The Unusual Suspects 

Various animals may reside in the walls or dark spaces of commercial buildings. Here are some common ones found in Florida, along with specific signs to help identify which might be present in your business: 

Mice 

You may often recognize mice by their droppings and chewing habits. Their droppings are dark and rice-shaped with pointed ends, typically found along walls, in storage areas, or near food supplies. Look for signs of chewing on packaging, furniture, or electrical wiring. These pests are most active at night, disrupting daily business operations.   

Rats 

Rats leave larger droppings and chew marks compared to mice. Their presence is often accompanied by more noise, making it clear they are active in your walls. Rats are skilled climbers and may navigate through plumbing, so unusual sounds or damage in your pipes may indicate their presence. Be vigilant in break rooms and storage spaces, as food sources often draw rats in. 

Armadillos 

These outdoor pests dig tunnels in grass or soil areas to find food and create places to breed, causing severe greenery damage. Plus, just like raccoons and squirrels, they can carry diseases that can spread to your employees. If you suspect or know this pest is on your business property, contact us for armadillo removal services. 

Bats 

Bats communicate with high-pitched sounds, so if you hear chattering from your walls, it could indicate their presence. They typically emerge at twilight to feed, so check around your building’s exterior during this time for any bat-exiting openings. Bat droppings, known as guano, have a strong ammonia smell and are usually dry and powdery, often found near entry points. 

Opossums 

If you hear hissing or clicking noises in your walls, specifically at night, you may have an opossum in your building. These animals are attracted to pet food, so torn food bags might be a clue. Their droppings can be wet and odorous, creating unpleasant smells that may permeate your commercial space. 

Raccoons 

Raccoons can cause significant damage, leaving large chew marks in drywall or ceilings. They are most active at night and can make loud scratching and chewing sounds. If you notice food disturbed, it may be a sign of raccoon activity. Knock on the wall where you hear noises; if they persist, it’s likely a raccoon is taking up residence. 

Squirrels 

Squirrels are primarily active during the day and tend to occupy upper levels of buildings. They might live in your walls if you frequently see them on your roof. Listen for chattering or scampering sounds; if you knock on the wall, they may flee. Squirrels are known to chew through insulation and electrical wires, posing additional risks to your business.
