Practical next steps
What to record and check safely
Dropping size, movement marks, noise and access location can provide clues, but professional identification is more reliable.
- 01
Avoid handling droppings directly
- 02
Photograph an object beside evidence for scale
- 03
Note indoor and outdoor signs
- 04
Do not seal a suspected active route prematurely
When to request an inspection
Arrange professional assessment when signs continue, identification is uncertain, several rooms or units may be involved, or the building has unresolved access or maintenance concerns. Avoid unverified pesticide use.
