Why Do I Have Rodents? Signs of an Infestation
Rodents are savvy opportunists, always looking for properties offering food, water, and cozy shelter. They’re drawn to garden areas, compost piles, outdoor pet food, open garbage containers, and outdoor dining spots.
While these critters aren’t picky about seasons, they tend to cozy up more in late fall, seeking warmth indoors as temperatures drop. As they move in, the risk of an infestation skyrockets.
Spotting a rodent invasion early is crucial for swift action. Here are some telltale signs to keep an eye out for:
Droppings: Keep watch for tiny rice-like droppings (mice) or larger, capsule-shaped ones (rats) along common rodent routes like baseboards or near food.
Gnaw Marks: Rodents chew to keep their teeth in check. Look for teeth marks on wood, plastic, or wiring, especially in hidden spots like behind appliances or in attics.
Tracks and Grease Marks: Rodents leave greasy smear marks as they scuttle along walls and may leave tracks in dusty or muddy areas.
Nesting Materials: Keep an eye out for shredded paper, fabric, or insulation, common materials rodents use to build their cozy nests, especially in secluded spots.
Scratching Sounds: As nocturnal creatures, rodents may create scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or floors at night.
Visible Rodents: In severe cases, you might spot live rodents during the day, a sign of a hefty nearby population.

How to Prevent Rodent Infestations
To keep rodents from staging a comeback, take charge with these proactive steps:
- Tidy up your yard by removing wood and leaf piles, which can provide hiding spots for rodents.
- Promptly dispose of garbage or debris around your property to eliminate potential hiding places for rodents.
- Ensure that outdoor trash cans have tightly fitting lids to prevent rodents from accessing them quickly.
- Keep gardens, compost piles, and wood piles away from the exterior of your home to discourage rodents from seeking shelter nearby.
- Seal cracks in your foundation and exterior walls to eliminate potential entry points for rodents.
- Fill in gaps around utility entrances on the exterior of your home to prevent rodents from gaining access.
- Repair or replace loose or missing roof shingles to close off potential entry points along your roofline.
- Install tight-fitting caps on all chimneys to prevent rodents from entering through these openings.
- Address any holes along your roofline and at roof intersections to prevent rodent access.
- Be sure to fix any leaky outdoor pipes, fixtures, or clogged gutters, as rodents are attracted to areas with readily available water sources.
With these savvy tactics in play, you can show those rodents who’s boss and keep your home
rodent-free for good!
