• ◆Droppings – Small pellets or spots from rodents or insects in cabinets, corners, feed storage areas, tack rooms, or near food sources.
• ◆Gnaw marks – Chewed wires, feed bags, tack, structural elements, or fencing—typically indicating rodent activity in both homes and outbuildings.
• ◆Unusual odors – Musty smells from cockroach infestations, ammonia-like odors from rodent urine, or sweet smells from certain ant species.
• ◆Nesting materials – Shredded paper, fabric, hay, insulation, or plant matter gathered in hidden areas like wall voids, attics, barns, or tack rooms.
• ◆Live or dead pests – Seeing insects or rodents during daylight hours often indicates a larger population hiding nearby.
• ◆Strange sounds – Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking in walls, ceilings, barns, or floors, especially noticeable at night.
• ◆Grease marks or tracks – Dark smudges along walls, baseboards, or around entry points left by rodents following established routes.
• ◆Structural damage – Holes in walls, damaged insulation, wood damage from termites in fencing, barns, and structures, or hollowed-out areas in wooden elements.
• ◆Excessive fly activity – Large numbers of flies around barns, corrals, manure areas, and feed storage beyond normal levels may indicate breeding populations that require professional intervention.

Early Detection Matters: If you notice any of these signs in your Norco property, contact EcoGuard immediately. Early intervention prevents small problems from becoming major infestations and saves you time, money, and stress.

• ◆Manage Feed Storage: Stored hay, grain, and animal feed are primary rodent attractants on Norco properties. Keep all feed in sealed metal or heavy-duty containers, elevate hay bales off the ground, and clean up spilled feed daily. Secure tack rooms and feed storage areas to minimize entry points for rodents.
• ◆Seal Entry Points: Inspect both your home and outbuildings for gaps around pipes, cables, doors, and foundation edges. Seal openings larger than a quarter-inch with appropriate materials. Pay special attention to barns, sheds, and garage doors where rodents commonly enter. Norco Hills homes should check where structures meet sloped terrain.
• ◆Manage Manure & Organic Material: Horse manure and organic waste attract flies, cockroaches, and rodents. Maintain regular manure removal schedules, compost away from living areas, and keep corrals and stall areas clean. Proper manure management is the single most effective way to reduce fly populations on equestrian properties.
• ◆Control Moisture: While Norco's climate is warm and dry, water troughs, irrigation systems, and the Santa Ana River corridor can create moisture conditions that attract pests. Fix leaky faucets, ensure proper drainage around foundations and corrals, and eliminate standing water where mosquitoes breed.
• ◆Maintain Vegetation: Trees and shrubs touching your home or outbuildings create pest highways. Keep branches trimmed at least two feet from structures and maintain clear zones around barns and corrals. Norco's native sage scrub and chaparral can harbor rodents and spiders when it grows close to structures.
• ◆Schedule Regular Inspections: Norco's rural character with large lots, animal-keeping facilities, and proximity to open space requires vigilant pest management. Professional inspections should cover both your home and outbuildings—barns, corrals, tack rooms, and storage areas are often the first places pests establish themselves before moving into the home.
