🧩 Understanding Rodent Infestations

🐀 Common Signs of a Rodent Problem

• Droppings that look like black rice grains

• Gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring

• Noises in walls or attic, especially at night

• Grease trails or nests made from shredded materials

• Sudden pet agitation (dogs/cats sense movement first)

⚠️ Why You Should Act Fast

Rodents reproduce quickly — one pair can create over 200 offspring a year.They can:

• Spread diseases like hantavirus and salmonella

• Trigger allergies and asthma

• Chew electrical wires (a major fire hazard)

🧠 Expert Tips from Lamp’s Pest Solutions

1. Don’t rely on peppermint oil — it only masks scent trails.

2. Skip ultrasonic devices — they lose effectiveness quickly.

3. Always clean droppings safely with gloves and disinfectant.

4. Never seal a hole until you’ve confirmed rodents are gone.

5. Schedule a professional inspection at least once a year.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does one mouse mean an infestation?

Not necessarily — but it’s a serious warning sign. Where there’s one, there are often more nearby.

How do I know if I have rats or mice?

Rats are larger, leave greasy marks, and produce capsule-shaped droppings. Mice droppings are smaller and pointed at the ends.

What’s the safest way to get rid of mice?

Use traps and professional exclusion instead of poison — it’s safer for pets and children.

Can rodents damage my home’s wiring?

Yes. Rodents chew insulation and wires, which can lead to costly electrical repairs or even fires.
