Protecting Your Property From Rodent Damage

What You Need to Know About Rodent Activity

Understanding how they behave and where they access a property is the first step to stopping an infestation. With the right inspection and prevention strategy, you can protect your structure and avoid recurring issues.

Common indicators include droppings, gnaw marks on furniture or wires, nesting materials like shredded paper or fabric, greasy rub marks along walls, scratching sounds at night, and a strong, musky odor.

Yes. They can spread diseases through droppings, urine, and saliva, contaminate food supplies, and cause property damage by gnawing on wiring and insulation, which can even lead to fire hazards.

Seal all cracks and gaps in walls and foundations, store food in airtight containers, eliminate clutter, fix leaks, and keep garbage tightly covered. Regular inspections and professional monitoring help prevent future infestations.
