Identifying the Presence of Rodents in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois
You will know when mice and rats are in your home. They might leave around a trail that indicates their presence. Here are the different signs to look out for:
- Dropping
- New droppings are shiny and resemble putty in appearance.
- Old feces are hard and crumbly
- Gnaw Marks
- Mice: holes are 1-2 mm in width and small and clear cut.
- Rats: holes are 4 mm in width and big with rough torn edges
- Urine Pillars
- Accumulations of urine form “urine pillars.”
- The chemicals in rodent urine have a very distinct odor; with large infestations, you can easily smell it.
- Rub Marks
- When dirt in the environment combines with oils in their skin, rub marks are left when rodents travel along walls.
- If marks smear, you know they are fresh.
- Rodent Burrows
- Norway rats nest in burrows.
- Burrows are normally 4-5 feet in the ground in areas where there is protective vegetation.
Treatment
Since rats are warm-blooded, they seek shelter starting from late September until summer returns. Houses, barns, and commercial buildings are perfect winter homes for these pests.
