Unfortunately, however, many people don’t realize just how dangerous a rodent infestation can be. When you learn the truth about a rodent problem on your Ventura County property, you’ll recognize exactly how frustrating and dangerous these pests can be and why you should never try to deal with a rodent infestation on your own.

What Are the Signs of a Rodent Infestation?

Detecting a rodent infestation early can save you from significant damage and health risks. Here are some common signs:

  • Droppings: Look for small, dark droppings in areas like along walls, inside cabinets, or near food supplies. Mouse droppings are usually about the size of a grain of rice, whereas rat droppings are larger.
  • Gnaw Marks: Rodents frequently chew on items to manage their teeth. You might spot chew marks on food packaging, wooden furniture, or baseboards.
  • Nests: Rodents create nests from materials like paper, fabric, or insulation. These nests are often found in hidden places such as behind appliances or in attics.
  • Tracks and Smudges: Look for footprints or smudge marks in dusty areas. Greasy marks along walls and baseboards can be left by the fur of rodents.
  • Noises: Pay attention to sounds like scurrying, scratching, or squeaking, particularly during the night when rodents are more active.
  • Unpleasant Odors: A strong, musky smell could indicate an infestation, as it comes from rodent urine and droppings.
  • Damaged Items: Rodents may chew on wires, posing a fire risk, or damage furniture and other belongings.
  • Sightings: Occasionally, you might see rodents themselves, especially if the problem is severe. Mice are typically more visible than rats.
  • Pet Reactions: Pets may show signs of agitation or excitement if they sense the presence of rodents.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to address the issue promptly, either by sealing entry points and removing food sources or by contacting our pest control professional.

Health Dangers & Property Damage

Rodent

If you incur a rodent problem on your Ventura County property, there are a variety of risks involved. Unfortunately, some of our most common local rodents include the most dangerous and destructive; mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, and more.

If you have ever seen a mouse or rat up close, you’ll probably notice one of the features that makes them both frustrating and dangerous. All rodents share the two large incisor teeth as a common quality, and these two front teeth are always growing. This constant growth necessitates constant chewing, which is why rodents can do so much damage inside of a home, especially to your stored items.

These two front teeth, combined with their flexible bodies, allow rodents access to almost any kind of structure. With their front teeth, they’ll chew through a variety of materials, from drywall to cardboard, thin wooden walls, laundry, linens, and more. Plus, their flexible bodies allow them to squeeze through any existing cracks and crevices that they can widen even the slightest amount with their sharp teeth.

Once rodents make their way into your house, they’ll not only chew up a variety of your stored items; they’ll also spread health dangers throughout the home. Many rodents carry dangerous parasites like fleas and ticks that can cause harmful diseases like Lyme disease and even the bubonic plague. Also, many rodents put you and your family at risk of bacterial infections and the rabies virus.
