Footprints (running tracks) – rats leave tail and foot marks from dusty, less-used areas of buildings. Shining a strong flashlight at a very low angle should show tracks clearly. To establish when an infestation is active, sprinkle fine flour or talc along a little stretch of floor near the footprints and check for fresh tracks the next day.
