Signs You Could Have A Rat Problem
- Droppings
If you’re seeing little black or brown pellets that you’ve never seen before, that could be one of the signs that you’re dealing with a rodent problem. When cleaning these droppings ensure you wear proper protective equipment like gloves and masks. This excrement could carry disease.
- Urine Smell
If you’re smelling urine in areas that you shouldn’t, then it’s clear some kind of pest is in the area. As with rodent excrement, ensure you’re wearing proper PPE when cleaning.
- Gnawing
Rodents like to eat. And they eat just about ANYTHING. If you’re finding little gnawed holes in things, especially food, it could be a sign that there are rodents around.
- Scampering Noises
Rodents are lightning fast. When they get going, they make a little scampering or skittering noise. If you’re hearing scampering, don’t ignore it. You could very well have a rodent infestation.
- Pet Behavior
If your pets are acting strange, sniffing around areas they might normally not be interested in—this could be a sign of a rodent problem.
Rodent Removal Process
Rodent removal can be quite difficult, as rodents are clever and multiply very quickly. If there are areas outside of the home where rodents can live, they may retreat to those areas then return to the home later on.
Firstly, a pest control specialist will identify the problem. This may involve getting into crawl spaces, inspecting for signs of rodents, and coming up with an appropriate action plan. That action plan will likely include an exclusion strategy, which will ensure that the rodents can no longer enter the premises.
The removal strategy will combine baits, traps, and poisons to ensure the rodents are properly dispatched. Once the rodents are dead, a pest control specialist will return to clean everything up. This last bit is important, as properly cleaning rodent leavings is essential to keeping a safe home.
How to Deter Rodents
Deterring rodents can save you a lot of money and headaches in the future. Start by sealing all possible entries. You’ve got to think like a rodent. Wherever there’s a hole that’s a welcome sign for a little critter. Ammonia can often throw rodents off, as it smells a little like the urine of a predator.
