Mice or Rodents in Walls — Madrid, Madrid
Scratching or scurrying sounds inside walls and ceilings, especially at night, are the most common sign of a mouse or rat infestation. Rodents gnaw electrical wiring, contaminate insulation with droppings, and reproduce rapidly—one pair can produce dozens of offspring in a year. A pest-control technician inspects for entry points, sets traps or bait stations, and exclusion-seals gaps to stop the cycle.
