While insects and pests are diverse, and some play an essential role in our ecosystem, no one wants them in their home, apartment, business, etc. A common question is when it is time to call pest control professionals. Here are nine signs that you should call our team at A&M Pest Control. Protecting your family comes first, so we utilize eco-friendly pest removal methods.
Signs You Need to Call A&M Pest Control
1. Pest Droppings
One of the first and most obvious signs of a pest infestation is the presence of pest droppings. Look at the floor and surfaces throughout your property for any pest droppings. This is the most common indicator that you have an infestation. Be sure to check familiar places where pests will hide, including cabinets, attics, basements, crawl spaces, etc. Our team can examine the droppings during our inspection and identify what type of pest problem you’re dealing with and what action is appropriate.
2. Gnaw Marks
While you search for pest droppings, another important thing to look out for is gnaw marks or any unusual signs of torn fabrics, holes, etc. Stains on upholstery and clothing can also indicate a mouse or rat problem. You may notice scratch marks on walls and floors. Rodents can gnaw on electrical wires, cardboard boxes, and other belongings. Call our pest removal team today if you see damage that you believe results from a pest infestation.
3. Strange Smells
Are there strange odors popping up in your home or business? This could also indicate a pest problem. Pests can leave urine and droppings throughout your home. They also carry food away, leaving small crumbs behind, which can result in a rotten or stale food smell. Another reason for strange smells could be that pests die in a hidden area, leaving them to rot. Call our team right away if you notice strange smells for extended periods.
4. Strange Sounds
Lastly, strange sounds are a huge sign of a pest infestation. Do you ever hear crawling or squeaking in the walls while you lay in bed at night? These noises may indicate a more significant issue behind the walls. If you have termites, you may notice soft tapping sounds behind your walls, such as the termites munching on wood. Don’t let these pests cause unnecessary damage to your home. Instead, call our team at A&M Pest Control.
