• ◆Droppings – Small pellets near food storage, cabinets, or along walls indicating rodent or insect activity.
• ◆Hollow-sounding wood – Tapping on wood that sounds hollow may indicate termite or carpenter ant damage — a serious concern for historic structures.
• ◆Gnaw marks – Chewed wood, wiring, or structural elements indicating rodent activity in wall voids or crawl spaces.
• ◆Mud tubes – Pencil-width tunnels along foundation walls indicating subterranean termite activity.
• ◆Live or dead pests – Seeing rodents or insects during daylight hours often indicates a larger population hiding in wall voids or crawl spaces.
• ◆Unusual odors – Musty smells from cockroach infestations or ammonia-like odors from rodent urine in historic wall cavities.

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

• ◆Seal Entry Points Carefully: Historic structures have many gaps and openings. Seal openings with materials compatible with your home's historic fabric — consult with a professional before modifying historic elements.
• ◆Manage Moisture: Older structures are particularly susceptible to moisture intrusion. Fix leaks promptly and ensure proper drainage to prevent the conditions that attract termites and carpenter ants.
• ◆Inspect Regularly: Have your property professionally inspected at least annually for termite and rodent activity — early detection prevents costly structural damage in historic buildings.
• ◆Store Firewood Away from the Home: Keep firewood at least 20 feet from your home to prevent it from becoming harborage for carpenter ants, termites, and rodents.
• ◆Manage Vegetation: Trees and shrubs touching your historic home provide pest access. Trim branches and maintain a cleared perimeter around your foundation.
• ◆Schedule Regular Treatments: Quarterly preventative treatments are the most cost-effective way to protect the long-term integrity of historic Genoa properties.
