Signs of Rodent Infestation
Gnaw Marks
The tell-tale damage of rodents is their gnaw marks on food packagings and the house structure itself. You can identify if a gnaw mark is new or old. Lighter colors indicate recently gnawed, which gets darker as time passes. Food packaging that has been chewed on should immediately be disposed of. Damaged doors, cables and materials should also be given attention, too. Holes chewed on the structure may serve as their entry points. Rodent Droppings If the dropping is dark, shiny and moist it means it’s new, while dry, grey ones that are easy to crumble are old. Common places to find rodent droppings are under the sink, hidden areas, cupboards, and around food packages. When you spot an area with a great number of droppings, there’s a big chance the rodents may be feeding or nesting in that area. Stale Smell One sure sign of knowing if rodents are around is through the behavior of your pets. If you noticed your pets pawing on areas they don't have a previous interest on, grab your flashlights and start checking the area. A large and active infestation causes an ongoing stale smell in hidden areas. Burrows and Nests Rodents usually build nests in corners, hidden areas, roof area or in the burrows. They use fabrics, dried plants or shredded papers for their nests. If you notice fresh dropping, gnawing and odor, it’s a sure sign that the nest is still being currently lived in and your home or store is infested. Tracks Rodent’s fur can leave dark, greasy stains when they come in contact with walls. Their tracks can also be detected with a flashlight or blacklight with which you may see footprints, smudges, urine stains and droppings. Live Animals This is definitely a certain sign that you have a rodent infestation. Rodents are usually seen at night. If you happen to spot them in the day, that may be a sign that the population has gotten out of control and you have a advanced stage of infestation that already need a help from professional rodent exterminators. |

Symptoms include fever, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain. For serious cases, the patient may have some respiratory failure, needing mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy. Salmonellosis This can be spread to humans through ingestion of contaminated water or food with their infected feces, urine and nesting materials.
