Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

They are more inclined to be identified by a grinding noise they make with their teeth called bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints – rats leave tail and foot marks that are sometimes tough to identify. If you can lightly dust on some flour to areas that you suspect they are nesting and crawling, for sure you will see their prints.

Grease and dirt in their bodies leave smudges and dark marks on both objects and surfaces they repeatedly brush against. These marks may indicate rodent activity, but as smears may remain for a long period of time, they are not a good gauge of an active infestation.
