SIGNS OF RODENTS IN YOUR HOME DROPPINGS Look in cabinets, in pantries, under sinks, and in other areas for signs of droppings Droppings may also show up on counters, shelves, or furniture Rodents produce a lot of waste, so droppings are the first thing you should look for NOISES Rodents may be small, but they can make a lot of noise Listen for squeaks and rustling noises, especially at nighttime ! You may be able to hear them in the walls, or even in the ceiling above you Rodents are URINE notoriously bad at holding their bladders You may find small pools of urine along with droppings around your home "Urinating pillars" are common, and are made of dirt, grease, and urine TEETH MARKS You may notice signs of chewing on cardboard boxes, especially ones containing food Rodents also gnaw on wood and other objects to keep their tooth growth in check They may even chew on electrical wires, which can lead to problems such as fires HOLES Mice and other rodents can get through very small openings into your home Check around for entry points where these pests could get into your house Use steel wool and caulk to plug up these holes to help prevent future entry TRACKS Mice feet are about 3/8" or smaller, but can still leave tracks behind in dust Rats have bigger feet, ranging from ¾"-1", and also leave tail dragging marks Rodents leave greasy stains behind on walls along paths they travel frequently PROVIDED BY: PAYNEPEST MANAGEMENT Termite & Pest Control Professionals www.PAYNEPESTCONTROLOC.COM SOURCES: http://life.familyeducation.com/pest-infestation/ home-maintenance/47845.html http://www.nysipm.cornell.edu/publications/ evictmice/inspect.asp
