When it comes to pests on your property, you should always err on the side of caution. While there is no surefire way to create a home or place of business that is completely impervious to bugs and rodents, there are some simple steps that you can take to greatly reduce your risk of a life-altering infestation that results in property damage and potential health issues. Here is a quick glimpse at just a few of the signs that it might be time to call an exterminator to deal with invasive pests.

Insect or Rodent Droppings

Pests tend to leave droppings wherever they go, and that is one of the clearest signs that rodents or insects have tried to make a home on your property. Every animal is slightly different, but most tend to leave droppings where they are nesting, eating, or getting water. Some of them also leave their droppings in smaller areas such as crawlspaces, vents, and under floorboards. Rodent droppings are particularly noticeable, but you should also look for smaller pellets and frass that are signs of smaller insects.

Unusual Property Damage

Even if you go to great lengths to keep pests off your property, there may come a point when you notice that certain foods and substances are becoming damaged. Various pests can eat a wide variety of materials, and that includes human foods, cardboard, drywall, wood, and plants within your home. If you have recently noticed any bite or gnaw marks on anything throughout your home, then it is time to call Colorado Pest Pros to quickly and safely remove those insects or rodents.

Unpleasant Odors in Your Home

Unusual odors aren’t necessarily a sign that you are having issues with pests, but those smells shouldn’t be taken lightly. Many different types of pests create unusual odors that are similar to mold, mildew, and wet wood. Those odors are just a few more of the signs that it is time to contact an expert who can help you come up with a plan for keeping your home pest-free.
