A steady response, not panic
Rodents are adaptable and social. If one is present, others may be nearby. They can carry germs and cause structural damage over time, but reacting with fear rarely solves anything.
What helps instead is observation:
• Look for small droppings near baseboards or storage areas
• Notice gnaw marks on food packaging
• Pay attention to unusual scratching sounds at night
• Seal gaps or openings where animals might enter
If signs appear, contacting a licensed pest professional is the safest course. No fire. No chemicals sprayed blindly. Just measured action.
