Rodents are crafty intruders, and once they find a way into your home, they don’t leave quietly. In Stockbridge, the most common invaders are mice and rats—both capable of causing serious damage in a short time. Even worse, they’re nocturnal, meaning they do most of their work while you’re asleep.
Here are the top 5 signs you may have an uninvited guest:
1. **Noises at Night** – Scratching or scurrying in the walls or ceilings, especially around dusk and dawn.
2. **Droppings** – Small, pellet-like droppings in drawers, cabinets, under sinks, or near food sources.
3. **Gnaw Marks** – Chewed wires, furniture, cardboard, or even water lines.
4. **Grease Trails** – Dark smudges on walls or baseboards from their oily fur rubbing as they follow familiar paths.
5. **Musky Odors** – A strong, stale smell in closed-off spaces like attics, pantries, or basements.
Beyond the mess, rodents carry dangerous bacteria like salmonella, and they can even chew electrical wiring—posing a serious fire hazard.
