Do I Have a Rodent Infestation in My Columbia Home?

In addition to causing property damage and being generally unsettling, rodents like mice and rats can also spread diseases that make people very sick. That’s why it is essential that you call Modern Exterminating for rodent control in Columbia, SC, sooner rather than later if you have seen these nasty critters scurrying around your property.

Our team is highly trained in order to perform extermination without putting your family at risk. In addition to baiting and trapping, our exclusion methods are designed to ensure rodent infestations do not reoccur in the future. With our years of experience, we have what it takes to detect rodent infestations quickly, allowing us to present comprehensive solutions designed to return your property to normal sooner rather than later.

Identify Rodent Presence: Signs of Infestation

  • Droppings: If you are dealing with a rodent infestation, you are extremely likely to find little black droppings around your home. Mice droppings are small and smooth, whereas rat droppings are large and shiny.
  • Urine Smell: In addition to leaving toxic feces in their wake, rodents are also prone to create trails of urine everywhere they go. You may notice a foul smell if mice or rats are urinating in your home, especially in dank, dark corners of your attic or basement.
  • Bite Marks: Rats and mice have long teeth that never stop growing. As a result, they constantly have to gnaw on wood to shave their teeth down. You may notice these bite marks on wooden furniture or fixtures in your home if you are dealing with a rodent infestation. You may also want to look out for electrical problems, as wiring is another common bite target for rodents.
  • Scurrying Sounds: Rodents are typically most active at night. Listen for scurrying sounds in your attic or walls when you go to bed, as this may be a sign that there are rats or mice running around your Columbia house.
  • Tracks/Rub Marks: It is common to see little tracks left behind by mice and rats when an infestation occurs. Rats also commonly leave behind “rub marks,” which are an accumulation of grease on their body that gets left behind as they squeeze through different spaces.

Understanding Rodent Attraction: Prevent Infestation in Your Home

When you start seeing signs of a rodent infestation, it can be unsettling. But, how did these pests get into your home to begin with? Typically the culprit is left over food, trash, and other items that rats and mice can smell.

Commonly Asked Questions

What are the common health risks associated with rodent infestations?

Rodents can carry various diseases that pose health risks to humans, such as hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella. Their droppings, urine, and saliva can contaminate food and surfaces, leading to potential illness.

What should I do if I see a rodent in my home?

If you see a rodent, avoid trying to catch it yourself. Instead, secure food sources and contact a professional pest control service to assess the situation and provide effective removal and prevention strategies.

Are there any DIY solutions for rodent control?

While there are some DIY methods like traps and natural repellents, they may not be as effective as professional services. It's important to address the root cause of the infestation for long-term solutions.

How can I distinguish between different types of rodents?

Different types of rodents can be identified by their size, droppings, and behavior. For example, mice are smaller with smooth droppings, while rats are larger with shiny droppings. Additionally, their nesting habits and sounds can vary.

Key Factors Contributing to Rodent Infestations

  • Cluttered spaces – These can provide a space for rodents as a shelter during the colder months. Common spots where mice and rats may take cover include basements, attics, and garages.
  • Leaks – Leaking pipes or left out water can also lead to rats or mice. Rodents are in need of water and will often look for an available source.
  • Holes – If there are cracks or holes in your walls, rodents will be able to easily access your home.
  • Waste – While you may pick up any trash or leftover food in your home, it’s also important to clean up any pet waste in your lawn, as this is another item that can attract rodents.

Rodent Prevention and Extermination 

How Do You Prevent Rodents?

To prevent a rodent infestation from occurring, make sure you always clean up after yourself. It is key to properly seal and store food, as rodents will flock to anywhere they can find a leftover food source. These pests are also attracted to dirt and filth in general, so regular sanitation is key. Keep in mind that mice can compress their body into a hole the size of a dime, while some rats can fit through openings no larger than a quarter, so patching up holes and cracks throughout your property is a good idea as well.

In addition to contacting our team for service, here are some preventive measures you can take:

  • Seal entry points: Because rodents can squeeze through small openings, so it's crucial to seal any cracks or gaps in your home's foundation, walls, and windows. Our technicians can conduct a thorough inspection to identify potential entry points and provide professional sealing services.
  • Eliminate food sources: Rodents are attracted to easily accessible food sources. Keep your kitchen and pantry clean and tidy, store food in airtight containers, don’t leave pet food out overnight, and promptly clean up any spills or crumbs.
  • Proper waste management: Dispose of trash in tightly sealed bins and ensure they are emptied regularly. Rodents are drawn to garbage and can easily find their way into improperly sealed bins.
  • Maintain a clutter-free environment: Clutter provides hiding places for rodents. Keep your home organized and remove any unnecessary items that may create nesting areas.
  • Regular inspections: Schedule regular inspections with our pest control technicians to detect any signs of rodent activity early on and address them promptly.
