Droppings - Rat droppings are dark to light brown that looks like thin or skinny pellets with rounded ends and generally about 3/8 inches in length and 1/8 inches in diameter. On the other hand, mouse droppings are way smaller that looks like a dark grain of rice. You may usually notice their droppings around food packages, drawers, cupboards, crawl spaces, or under your sink.

Gnawed Materials - Bothrats and mice seem to have a non-stop gnawing activity to keep their teeth short. Hence you’ll discover gnawed or broken electrical wires and cords which can cause not just power outage but also fire. Moreover, you may also see chewed portions on your food packaging or containers as they try to consume your food supplies.

Urine Odours - Rodents have a distinctly unpleasant musky urine odour. You can easily notice it if their infestation has gone too high.
