According to Pest World, over the past year, nearly 40% of Americans have had the largely unpleasant experience of seeing a rodent running around their home. Even if you're not part of that percentage, you may still have rodents in your home and just not know it yet. That's why we've provided a list of signs you should look out for.

1. You See Rodent Droppings

This is a not-so-subtle sign that you have rodents. They can leave droppings all over your home. These can be found in places like your food pantry, under your sink, in cardboard boxes, and by baseboards, to name some. Be careful when cleaning them up, since some can carry diseases.

2. You See Gnaw Marks

Rodents love chewing on a lot of things, and the markings are one of the telltale signs that you have rodents. They can chew through a lot of things, including plastic and lead pipes. This can cause a lot of damage to your home. Be sure to take care of the problem as quickly as you can by calling pest control services.

3. You See Nesting Material

Rodents will typically build their nests in dark, secluded areas, and they'll use a lot of different materials to do so. This list includes cotton, fabric, paper, and cardboard. If you see a corner with a good number of these items, you know that you have rodents in your home. It's best to contact pest control services as soon as possible.

4. You See Rub Marks or Tracks

Rodents can leave a greasy trail on your wall or other parts of your home. They may also leave paw tracks in other places. If you see this, it's a very good idea to get on the phone with pest control services so that they can come to take care of the problem for you

5. You Hear Noises in the Walls

That scratching noise you hear is them running around inside your walls. If that's the case, then chances are good that a lot of them have taken up residence in your home. Contact pest control services so you don't have to be kept up by the noise.
