Identifying Your Rodent Intrusion

Common Signs of a Rat or Mouse Infestation

Discovering a rodent problem often starts with noticing the subtle but unmistakable evidence they leave behind. The most common signs include finding small, dark droppings, which differ in size and shape between rats and mice, in areas like pantries, under sinks, or along baseboards. You may also hear scratching or scurrying sounds coming from within your walls or ceiling, especially at night when these nocturnal pests are most active. These sounds are a clear indicator that rodents are moving through your home’s infrastructure.

Further evidence includes finding nests made from shredded materials like paper, insulation, or fabric in secluded areas. Look for gnaw marks on food packaging, furniture, or electrical wires, as rodents must constantly chew to keep their teeth trimmed. Another tell-tale sign is the presence of greasy rub marks along walls and floorboards, which are created by the oils and dirt from their fur as they travel along the same paths repeatedly. A persistent, stale ammonia-like odor can also signal a significant infestation.

Protecting Your Health and Property

Rats and mice are more than just a nuisance; they pose significant health risks to you and your family. These rodents are known carriers of numerous diseases, including Hantavirus, Leptospirosis, and Salmonella, which can be transmitted to humans through contact with their feces, urine, saliva, or via bites. They can contaminate food preparation surfaces and stored food items, turning your kitchen into a potential source of illness and compromising the safety of your home.

Beyond the health concerns, rodents can cause extensive and costly damage to your property. Their powerful incisors can gnaw through a surprising variety of materials, including wood, plastic pipes, and even soft metals. This constant chewing can lead to structural damage, ruined insulation, and severe plumbing leaks. Most alarmingly, when they chew on electrical wiring, they can strip the protective coating, creating a serious fire hazard that puts your entire property and its occupants at risk.

A Detailed Approach from Inspection to Prevention

Our approach begins with a comprehensive and meticulous inspection of your residential or commercial property. A trained technician from Source Pest Control will thoroughly assess the interior and exterior to identify the species of rodent, locate nesting sites, and determine the primary entry points they are using to gain access. Understanding the full scope of the infestation allows us to create a targeted and effective strategy for complete removal.

Once we have a clear picture of the situation, we implement our customized treatment plan. This involves the strategic placement of traps and bait stations in key areas of rodent activity, adhering to the highest safety standards to protect children and pets. Our goal is to quickly and efficiently eliminate the existing rodent population inside your structure, resolving the immediate threat and stopping the cycle of breeding and damage.

The most crucial step for long-term protection is our professional exclusion work. After the existing rodents are removed, we focus on prevention by sealing up all potential entry points. Our team meticulously closes off cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, vents, and any other vulnerabilities that rats and mice could exploit. This proactive measure is essential for ensuring your property remains rodent-free in the future.
