You don’t always have to see a rodent to discover you have a rodent problem. These unwanted critters can make their presence known in many different ways, often in the form of property damage or other issues. Here are a few of the most common signs that you need a rodent removal service.
- Chewed wires. Lots of different types of pests, especially rodents, like to chew on wires because their teeth are always growing and they need something to gnaw on. They’ll gnaw on other surfaces as well, such as furniture, but wires are among the most hazardous items to get damaged in this way because of the fire hazard that it creates. If you find chewed wires in your home, it’s important to reach out to a rodent removal service immediately to help limit the amount of further damage that these rodents can cause.
- Noises in the walls. Your walls and ceilings are common places for rodents to build nests and spend a lot of their time. Pay attention to any strange noises in the walls, such as scratching or squeaking. Rodents are most active at night, which is when you’re most likely to hear them.
- Rodent droppings. Droppings are a health hazard, so be careful if you find any rodent droppings around your home. They are most commonly around food sources, including the corners of your pantry. Handling these droppings improperly can lead to sickness, so it’s important to reach out to a rodent removal service when you find droppings so they can be handled correctly.
