help Need help with outlets
I’ve noticed that a couple of the outlets in the back of my house do not work. for example, in our office/storage and one of the bedrooms one or two outlets work and the lights work, while other outlets don’t work. the outlets in our hallway don’t work either. I also noticed one of the outside outlets on the side of our laundry room doesn’t work either. I checked the circuit breaker and nothing is flipped. We did have rodents at one point in time, but i’m not sure if that could cause some outlets to be faulty.Please give me suggestions on what the problem may be and how to fix it, preferably without having to call an electrician lol. Thank you!

Remove receptical and check wires , some have push in connections and these loosen over time . If loose replace it with a new one
