You should also check spots in your home with insulation or sites where you store discarded boxes, paper, or cloth pieces. These are prime materials where mice or rats nest. Lastly, check your kitchen cabinets below the kitchen sinks and pantries.

Rodents, such as mice and rats, are nocturnal. Sounds of scurrying or gnawing can be heard at night if your home has rodents in it.
