Pest Control
Signs of mice or rats (droppings, noises, chew marks)
Likely cause, what to safely try first, and whether it gets worse if you wait.
Likely cause
Entry points around the foundation or utility lines, plus accessible food.
What to try first
- Store food in sealed containers right away.
- Avoid DIY poison if you have pets or kids — ask a pro about safer trap/exclusion options first.
⚠ This tends to get worse (and more expensive) the longer it's left unaddressed — worth acting on soon.
