Signs You May Have Mice or Rats


Rodents often stay hidden, particularly during the day. In many cases, you'll notice evidence of rodent activity before actually seeing a mouse or rat.

Common warning signs include:

• Droppings in cabinets, drawers, basements or attics 

• Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings 

• Chewed food packaging 

• Gnaw marks on wood, boxes or other materials 

• Shredded paper, insulation or other nesting material 

• Unusual odors in enclosed areas 

• Pet food or pantry items being disturbed 

• Seeing mice or rats inside or around your property 

If you're noticing any of these signs, Cunningham Termite and Pest Control can evaluate the situation and recommend an appropriate rodent-control solution.

Professional Mouse Control on Cape Cod

Mice can enter homes and businesses through surprisingly small openings and establish nests in walls, attics, basements, garages and other protected areas.

Catching one mouse doesn't necessarily mean the problem is gone.

Our experienced pest-control technicians evaluate signs of rodent activity, determine where mice may be traveling or nesting and recommend professional treatment based on the conditions at your property.

Cunningham Termite and Pest Control uses professional rodent-control methods, including tamper-resistant bait stations when appropriate, to help control mouse activity effectively.

Where Do Mice Commonly Hide?

Mice may be found in:

• Attics 

• Basements and crawl spaces 

• Garages 

• Wall voids 

• Kitchens and pantries 

• Utility areas 

• Storage spaces 

Professional Rat Control on Cape Cod


Rats can create serious problems for residential and commercial properties. They can contaminate areas where they travel, get into food and storage areas, and damage materials by gnawing.

Professional rat control starts with understanding where the rodents are active and the extent of the problem, rather than simply placing a few traps.

Cunningham Termite and Pest Control provides professional rat-control solutions based on the specific conditions and rodent activity found at your property.

The Extent of the Problem

Seeing one mouse doesn't necessarily tell you how much activity may be occurring elsewhere in the property.

The Appropriate Treatment

Every home, business and infestation is different. Treatment should be based on the type and level of rodent activity found.

Conditions Contributing to Rodent Activity

Frequently Asked Questions About Mice & Rats

  • How do I know if I have mice in my house?

    Common signs of mice include droppings, scratching noises inside walls or ceilings, chewed food packaging, nesting materials and gnaw marks. You may have mouse activity even if you've never actually seen one.

  • Why do mice come inside Cape Cod homes?

    Mice look for reliable sources of food, water and shelter. Homes can become particularly attractive when outdoor conditions change and rodents find small openings that allow them inside.

  • Can mice live inside walls?

    Yes. Wall voids provide mice with protected areas where they can travel or nest. Scratching or movement inside walls, particularly when the house is quiet, can be a sign of rodent activity.

  • Is seeing one mouse a sign of an infestation?

    Not necessarily, but seeing one mouse can indicate that others are present. Because mice often remain hidden, a professional evaluation can help determine whether you're dealing with an isolated rodent or more widespread activity.

  • What's the difference between mice and rats?

    Mice are generally smaller than rats and typically leave smaller droppings and gnaw marks. Correctly identifying which type of rodent is present can help determine the appropriate control strategy.

  • Why aren't my mouse traps solving the problem?

    Traps may remove individual mice without addressing additional rodents, nesting areas or the conditions allowing them to remain in the property. Persistent activity is a good reason to have the problem professionally evaluated.

  • Do you provide rodent control in Falmouth, Mashpee and Barnstable?

    Yes. Cunningham Termite and Pest Control provides rodent control in Mashpee, Falmouth, Barnstable, Sandwich and communities throughout Cape Cod, including Bourne, Brewster, Buzzards Bay, Dennis, Harwich, Hyannis, South Plymouth, Wareham and Yarmouth.

  • When should I call a professional for mice or rats?

    Consider professional rodent control if you repeatedly see rodents or droppings, hear activity inside walls, notice signs in multiple areas of the property, or continue catching mice without the activity stopping.
