Indoor corners, closets and less-disturbed storage areas can offer shelter. A plan can consider nearby insects and hiding places.
Mice
Signs near pantry shelves, wall edges or stored materials can call for an assessment and attention to household entry paths.

These pests may be noticed near utility areas, doors or damp spaces. Dry conditions and entry points can be useful parts of a plan.
