When pests notice the outside temperatures start to plummet, they begin looking for a warm place to spend the winter. Unfortunately many times they choose our homes as a place of refuge.
If you notice the following signs in your home, it might be time to call the experts in home pest control.
Droppings
One of the first signs you might see that point to a pest problem are droppings. Rodents and cockroaches leave behind these nasty droppings, which are usually found in places like the cupboards, underneath or behind appliances, behind boxes, and in other discreet locations where pests can hide. Be wary that cleaning rodent droppings can be hazardous, so it’s best to leave the cleanup to your home pest control company.
Nesting Materials
Rodents and bigger pests will use just about anything to build their nests, including paper, fabric, insulation, and organic matter. Rodents usually seek shelter under or behind appliances, cabinets, drawers, gaps in walls, ceilings and other areas that are usually undisturbed. If you see a nest or nesting material, leave it alone, and call a rodent removal company to dispose of it instead.
Gnawed Items
Rodents tend to gnaw on items like wires and boxes to keep their teeth short. If you notice damaged areas on these items, the problem should be taken care of right away in order to prevent a fire. And be sure to throw any gnawed boxes away, especially if they were used for food storage.
Having professionals rid your home of unwanted pests and rodents is much safer and more effective compared to going the DIY route.
