How can I tell if I have a rodent problem?

While rodents like rats and mice tend to be active at night, which makes it hard to catch a direct glimpse of one, they will leave plenty of evidence of their presence for you to detect. For example, if you have a rodent problem, you will find their droppings around your home. You may also find their nests—which they make out of any soft material they can get, such as insulation, cardboard, and more—in your walls, inside cabinets or in drawers, or in your attic or closets. In addition, you will probably hear them scampering around at night.

What methods do you use for rodent pest control?
