UV FLASHLIGHT to help detect presence of rodent urine for easier inspection.to help detect presence of rodent urine for easier inspection.

Using a flashlight to inspect dark, recessed areas that rodents(mice and rats) frequent would help you discover problem areas.

When inspecting, keep in mind that you are looking for signs of activity: gnawing, urine, droppings and tracks.

Most people underestimate the size of the infestation and under-bait or under-trap, without proper and adequate bait and trap placements.

  • Begin the inspection from the exterior to the interior.


  • Focus on areas that may provide water, food or harborage: vegetation, refuse or wood piles, bird feeders,
    waterways, garages, carports, attics, crawl spaces, cupboards, closets and food storage areas.



  • Entry points are important to consider when inspecting: windows, door thresholds, utility lines, rooftops and downspouts.


  • Rodents have oily hair leaving smudge marks where they consistently travel. Droppings, urine trails and gnawing marks all are signs of rodent activity.


  • Feces are critical in determining the type of rodent and measure of activity.

  • Under each individual category of the Norway Rat, Roof Rat and Mouse the feces are discussed in detail.
