Look for Live Pests in House: This is one that should not be a surprise to you but one that should be on the top of the list. You want to look for your favorite kitchen and the best layout but you should also use some time looking for any critters that might be walking around. The best place to check is around the edges of the house and right when you walk into a space. They likely will scurry off to hide when they hear noise from a person that is coming in a room or when a light is switched on. Be diligent when you walk into a space for activity that could be from pests that are infesting the space. The most common spaces to hide pests such as mice, cockroaches, ants and more are in the bathrooms, kitchens and in the garage.
Dead Rats & Pests: When you are in just about any space that has been left empty for some time you are sure to see some dead pests. The problem is that if you are seeing a lot of dead pests around the house that are from the space species they are likely a pest that has infested the space. You want to make sure you are looking at the amount and what type of pests you are seeing that are dead. When you walk around you want to check the corners, window ledges, near the entry doors and in the basement or garage for dead pests.
Rodent & Pest Droppings: You may not notice that there are live or even dead pests around the house that you are looking at. This does not mean that there aren’t pests in the house becoming an infestation. Another way to identify a problem is from the presence of pest droppings. You can look for mice droppings, cockroach droppings or even shed skin that is left behind from pests. When you see droppings that are being left out in the open and around the house you want to use caution and be sure that the home is treated before you move in.
