Signs of a rodent infestation include droppings, gnaw marks, nests made of shredded materials, and scratching sounds in walls or ceilings. You may also notice rodent tracks or find chewed food packaging.

To prevent rodents, seal any holes or gaps in your home's exterior, keep food stored in airtight containers, regularly clean up crumbs and spills, and remove outdoor debris or nesting materials. Ensure that all vents and drains are properly covered.

If you spot a rodent, it's important to act quickly. Contact a professional pest control service to assess the situation and apply effective treatments. In the meantime, keep your home clean and avoid leaving food out.

Professional rodent control methods are designed to be safe for pets and children when used correctly. Follow any safety instructions provided by the pest control service and ensure treated areas are well-ventilated.
