Signs You May Have Rodents In Your Home
Rodents are often active behind walls, in crawlspaces, and in attics โ so you may not see them right away.
Watch for these common signs:
Rodent Droppings
Small, dark droppings in crawlspaces, garages, or along walls signal active rodent activity.
Gnaw Marks
Rodents chew wood, plastic, and wiring to keep their teeth trimmed and gain access.
Chewed Pipes & Wiring
Damaged pipes and wiring are common signs and can lead to costly home issues.
Damaged Insulation
Shredded insulation is often used for nesting and indicates rodents are living inside.
Entry Holes & Gaps
Small openings around your home can allow rodents to enter unnoticed.
Grease Marks & Paths
Dark smudges and worn paths show where rodents regularly travel.
If youโre seeing any of these signs, the problem is already activeโand likely getting worse.
Where Rats & Mice Are Getting Into Your Home
Rodents don’t just apear โ they find small openings and hidden access points around your home. Identifying these areas is the key to stopping infestations at the source.
Foundation Gaps
Small cracks along your foundation allow rodents to enter your home unnoticed.
Crawlspace & Vents
Unsealed vents and crawlspace openings are one of the most common entry points for rats and mice.
Roofline & Eaves
Rodents can climb and enter through roof edges, soffits, and attic vents.
Utility Openings
Gaps around pipes, wiring, and HVAC lines often go unnoticed but provide easy access inside.
We inspect these areas and more to locate exactly how rodents are getting in โ and seal them to prevent future problems.

Matthew is conscientious and careful. He has worked closely with us to address all of our concerns. He has tailored his efforts to the unique demands of our house as he performed an exclusion. The rodent activity has disappeared inside the house and has been vastly reduced outside. We are very happy with his work.Posted on Sharon HeiberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matthew solved our mouse problem! He quickly identified their entrance point and blocked it. That was last year. We haven't had a problem since. Thank you, Matthew!Posted on Sandi PetersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had not done pest control for quite some time, (our bad) and one day I needed service right away. Matthew came ASAP and got us started on the right track. He did work above and beyond what I expected for a more than fair price and shows up for scheduled maintenance as promised. He does a great job and I recommend him highly.Posted on Rodger SchneeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt at Salty Dog is both personal and professional, and provides services that are high quality, and very reasonably priced. He is clearly a service provider first and last. I've had previous experiences(with pest services and other) with national companies, when I felt I was sent a representative that was sales first, service provider 2nd. Matt is also well networked with contractors in our community, and gave me a couple great referrals for other work I needed done. The bottom line is that I highly recommend Salty Dog and Matt for any rodent/pest related issues.Posted on Nicholas OrozcoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely helpful and quick service who took his time and treated the issues that I had on the spot. I absolutely felt like the work was quality and he did not rush until I was satisfied with what was done. Thank you very much for the help!Posted on britt buchanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weโve had an excellent experience with Salty Dog Pest Control. Mattโs attention to detail is outstanding, and what really sets him apart is his passion for treating the root of the problemโnot just applying a quick fix. He took the time to explain what was going on, what he was doing, and why, which gave us a lot of confidence in the process. His communication is clear, timely, and thoughtful from start to finish. Itโs obvious he truly cares about his work and his clients. Highly recommend Salty Dog Pest Control if youโre looking for someone knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely invested in doing the job right.
