Recognizing the Signs of Pest Infestations in Walls

Recognizing the Signs of Pest Infestations in Walls

When pests find their way into your home, they often settle into places you can’t easily see, like the walls. These hidden spaces provide shelter for termites, ants, rodents, and cockroaches, leading to damage and health risks. Identifying the signs early can help you stop an infestation before it escalates.

Strange Noises and Odors


If you hear scratching, scurrying, or tapping sounds within your walls, especially at night, pests may have made themselves at home. Rodents are often the culprits behind these sounds. Additionally, foul or musty smells can indicate the presence of droppings, urine, or even decaying pests hidden in the walls.


Visible Damage to Walls


Small holes, gnaw marks, or smudges along baseboards are common signs of pest activity. Termites may leave behind tiny pinholes in drywall or wood, while cockroaches create greasy smears as they move along their usual paths. These signs indicate pests are actively damaging your home’s interior.


Preventing and Addressing Infestations


Sealing cracks and gaps in your home’s exterior and keeping your living spaces clean can reduce the likelihood of pests invading your walls. However, when pests are already inside, professional help is often necessary. Superior Spray provides expert pest control services to protect your home in both North Florida and Central Florida.
