Signs of a Rodent Problem
Seeing Rodents + Droppings
The fastest, easiest, and most surefire way to tell if you need rodent control is if you see their droppings or the rodent themselves. They are often sneaky and difficult to spot, but their droppings are not if you know where to look.
Damage
Another sign that there is a rodent/s running around your property is damage. Rats and mice chew through practically anything, including wood, plastic, and other materials. You can also keep an eye out for greasy rub marks on your walls and other surfaces.
Other Signs
Other, more minor signs that you need rodent control are smelling a strong ammonia smell from their urine and strange pet behavior. Over time, the ammonia smell will worsen, but you’ll notice your pets acting strangely right away. This could be scratching/barking at a wall or monitoring a specific area.
Top Rated Local® Rodent Control in Knoxville and Beyond
Are you noticing scratching or gnawing noises coming from your attic and walls at night? You may be in need of rodent control. Rodents are classified by their constantly growing incisors. They are known as “gnawing pests” because they chew and they will chew on anything that is softer than their teeth. This can be a big problem if they are chewing on the wood, wiring, and structure of your home. Rats and mice are the most common rodents to invade homes and businesses in Powell and Knoxville. These pesky critters are responsible for hundreds of house fires each year caused by chewing through wires. Rats and mice can squeeze through a hole as small as 1/4 an inch, so it’s also important to make sure the rodents cannot re-enter your property, which is why we offer rodent exclusions with our animal proofing services.
