The second step is inspection. One should confirm rodent activity by looking for feces or droppings inside the house and holes around the house's perimeter. The third process is controlling the rodents. Make the environment less conducive to rodent activity by removing waste that might attract them. This could mean cleaning dirty dishes on counters and in the sink, taking the trash out frequently, and looking for large spaces and voids around the plumbing areas.
