Look for droppings and gnaw marks

Droppings, chew marks on packaging, cabling or timber, and small entry holes are common early signs of rodent activity.

Listen and smell

Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings at night, and a persistent musky odour, can indicate rodents nesting nearby.

Check hidden areas

Behind appliances, in roof spaces, subfloors and storage areas are common harbourage points worth checking.

Act early

Rodents breed quickly and can cause damage and health risks. Early professional treatment and proofing help prevent an infestation taking hold.
