Now that we are getting closer to cooler weather, you’re going to notice more rodent activity, as they will be looking for shelter. Let’s take a look at all the possible signs of rodents and what you can do to reduce the probability of them coming near your property.
You may have rodents if you notice the following signs:
- Finding rodent droppings
- Nesting materials such as: shredded paper, fabric or plant matter
- Chew marks
- Holes through walls, floors or screens that create entry points
- Stale smells from hidden areas
- Noises in attics or behind walls

To help prevent a rodent infestation we highly recommend getting a professional service, but a few things you can do yourself are:
- Removing food and water sources and items that provide shelter
