How To Identify A Rodent InfestationAppearance- Rats and mice are the most commonly problematic rodents in houses and businesses. Deer mice, house mice, Norway rats, and roof rats are all found in the United States.
Behavior - You may see a mouse or rat scurrying away when you open a garage door, shed, or cabinet. At times rodents will be brazen enough to run right across the floor in front of you. Seeing rodent droppings is often the first sign that a rodent has taken up residence in your home.
Why You Might Have Rodents
Rodents are looking to make their way inside, away from the elements. The time of year and temperature could play a role in why they are taking up residence in your home, either to keep warm or cool or to find a place to nest during mating season. Rodents will also seek out food sources in your house, garage, and shed.
Rodents also need to find places and objects to grind their constantly growing teeth down on, as they are always growing, and the wood in or around your home is the perfect material to do so.
