How to Identify A Rodent Infestation?

Rodents are a blanket term used for creatures such as mice, mats, voles, squirrels, and chipmunks. Even beavers are considered to be a rodent. No matter the type of rodent problem you have, taking care of your rodent infestation as soon as possible is extremely important.

Typical signs of a rodent problem include seeing droppings on the floor or in cabinets or hearing scratching in your walls.

Why You Might Have Rodents

Most rodents only need a hole the size of a dime to squeeze through to enter your home. Here are some steps you can take to keep rodents out.

• Declutter. Rodents love hiding places. The more clutter, overgrown weeds, and tall grass you have around your home, the more rodents will feel at home.
• Remove food and water sources. Make sure trash cans have tightly sealed lids. Remove pet food and other food sources. And make sure there are no water leaks or places where water collects around your home.
• Inspect the outside of your home and seal up any gaps or cracks that you find. Keep in mind that water damaged areas make it easier for rodents to chew their way in.

Reasons to Treat Your Rodent Problem Immediately

First of all, do-it-yourself rodent control often fails, because it is impossible to know if you have gotten rid of all of the mice and rats that have made their way inside. These creatures multiply quickly and, especially if there are females with nests in the home, they will keep coming back time and again to plague you when you thought they were all gone. Second, even IF you manage to get all the rodents out of your house, if you do not completely seal up the outside of your home, more will simply make their way in. Although voles do not typically enter your home, their tunneling can cause major damage to your yard.

Rodents may also carry diseases such as rabies and salmonella. Their feces and eating habits may contaminate food and water if it were to come in contact with consumables. Rodents may also carry pests of their own such as fleas and ticks that can cause serious health concerns.
