Signs of rodents

Remove food access, document droppings/entry points, and use a professional where infestation is persistent.

SAFETY FIRST

What to do first

  • Check whether the issue is isolated or affects the whole home.
  • Take photos and note any recent changes, work or weather.
  • Stop DIY if the task involves regulated work, hidden services, height or a safety risk.
COMMON CAUSES

What could be behind it

  • Accessible entry points
  • Food/waste source
  • Nearby nesting or external activity

These are common possibilities, not a diagnosis of your specific home.

DIY BOUNDARY

When to stop doing it yourself

Stop if you are unsure of the cause, cannot isolate the system safely, need to open fixed electrical/gas equipment, work at height, disturb hidden building fabric, or the problem is getting worse.
