Pests
First of all, there is nothing good about having pests in your home, and if you should ever find yourself in this situation you will probably be keen to fix it as soon as possible. The most important thing is to make sure that you are not doing anything to encourage these pests, which is a simple case of keeping doors and windows closed wherever possible and not leaving food lying out. In general, keeping the home clean will ensure that no pests come - usually. If you do get pests in your home regardless, you should look into rodent control in your area as soon as possible and make sure that you have them dealt with professionally and humanely. That is the only way to do so, and in particular you need to make sure that you are avoiding cruelty wherever possible.

But if you let it continue, it can often lead to much more severe issues, and it is something which you will need to deal with as soon as you see it in order to keep your home in the best possible condition at all times. In general, you can clean it away and try to keep your house dry, and that will suffice. But if not, you might want to think about getting professionals in to remove it and treat your home. You might even need to do this a couple of times a year - but it is worth it if it means that you are going to be able to keep a much nicer and safer and more salubrious home.
