A single sighting can indicate a larger hidden population, especially if it occurs during daylight hours, since rodents are typically nocturnal. Repeated droppings, grease marks along walls, chewed wiring or insulation, and persistent noises at night are all strong indicators of an active infestation that warrants a professional inspection rather than a wait-and-see approach.
