Signs You Need Rodent Removal and Mice Extermination

When you have mouse problems, there are many signs that rats and mice leave behind that clue you into a bigger rodent infestation.

Rats and mice will leave behind droppings around food sources, so check under your kitchen sink and behind your refrigerator for droppings. Mice in the house will leave behind droppings that are about a ¼ of an inch long and pointed. Rats in the house will have larger droppings, about ¾ of an inch long. They will also be randomly placed and not in clusters because they produce droppings more frequently than mice.

Look for holes in plastic, cardboard, and wood items. Rats and mice can gnaw through these materials to get to food.

Check your walls, piping, and any other holes for oily smudge marks. The coats of mice and rats are dirty and leave behind an oily substance. Also check your basement and attic for mice and rat nests. Their nests will be made of soft, shredded material like insulation, paper, and cardboard.

If you hear scraping, gnawing, or squealing sounds in your walls, ceilings, or attic, this is a sign of mice problems. Occasionally you will see mice running through kitchens, basements, or attics as well. More likely, you will spot mice and rats running along fences and between covered areas in your backyard.
