Rodents 101 - Telltale Signs

The primary signs of rodent activity include droppings, footprints and tail drags in dusty areas, and evidence of gnawing, especially on packaged foods.

Other telltale signs rodents are present include:

• Seeing a household pet pawing excitedly or sniffing at a cabinet.
• Hearing scampering sounds in the walls or attic.
• Noticing signs of burrowing along the outside of buildings.

Rats and mice are more prevalent in areas where sanitation is poor.
