RODENT TREATMENT
Most rodents will have a thick body, blunt snout, and short ears with dark hair. These rodents can typically be found eating on fresh grain and meat.
RODENT SERVICE
Rodents will dig under buildings, fences, and even under plants. Rodents are also strong swimmers, so you may see them in sewers and can enter your home through broken drains or toilets.

Is Your Home Infested with Rats? Key Signs to Watch For
Droppings
Small, dark pellets (1/2 to 3/4 inch long), usually found in drawers, cupboards, pantries, along baseboards, or under sinks.
Gnaw Marks
Rats chew constantly to wear down their teeth. Look for gnawed wood, wires, food packaging, or plastic
Grease Marks
Rats leave oily rub marks from their fur along walls, floors, or beams where they travel regularly.
Burrows or Holes
Look for small holes in walls, floors, behind appliances, or near foundations. Can also appear outdoors in dirt or near garbage areas.
Tracks or Footprints
Dusty or dirty areas might show footprints or tail drag marks. You can sprinkle flour or baby powder overnight to check for fresh tracks.
Noises at Night
Scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds, especially at night or in walls, ceilings, or under floorboards.
Strong Smell of Ammonia
Rat urine smells very strong and musky, especially in enclosed or infested areas.
Nests
Rats build nests out of shredded paper, fabric, or insulation. Often hidden in dark, undisturbed places like attics, wall cavities, basements, or behind stored items.
Pet Behavior
Cats or dogs becoming unusually alert, barking, or sniffing around walls or furniture may signal rat activity.
