老鼠常见问题回答
我如何知道我的房子里是否有老鼠？
这里有一些迹象表明，你的房子里可能有老鼠：
- 粪便： 小老鼠的粪便很小，呈颗粒状，而大老鼠的粪便则较大，呈长方形。在储存食物的地方或在筑巢地点附近寻找粪便。
- 巢穴： 老鼠可能会在阁楼、地下室和墙体空隙等隐蔽处用碎纸、绝缘材料和其他材料筑巢。
- 声音： 倾听来自阁楼或墙内的抓挠声或局部噪音，特别是在老鼠最活跃的夜晚。
- 气味： 小老鼠和大老鼠的尿液有一种独特的难闻气味，可能很强烈，特别是在它们筑巢的地方。
为什么我经常在晚上听到老鼠的活动？
老鼠主要是夜行动物，这意味着它们在夜间最活跃。这种行为是由于它们避免捕食者和在安全的黑暗中觅食的自然本能。小老鼠和大老鼠具有出色的嗅觉、听觉和触觉，它们利用这些感觉在黑暗中导航和寻找食物。然而，它们也可以在白天活动，特别是如果它们在自己的环境中感到安全和有保障的话。如果你怀疑家里有老鼠出没，重要的是在白天和晚上都要寻找活动的迹象，以便更好地了解情况。

Raccoons, squirrels, and skunks are common animals that can cause damage and create nuisances when they move into your attic or walls. They can chew on wires, damage insulation, leave droppings and debris, and even carry diseases and parasites.
One-way doors are a humane and effective way to remove these animals from your home and prevent them from returning. The doors are installed over the entry points the animals are using to access your attic or walls. Once the animals leave to forage for food, they are unable to re-enter the space through the one-way door.
At Gates Wildlife Control, we have the knowledge and equipment to effectively install one-way doors for raccoons, squirrels, and skunks. Our team will also assess your home and identify any potential entry points that need to be sealed off to prevent future intrusions.
In addition to installing one-way doors, we also offer repair services for damage caused by the animals and provide screening of potential entry points. This includes fixing holes in the roof or walls to prevent water from coming into the roof and walls and installing screens over roof vents, soffits and chimneys.
Don’t let raccoons, squirrels, or skunks take over your attic or walls. Contact Gates Wildlife Control today for a free consultation and quote, and keep these pests out of your home for good with our one-way door installation services.
