It’s horrible to find that your family home has become invaded by a swarm of rodents, and for your safety and comfort, any infestation needs to be removed quickly and without fuss. Here at PestBusters, we are able to provide a comprehensive guide to rodent control Birmingham, and recognising the presence of rodents, enabling you to remain calm in the knowledge that any unwelcome pests will soon be out of your home for good.
Often, there will be obvious tell-tale signs which give away the presence of rodents; for example, the sound of scuttling in a loft or basement. However, it’s not always so easy to track them down. Below, you’ll find some classic indicators of a rodent infestation, so that you can quickly identify their presence in future.
Rub Marks and Smears
Smears on your floors or walls could be a strong sign that rats or mice are living at your property. If you notice any small, dark rub marks, you may want to keep your eyes peeled.
Footprints and Tail Drags
Although this is a certain sign that you have rats or mice in your home, sometimes these footprints can be subtle. Try checking dustier areas, as footprints and tail drags can be more visible in these areas.
Gnaw Marks
Rodents love to gnaw on anything they can get their teeth around, so try looking around your house for any signs of this. Try checking the bottom of your doors, and skirting boards, as these are at an ideal height for rodents to chew on.
Droppings & Urine
As unpleasant as it may be, finding small droppings and urine almost definitely points towards the infestation of some kind of rodent.
Odour
Rats and mice carry a strong, musky odour, so if you notice a new and odd smell lingering around your property, rodents might be the cause.
These signs are never nice to discover, so don’t let them get away with it! Call in PestBusters for professional rodent control Birmingham and to help free your home from rodents, and get rid of the unpleasant consequences of rat and mice infestations for good.
