Most people do not want to share a
living space with rodents, or any wild animals. If you suspect uninvited
guests of nesting in your house, check these three places first:
1. Along the Walls
If you think rodents may be living in
your home, you have probably heard them, seen them, or seen their
activity. Check behind furniture and along baseboards for rub marks,
urine and droppings, and gnaw marks. This may help you find their
traveling path and their entrance into your home.
2. Inside the Walls
After you have determined that rodents
are living or nesting in your home, you must determine where the nest
is. This will be an undisturbed place, like in an attic or garage.
Often, mice or rats will find a way into the walls through an opening as
small as 1/2” high. Removing a nest is a job best left to a
professional, so do as much sleuthing as you can and let your pest
exterminator tackle any face-to-face confrontation.
3. Outside
The best way to keep rodents out of your
home is to seal off any entrances. Check the perimeter of your house
for any cracks or holes. Also note that mice like to nest in piles of
rocks, lumber and leaves, as well as debris and clutter.
An animal removal specialist can help get rodents out of your home and keep them out. Visit this website to learn more about rodent control in Lumberton.
