Common Rodent Problems in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky

How Do You Know If You Have a Rodent Infestation?

Be sure to look out for these telltale signs of rats and mice in your home:

  • Rodent droppings: Small, brown, and rice-shaped. Mouse droppings are tiny; rat droppings are much larger.
  • Gnaw marks: Rodent teeth never stop growing. They gnaw as a way to keep the size of their teeth manageable. If you notice food packaging with gnaw marks, there’s a good chance it’s rodents.
  • Nests: Usually in quiet, low-traffic parts of the house.
  • Scratching sounds: Usually late at night, in walls or the attic.
  • Rub marks: Rodents leave shiny grease streaks on walls and surfaces.

  • Seal all exterior foundation and soffit vents.
  • Repair cracks, crevices, and pipe intrusions with sealant.
  • Install dryer and stove vent covers, and a chimney cap.
  • Seal J-trim at potential rodent entry points.
  • Seal roof returns.
  • Inspect fascia and frieze boards for holes.
  • Ensure siding corners are properly sealed.
  • Seal all entry points from the interior of the home and garage.
  • Install mesh to gable and attic vents from the attic area.
  • Seal all entry points to and from the attic.
  • Install plumbing caps on accessible pipes.

What’s the Best Type of Rodent Treatment?

While trapping and removing rats and mice may offer a temporary solution, it doesn’t prevent future infestations. Rodent exclusion, however, provides a permanent end to the problem. We believe it is the most effective and economical form of rodent control for many homeowners due to its numerous benefits:

  • Effective Barrier: Seals gaps to prevent access for rodents and other wildlife.
  • Eco-Friendly: Offers an environmentally conscious solution.
  • Durable Performance: Provides long-lasting protection against internal pest problems.
  • Weather Resistant: Withstands extreme weather conditions.
  • Multi-Pest Protection: Safeguards your home from various pests.
