Signs You Have a Rodent Infestation

Because rodents like mice and rats are nocturnal, you may have an active infestation long before you ever see one. It is crucial to be able to identify the tell-tale signs they leave behind. Addressing these signs early is the key to preventing a small problem from growing and protecting your property from damage.

Be on the lookout for these common indicators of a rodent problem:

  • Droppings: Small, dark fecal droppings found in pantries, drawers, under sinks, or along baseboards are the most common sign.
  • Scratching Noises: Scurrying, squeaking, or scratching sounds coming from within walls, ceilings, or attics, especially at night.
  • Gnaw Marks: Evidence of chewing on wood, plastic, food packaging, or electrical wires, which can create a serious fire hazard.
  • Grease Marks: Dark smudges or "runways" along walls and baseboards caused by the oils in a rodent's fur as they follow the same path.
  • Nests: Finding shredded materials like paper, fabric, or insulation in hidden, sheltered areas of your home.
  • Foul Odors: A persistent stale or ammonia-like smell from hidden urine can indicate a significant or long-standing infestation.

If any of these signs are familiar, it is important to contact a professional for a thorough inspection. A trained technician can confirm the pest's identity and locate their nesting sites and primary points of entry.

Our Approach to Rodent Control

At Heritage Pest Control, we understand that your top priorities are your family's health and the safety of your pets. We are committed to providing a comprehensive rodent control solution that is both highly effective and environmentally responsible, which is why we utilize Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This approach goes beyond just setting traps; it focuses on long-term prevention.

Our state-licensed and insured technicians follow a proven, multi-step process:

  • A Thorough Inspection: We start by identifying the specific rodent, finding all entry points, and assessing the extent of the infestation.
  • Effective & Safe Removal: We use EPA-approved, minimally invasive methods to address the active rodent population, always prioritizing pet-safe options.
  • Professional Exclusion: This is the most critical step. We use durable materials to seal the gaps, cracks, and holes rodents use to get inside.
  • Site Sanitation: We will provide recommendations for cleaning areas contaminated by rodent waste to help mitigate health risks.

Our focus is on delivering a permanent solution. By combining removal with professional exclusion, we can confidently protect your home and give you the peace of mind you deserve.

DIY Methods vs. Professional Rodent Control

When facing a rodent problem, it is tempting to buy over-the-counter traps or poison baits. However, these DIY methods often fail to address the root cause of the infestation. You may catch one or two rodents, but you will not stop the colony from breeding.

Furthermore, DIY poison baits pose a significant risk. They can be accidentally ingested by pets or children, leading to a medical emergency. These poisons can also cause a rodent to die inside your walls, creating a terrible odor and attracting other pests.

A professional service is a safer and more effective investment. Trained technicians can identify and seal all potential entry points, some as small as a dime. They have access to pet-safe, EPA-approved products and strategies that eliminate the entire infestation at its source.
