There are several signs that may indicate a pest infestation in your home. First, you may notice droppings, which can vary in size and shape depending on the type of pest. For instance, rodent droppings are typically small and pellet-like, while larger pests may leave different types of waste. Additionally, you might see gnaw marks on wood, wires, or food packaging, indicating that pests are actively feeding.
Another common sign is the presence of nests or burrows, often found in secluded areas such as attics, basements, or behind walls. You may also detect a musty or unusual odor, particularly if the infestation involves rodents or insects that can produce pheromones.
Unexplained damage to furniture, insulation, or structural components can also be a sign of an infestation. Furthermore, if you experience unexplained bites on your skin or witness pests like ants, cockroaches, or termites, this should be taken seriously.
