Rodent Control
How can I tell I have a rodent problem?
Rodent activity is seldom observed during daylight hours, hence it is
important to recognize signs of infestation, such as;
- Droppings
- Urination stains
- Greasy smear marks - wear they rub against obstacles in
their path
- Gnawings - rodents gnaw on a wide variety of materials to
keep their teeth short, e.g. woodwork, soft metals, soap, food
containers etc.
- Short circuiting - rodents gnaw at electrical wiring
to shorten their teeth
- Sounds - bumping, gnawing, squeaking and fighting sounds
may be heard in the evening
- Nests - may be found hidden, usually made of rags, paper,
cardboard, straw etc.
- Excitement of pets - pets such as dogs may become very excited over
the intrusion of rodents, sometimes barking and clawing at the part
of the building where rodents are active
- Odour - the long-term presence of rodent infestation creates
a distinct odour
- Food missing - rodents often carry away food to their nests
- Burrows - some rodents burrow in soil areas such as garden beds,
vegetable patches or under concrete slabs.
