How Do You Know If You Have a Pest Problem?

In many cases, pests are good at hiding their presence at first. The sooner that pests are discovered, the better, because if pests are allowed to go unnoticed for too long, it can turn from a pest problem to a pest infestation. Fortunately, there are signs that you can look for that can help you determine if you have a pest problem sooner rather than later:

  • Odors – Certain pests can cause your home or business to smell strange or musty. In many cases, these smells are difficult to get rid of no matter how much you clean.
  • Damage – Pests, like termites and rodents, can cause a lot of damage to your home or business. If you notice holes in your walls, chew marks on furniture and wires, or wood damage, pests may be the cause.
  • Droppings – Many pests leave distinctive droppings, which can be a sign of their presence in your home or business. If you find droppings in your kitchen or bathroom cabinets, garage, or crawlspaces, you may have a pest infestation.
  • Noises – Those strange noises may not be in your head. If you hear clicking, buzzing, scampering, or tapping, especially if it’s coming from behind your walls or your attic, you’re probably hearing pests in your home or business.
  • Pets – Your pets can often notice a pest infestation before you do. Pay attention to their behavior. If they are focused on areas of your home for no apparent reason, such as a section of wall or a crawlspace, it could be because they sense the presence of pests.

In addition to providing residential customers with pest control services, our commercial pest control experts assist businesses in Dover with their pest problems.
