How to Know if You Have a Rodent Infestation

Rodent infestations are one of the most frustrating infestations to have! Hearing scurrying across the ceiling, seeing rodent droppings, and even catching a glimpse of those pesky rats and mice can be quite a frightening experience.

Dealing with a rodent infestation can be fairly simple if done correctly. However, before jumping to conclusions, it’s important to know whether or not you have a rodent infestation on your hands.

Here are some key signs to look out for:

  • Excreted rodent droppings - ¼ or ⅛ inch with pointed end or ends
  • Gnawed holes in stored foods, piled papers, insulation, etc.
  • Food scraps or wrappings left behind
  • Nesting material such as shredded paper, fabric, or dried plant matter

If you’re still not sure if you have a rodent infestation in your home or business, it’s best to call an expert.

A professional termite and pest control company, like Central Coast Termite & Pest, can help determine whether or not rodents are infesting your home, and can help to eliminate them if they are!
