Rats and mice are good at staying out of sight. Spotting the early signs gives you more options and makes prevention easier.

Common Warning Signs

Look for droppings near the pantry, gnaw marks on packaging or wiring, nesting material in quiet corners and scratching in the ceiling at night.

Where to Check

Kitchens, roof voids, garages and spots around pipes or vents are good places to start.

When to Get Help

If the signs keep turning up, a professional assessment can find entry points and suitable next steps.
