspections and keeping these areas clean and organized can help prevent rodent infestations.
