Your Guide to Spotting Early Signs of Rodent Infestation

Feb 18, 2024

In residential and commercial spaces, rodent infestations can pose significant risks. Not only do these creatures have the potential to cause immense property damage, but they can also contribute to health-threatening conditions. Recognizing the early signs of rodent infestation is a proactive approach to maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Here at Ratman Rodent Removal, our experts ensure these signs don't go unnoticed.


Identifying Initial Signs of Rodent Activity


1. Rodent Droppings


One of the first and most common signs of rodent activity is the presence of droppings. These could be found in secluded areas, such as behind appliances, inside drawers or cabinets, and close to food sources.


2. Unusual Noises


The scurrying and scratching noises in your walls, attics, or under the floorboards, particularly during the quiet night hours, may indicate rodent activity.


3. Gnawed Items and Holes


Rodents have strong front teeth that continuously grow, motivating them to gnaw incessantly. Look for gnaw signs on food packaging or structural materials. Also, small, unexplained holes in which they nest or roam are another clear indication of infestation.


4. Nests


Rodents commonly construct their nests using shredded paper and other fibrous material found conveniently nearby. Discovering these nests within your property can be a clear sign of rodent activity.


5. Unpleasant Odors


Rats and mice are known for their distinctive, musky odors. If you notice inexplicable foul smells in certain areas of your property, this could indicate a possible infestation.


6. Sightings


Spotting a live or dead rodent is a definite signal of active infestation nearby. If you see one rodent, there are likely more hidden out of sight.
