Having pests around your home or business is a major health and safety issue that should be taken care of as soon as detected. Unfortunately, many people struggle to find the hidden traces that pests leave around your living space, which may lead to a greater infestation.
In order to make the treatment process easier, we’ve put together five signs that your home or business needs pest control service. The sooner you know, the sooner these uninvited guests will be out of your life!
1. Noise
One of the first signs your house or business may have pests is the distinctive noise many of them make. Look out for scratching, gnawing, scurrying sounds for rats and mice, and also chirping or scratching noises from large bugs. Usually, pests tend to be noisier at night when the home is quiet.
2. Pest droppings
Another well-known hint that helps you to detect pests are their droppings. While mice or rat droppings look more like grains of rice, cockroach droppings resemble grains of dirt or coffee grounds. Make sure your cleaning staff examine all furniture, walls, and floors for any evidence of pest droppings.
3. Nesting
Rodents are very resourceful and will make a nest out of anything they can find; this can be shredded paper, leaves, and other shredded materials. They usually nest in places with hard access such as underneath flooring or between walls. If that is the case, contacting a pest control service is essential!
4. Chew marks
If you see chew marks or holes on doors, walls, cabinets, baseboards, or other structures in your building or home, this can indicate a pest infestation. Damaged wood can also indicate a termite infestation and should be looked after as soon as detected.
5. Dead insects
Finding dead bugs in your home or business is a solid indication that there could be many more live ones hanging around! Check window sills and gaps, and if the insects are all the same type, there is a high chance they have infested your space.
