Diagnosing Droppings

There is no one proper way to identify a pest problem around your home or business. You might catch sight of a spider or hear the movements of mice but you can always count on finding droppings. Whether you are dealing with pests as small as an ant or as large as a pigeon, they all have bad bathroom habits. Some leavings are innocuous but others are very dangerous. Calling in a professional pest control service at the first sign of these materials can mean a world of difference to your results.

What To Look For

Catching sight of tiny piles of sawdust might not just be an odd occurrence. Sneaky insects, such as termites or carpenter ants do not leave clues in the same way that other pests do. Whether tunnelling or tasting, both of these intruders leave sawdust or frass behind. While they are signs of a larger problem, these droppings are more of an unpleasantness than a health risk.

Property Damage: Recognizable rodents such as pigeons can be difficult to control. Managing their numbers is difficult but battling bathroom habits is worse. Pigeon droppings are highly acidic, so much so that they can be corrosive. Having these unsanitary materials sitting on surfaces can damage protective barriers and coatings - and can even strip paint! While basic infestations might be easy to handle, birds are pest left to the pros.

Health Risks: Rat, mouse and even roach droppings are commonly found scattered around Canadian properties. Each of these pests leave rounded pellets behind them. They might be a common sight but these droppings are major red flags! Each of these intruders bring on major health risks, for digestive illness to respiratory issues and even sepsis.

Insect or animals droppings in your home demand more than a cringing clean up. Keep your property clean and your guests healthy by calling in the pest control professionals.
