What Are the Signs of a Rodent Infestation?
Rodents, including mice and rats, are adept at hiding, so identifying their presence early can prevent a minor issue from becoming a full-blown infestation. The following are signs of a likely rodent infestation:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-shaped droppings are a clear sign of rodent activity.
- Gnaw marks: Teeth marks on furniture, walls, or wires indicate chewing, which rodents often do to keep their teeth from growing too long.
- Nests: Rodents build nests using materials like shredded paper, fabric, or insulation, typically found in secluded areas like attics or basements.
- Strange noises: Scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds, especially at night, often come from walls, ceilings, or floors.
- Grease marks: Rodents tend to travel along the same paths, leaving greasy smudges along walls or floorboards from their fur.
- Footprints: In dusty areas, you might notice small rodent footprints or tail marks.
- Unusual smells: A musty odor or urine smell can signal the presence of rodents.
- Damaged food packaging: Holes or gnaw marks in food containers and bags can indicate that rodents have accessed your pantry.
Why Rodents Are Dangerous to You & Your Home
When left unaddressed, a rodent infestation can be dangerous. Mice and rats spread many diseases that can harm your family, not to mention the animals themselves may bite if they feel surprised or threatened.
Rodents are also notorious for behavior that can be dangerous to your home. Their constant need to chew can damage wood fixtures throughout your house, and even put it at risk of fire if rodents chew electrical wires. Their nesting behavior also presents a fire hazard due to the accumulation of highly flammable materials.
Beyond these practical reasons, most people aren’t comfortable sharing their homes with mice and rats. If you need rodent control services in Hermosa Beach, don’t hesitate to reach out to Kilter Termite and Pest Control to learn more.

Have Questions?
Our Team Has The Answers.

To ensure that the treatment is being done properly, the homeowner should observe the treatment process. Unless the homeowner is chemically sensitive, there should not be any adverse health problems associated with a treatment done correctly. Ask questions of the pest control technicians. Keep track of how long it takes them to do the job.
-
Termites move randomly through the soil searching for a source of food (wood). They do not have the ability to know exactly where your house is. So, if your next-door neighbor treats his home for termites, your house isn’t automatically the termites’ next lunch. No, your house does not need to be treated; but, if there are active termite infestations in your neighborhood, it is a good idea to have it inspected.
-
The best thing you can do is to be involved and observant in the inspection process. For example if you request an inspection and the inspector doesn’t inspect obvious areas such as your garage, attic, basement, etc., then you may need to consult an additional company. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
