Ways to protect commercial properties from rodent infestation
Commercial properties provide a better thriving ground for rodents. This is because of 2 factors. Firstly, these properties are not occupied by humans at night hours and hence, give an easy space for rodents to come out. Secondly, there are always stacked supplies that provide for any easy hiding space.
Identify these signs at the earliest and call a reliable pest control Norman OK service to get rid of these pests before they start giving you a terrible time:

• Thoroughly check your office space and areas where raw materials are stacked for shredded papers and cardboards.
• The rodents use these shredded materials to build their nests.
• Check for food scrapings found littered before the desks or other areas that are not used by your employees for eating and drinking.
• If you are frequently finding damage in the packaging, there is a high chance that an infestation has taken place.
• If there are some dusty areas in your space, you can see rodent tracks through the dust.
• Check for rodent droppings that are easy to spot.

Call for exterminator Norman OK services to remove all the droppings and dead pests from your commercial space. While finding any form of rodent is a scary sight, rats are scarier than house mice and even trickier to get rid of.
Examining the house to know which of these tiny creatures are creating the havoc so that you can act accordingly is important. The minute differences between infestation caused by rats and that by mice are:

• A very pungent smell of urine that resembles old rotten cheese is a sign of rats because mice's urine smells quite pale.
• Of course, visually the rats are much bigger.
• Rice grain-sized droppings are also indicative of rats.
• While house mice are only capable of leaving teeth marks on different packages, rats can often leave holes in the packages.
• Rats can also leave bite marks on harder surfaces like furniture, cables, and even drywall. Mice prefer softer materials.

Pest control is the best way to get rid of pests but more important is that you keep you proactively keep your house clutter-free, seal away any holes or entry points, and keep all the food material in sealed packages. This will protect your house from getting to the point of infestation in the first place.
