Discovering mice droppings can be a concerning experience. Rove has you covered with all the information about what to do if you find those unwelcome signs.
1. **Identify**
First, identify if the droppings are from mice or other pests. Mouse droppings look like black grains of rice. Rat droppings are larger, bat droppings may contain insect parts, and roach droppings resemble black pepper. If unsure, contact a pest control service.
2. **Location**
Where the droppings are found matters. Mouse droppings can be found in kitchens, storage areas, attics, and near appliances. Bat droppings are often found in specific locations like attics or chimneys. Identifying by location can help, but can overlap with other pests.
3. **Clean Up**
Once identified, proper clean-up is key. Droppings can spread disease if simply vacuumed or swept. Sanitize the area to avoid spreading bacteria. Be cautious when cleaning to ensure your safety.
4. **Removal**
Seal off entry points to prevent pests from re-entering. Address gaps in doors, windows, and cracks. Use specific treatments to remove pests, as incorrect methods may be ineffective. Professional pest control is recommended for best results.
