Signs of a Rodent Infestation in Southern California
Rodents are more than just unwelcome houseguests—they pose serious risks to your home, health, and peace of mind. Identifying the signs of a rodent infestation early can save you from costly damage and potential health hazards. At The Termite Guy, we’ve helped countless Southern California homeowners tackle rodent problems quickly and effectively. Here are the common signs to watch for:
- Droppings: Rodent droppings are small, dark, and pellet-shaped. You’ll often find them near food sources, inside cabinets, or along baseboards. Fresh droppings are soft and moist, while older ones become dry and brittle.
- Gnaw Marks: Rodents constantly chew to keep their teeth sharp. Look for gnaw marks on food packaging, wooden furniture, wires, or even your home’s structure. This behavior can lead to costly damage and even fire risks from chewed electrical wires.
- Noises in the Walls: Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking sounds coming from walls, attics, or crawl spaces are a strong indication of rodent activity, especially during the evening when rodents are most active.
- Tracks or Smudges: Rodents often leave greasy marks or tracks along walls or floors where they frequently travel. You may also notice trails of dirt or dust in less frequently used areas.
- Nesting Materials: Rodents use materials like shredded paper, fabric, or insulation to build nests. These are often hidden in dark, secluded areas like attics or basements.
- Unusual Pet Behavior: If your pets are fixated on specific spots in your home or behaving unusually, it could mean they’ve detected rodents.

What Kinds of Rodents Do SoCal Residents Need to Worry About?
Southern California is no stranger to rodent residents who can make themselves a little too at home in our spaces.
Los Angeles and Orange Counties are home to numerous rodent species, including:
- Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus): Also known as brown rats, they are robust and prefer to nest outdoors or in the lower levels of buildings.
- Roof rats (Rattus rattus): Sleek and agile, roof rats are climbers and are often found in attics, walls, or trees.
- House mice (Mus musculus): These small, quick rodents are found throughout homes, scurrying for food and nesting material.
- Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus): Preferring rural areas, these mice are identified by their white underbellies and tendency to carry hantavirus.
- California ground squirrels (Otospermophilus beecheyi): A common sight in parks and yards, they burrow and can cause extensive property damage.

What Makes Rodents Dangerous?
Rodents are more than just an annoyance; they present several health risks to humans and pets. These furry intruders can carry a host of diseases, such as hantavirus, salmonellosis, and leptospirosis, transmitting them through their droppings, urine, and saliva. Moreover, parasites like fleas and ticks often hitch a ride on rodents, further spreading disease within your living space. As if the health hazards weren't enough, rodents have a destructive streak, with a penchant for gnawing on everything from electrical wires to structural wood, increasing the risk of electrical fires and compromising the integrity of your home.
At The Termite Guy, our expert team deeply understands these risks and works diligently to ensure your home remains a safe haven, free of these dangerous pests. We strategically address and seal potential entry points, preventing rodent problems before they start. Our commitment to your well-being is unwavering; we employ environmentally responsible techniques and kid & pet-safe products to manage rodent infestations effectively.

How Do Rodents Get Into Your Home?
Whether they're looking for food, shelter, or just caught up in the thrill of exploration, rodents can sneak into your home through surprisingly small nooks and crannies. As experts in outwitting these clever critters, The Termite Guy has identified the most common entryways they use to invade your sanctuary.
Rodents utilize entryways like:
- Cracks and holes in walls or foundation: Even tiny gaps can be an open door for a mouse or rat. Sealing these up can block a major access route.
- Openings around pipes and utility lines: Rodents can squeeze through spaces around plumbing and electrical conduits that lead indoors.
