Here are some early warning signs of an infestation:
Noise
The first thing that you will notice before the infestation is noise. You will notice the noise mostly at night when everything is quiet. Most of the pests like rodents and bats make a lot of noise. Since these pests like hiding on the antic or the garage, the noise will be coming out from these areas.
For rodents and bats, you will hear squeaking noises. In case of roaches’ infestation, it might be difficult to hear the noise, but you might hear some noise when crawling over the floor.
Smell
It is surprising to know that pests tend to leave smells behind. However, you have to be careful so that you can notice any smells left behind by the pests. Rodents like mice and rats are easy to spot through their smell. Most of the time, they tend to leave behind a musky smell. The musky smell will lead you to the source of the rodents, and it will be easy to get rid of them.
Droppings
You can notice the presence of household pests just by looking at the dropping. Roaches, bats, and rodents tend to leave droppings behind. The dropping leaves dark marks on the walls, and these are visible by taking a careful look at the walls.
You will also see the droppings on the floor and also the ceiling. Most of the time the droppings are very tiny, and only a careful inspection will show you the presence of these droppings.
Damage
In some cases, you might start noticing destruction of property in the case. If you notice that your cables or clothes have been chewed, then it means that there are some mice around. Rodents can be very destructive and you have to take action as soon as you notice any slight damage.
