Common Rodent Problems in Gretna

Rodents are a persistent issue for properties in Gretna, Louisiana. Here are some common problems we frequently address:

Gnawing on Electrical Wires

Rodents have a habit of gnawing on electrical wires which can pose significant fire hazards in your home. If rodents are chewing through essential wiring, give us a call today! We'll do a full inspection to seal any entry points and help keep your property safe.

Contaminated Food Sources

Rodents can contaminate food sources with saliva, feces, and urine, leading to potential health risks. If you're noticing contamination or droppings around food, give us a call so that we can address the source of the contamination, eliminate the rats, and prevent it from happening again.

Nesting in Attics and Walls

Rodents often seek shelter in attics and walls, where they can create nests and cause structural damage. If you hear scratching sounds at night or suspect rodent activity in these areas, it’s best to call the professionals at Ant & Rodent Pest Control Hammond so we can address the nest and the rodents causing the noise.

Spreading Diseases

Rodents can carry and transmit diseases to humans through bites, scratches, or contact with their droppings. Protect yourself, your family, and your livelihood by ensuring that no rodent can spread these illnesses in your home.

Property Damage

Rodents can cause extensive property damage by gnawing on wood, insulation, and other materials. This can go hand in hand with any nesting in any home. The property damage can get very expensive causing electrical shorts and potentially even fires if left unattended.

Unpleasant Odors

Rodent infestations can lead to unpleasant odors, especially when they die within walls or other inaccessible areas, creating a health hazard for humans. The smell can linger and attract additional pests in your area if left alone.

Visible Droppings

Finding rodent droppings in your home is a clear sign of an infestation, and these droppings can carry harmful bacteria. Seeing droppings in any area of your home could signal a much larger problem below it. We advise you give us a call if you start finding droppings to prevent your rodent issue from getting out of hand.

Scratching Noises at Night

Hearing scratching noises in walls or ceilings during the night is a common indicator of rodent activity in peoples' homes. If you hear critters in the walls, there is likely a very substantial infestation with potentially multiple nests.

Signs You Need Rodent Control Service

Being vigilant about recognizing the signs of rodent infestation can help you take action to prevent a small problem from becoming a larger and more costly issue. Addressing these issues proactively can help prevent further damage.

Droppings in Kitchen or Pantry

Discovering rodent droppings in your kitchen or pantry is a clear sign of an infestation. These droppings can contaminate food preparation surfaces and stored food, posing serious health risks.

Gnaw Marks on Food Packaging

Finding gnaw marks on food packaging indicates that rodents are actively seeking food within your home. This not only ruins food but also confirms the presence of pests that need to be addressed.

Nesting Materials

Finding shredded paper, fabric, or other materials used for nesting are significant indicators of rodent activity. Rodents build nests in hidden areas like behind appliances or inside walls, so finding these nesting materials usually signifies a larger infestation.

Grease Marks Along Walls

Rodents often leave grease marks along walls and baseboards as they travel along familiar routes. These dark, smudged areas are clear signs of rodent traffic and can help identify where they’re most active.

Unexplained Pet Excitement

If your pets are unusually excited or focused on certain areas of your home, it could be a sign they are detecting rodents. Pets can often hear and smell rodents that humans cannot and will indicate if rodents are present.

Strange Noises

Hearing scratching sounds, especially at night, is a common sign of rodent activity. These might get confused with other common sounds in the home but are a definite sign that there is some sort of pest in the house.

Rodent Sightings During the Day

Seeing rodents during the day, especially rats, can indicate a large infestation. Rodents' natural behavior is to hide so that they are not caught by predators, and visible rodent sightings may signal that rodent is desperate for resources due to a lack of accessible food or water.

Urine Odor

An ammonia-like smell, especially in enclosed spaces, can indicate the presence of rodent urine. These odors not only smell bad but can also pose health hazards.

Holes in Walls or Floors

Finding unexplained holes in walls or floors are clear signs that rodents are creating entry and exit points. These holes can also provide access points for other pests and can compromise the structural integrity of your home.
