Identifying Signs of Rodent Infestation
Signs you may have a rodent infestation can vary in subtlety, but it's crucial to be vigilant, as these pests can cause damage to your home and pose health risks. Here are some common indicators to watch for:
- Droppings: One of the most obvious signs is the presence of rodent droppings. These small, dark pellets can be found near food sources, in cupboards, drawers, or along walls.
- Gnaw Marks: Rodents have a strong urge to gnaw on objects to keep their teeth from growing too long. Look for chewed-up cardboard, wires, or wood, as well as gnaw marks on food containers.
- Scratching Noises: If you hear scratching, squeaking, or scampering sounds in your walls or ceiling, it's a strong indicator of rodents nesting in your home.
- Nests: Rodents create nests from shredded materials like paper, fabric, and insulation. Discovering these nests, typically hidden in secluded areas, is a sure sign of an infestation.
- Unusual Pet Behavior: Dogs and cats may display increased interest in specific areas or exhibit hunting behavior when rodents are present.
- Food Contamination: Rodents contaminate food by gnawing into packaging or leaving droppings behind. Check your pantry for any signs of tampering with food items.
- Unexplained Allergies or Illnesses: Rodents can spread diseases through droppings, urine, and saliva. If family members or pets experience unexplained illnesses, it may be related to a rodent infestation.
