WHAT TO LOOK FOR
It doesn’t take a private investigator to know if you have rats and mice. By paying attention to the following signs you’ll be able to know if you have a problem that needs controlling.
Signs of infestation

Greasy rub marks on walls and baseboards made by rodents as they run along their "routes"
