Identifying A Rodent Infestation

If you suspect that you have rodents, look for the following signs.

  • Check your home for rodent droppings
  • Look around for small rodent nests that are made of twigs and grass
  • Check your food containers for scratch and chew marks
  • Be quiet and listen for rodents at night

Checking For Rodent Droppings

To check for rodents in your home, it is wise to begin searching for rodent droppings. Finding rodent droppings in your home means you have a problem that needs to be dealt with. Rodent droppings are black and roughly 3 to 6mm in length. They have a granular shape so they look like a piece of rice. They can be found anywhere in the home but they’re primarily found near nesting and breeding locations.

Reasons For Rodent Infestations

Rodents tend to enter residences because they’re commensal. As a result, they’re trying to enter your home so they can consume your food and drink your water. A residential structure gives rodents everything they need to survive and thrive. Pests can enter homes through small gaps. Even if the hole is just a quarter of an inch in diameter, they’ll be able to enter through the small hole. They’ll enter through places you think are unlikely.

How Dangerous Are Mice And Rats?

Unfortunately, there are numerous risks associated with mice and rats. These pests can make you seriously ill so it is pertinent to wipe them out as quickly as possible. They’re going to leave urine and feces around your home. They’ll also spread diseases by contaminating your food sources. They can spread Hantavirus, Lassa Fever, Leptospirosis, Plague, Rat-Bite Fever, and Hemorrhagic Fever. Rodents can damage your building, furniture, and supplies. Rodents can damage your items because they need to chew constantly to prevent their front teeth from growing too large.

Besides chewing on drywall and furniture, they’ll also chew on electrical cables. If this isn’t dealt with, it could create an electrical fire hazard.

Primary Dangers

  • Rodents contaminate food and surfaces with their urine and feces
