8. Tracks in carpeting or outdoor areas

While some pests are light enough that they leave little to almost no evidence, others may leave behind foot tracks, a trail of droppings, grease marks, and even small pieces of food. If you notice a trail or tracks of grease or fragments, it’s essential not to clean the area up until you’ve followed the dirt to see where pests may be exiting and entering the area.

Once you find the place, you can clean the area, making sure you use a good cleaning product. This one is one of the best we’ve tried so far.

Keep in mind that, once you’ve recognized some of the signs of a pest infestation, it’s important to act quickly so those nasty invaders don’t cause any more damage.
