Rodent Control
Rodents don't have to be visible to create serious problems. If you're hearing movement behind walls or above the ceiling, rats or mice may already be nesting inside your home. These pests can contaminate food, spread harmful bacteria, destroy insulation, and chew through electrical wiring, while reproducing rapidly. Trapping the rodents you find rarely solves the overall problem, especially if their entry points are still accessible.
At Wildman Wildlife Removal and Exclusion, we provide complete solutions that combine professional removal with comprehensive rodent exclusion services. By locating and sealing the openings rodents use to enter, we protect your property against future infestations. Contact us today for a free estimate on rodent control in Durham.
Common Signs of Rodents Around Your Home
Rodents usually stay hidden, so the evidence they leave behind is important to look out for, even if you haven’t seen an actual rat or mouse. Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
Rodent Droppings: Small, dark droppings commonly found beneath sinks, inside cabinets, along baseboards, or near food storage.
Chewing Damage: Rats and mice constantly gnaw to control tooth growth, leaving behind damaged wood, cardboard, wiring, insulation, plastic, and food packaging.
Nesting Areas: Collections of shredded paper, fabric, insulation, or similar materials tucked away inside walls, attics, garages, or crawl spaces.
Nighttime Activity: Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking noises coming from walls, ceilings, or attic spaces after dark.
Grease Trails: Oily smears or dark marks left behind as rodents repeatedly travel the same pathways throughout your home.
