What is one way to confirm rodent activity in an area?

Using monitoring blocks is a reliable method to confirm rodent activity in an area. These blocks are often made of a material that rodents can gnaw on, and they typically contain a food attractant. When rodents are present, they will consume the bait, which provides clear evidence of their activity. This method allows pest control professionals to assess the level of rodent activity and determine the most effective treatment plan based on the findings.

Visual sightings alone can often lead to misinterpretations, as they do not confirm the extent or frequency of rodent presence. Relying solely on traps may not provide an accurate assessment of rodent populations before control measures are implemented, as traps capture only some of the rodents in the area. Applying baits immediately without prior monitoring may result in ineffective treatment if the rodent activity is not yet confirmed. Thus, monitoring blocks stand out as the most effective approach to properly assess rodent activity.
