Signs of a Rodent Problems:

Rodents spread disease, damage structures and contaminate food and feed. Rodents damage one-fifth of the world's food crop each year.
The real damage is in contamination. One pair of rodents shed more than one million body hairs each year and a single rodent leaves 25,000 droppings in a year.
The Rodent is by far the largest mammalian order; nearly half of all mammal species are rodents.The approximately 4,000 rodent species are divided on the basis of their anatomy into three well-defined groups, or suborders, and more than 30 families.

Signs of a rodent problem is:
1. Fresh droppings are dark in color and soft in texture, but after three days they harden and lose the dark color.
2. Rodents always travel the same runways and leave "smudge marks" - a buildup of dirt and oil from their fur - along walls, pipes, gnawed openings and beams and rafters.
3. Rodents keep indoor runways, or well-used paths free of cobwebs, debris and dust. Outside, runways appear as narrow paths through vegetation. 4. Rodents make sounds when climbing, clawing and moving.
5. If dogs or cats unexplainable get excited, rats are probably moving about in wall voids or ceilings.
6. Damaged goods. Roof rats prefer fruits, vegetables, and cereal whereas, Norway rats prefer meat fish and cereal.

The key to any rat or rodent control program is pest identification, sanitation, elimination, and rat-proofing your home .

Why Rodent Control:
* World Health Organization estimates that about 33 million tons of food is destroyed world-wide each year.
* Rodents destroy property by their constant chewing.
* Rodents can put livestock at risk of death and disease.
* Rodents can carry diseases to humans such as rat bite fever, eptospirosis, salmonellosis, and plague to name a few.

To control rodents, you must "think like a rodent". The best way to control rodents is to prevent their entry. Rodents are able to squeeze through extremely small openings. Cracks in the foundation 1/4 inch and larger should be sealed, as should gaps and openings under doors and where utility pipes enter the structure.

Good sanitation and food storage practices are helpful in reducing problems. Since seeds are a preferred food, all adjacent to the building should likewise be eliminated. However, because rodents are able to occupy such small nesting areas and survive on minute amounts of food, sanitation alone will not normally eliminate an existing infestation.
