Rodent Control Benicia

 Here is a list of common signs that indicate you may have a rodent problem in your home.

1. Unusual Noises

One of the first signs of a rodent problem is the sound of scratching, scurrying, or other unusual noises coming from within walls or other secluded areas such as attics or crawl spaces. If left unchecked, these populations can grow rapidly and become a much larger problem quickly. 

2. Droppings

Look for droppings near food sources, around baseboards and corners, and inside cupboards and cabinets where rodents may hide during the day. These droppings tend to look like small pellets and can be black or brown depending on the type of rodent present. 

3. Nests

Rodents will often create nests out of soft materials like insulation or fabric scraps which they will use to hide their young or store their food supplies between meals. These nests can be found in many places around your home including attics, crawl spaces, wall voids, garages, basements, and storage areas. 

4. Damage

Rodents are notorious for chewing through items like wires, insulation, and ductwork which can lead to expensive repairs if left unchecked for too long. Be sure to inspect these areas regularly for any signs of chew marks as this is one of the most common indicators that there may be rodents present within your home.
