Rat & Mice

Common signs of rodent infestations include:

• Droppings, especially in kitchens or food storage areas
• Gnaw marks on food packaging, wires, or wooden structures
• Scratching noises in walls, ceilings, or under floors
• Greasy rub marks along walls or skirting boards
• Footprints or tail marks in dusty areas
• Unusual pet behavior, like barking at walls
• Sightings of live or dead rodents
• Nests made from shredded materials in hidden areas

Our rodent control methods include:

• Comprehensive property inspection to identify entry points and nesting areas
• Setting of traps and baits in strategic, safe locations
• Use of child and pet-friendly control methods
• Sealing of entry points to prevent re-infestation
• Removal of food sources and harborage areas
• Application of rodent-proofing measures
• Ongoing monitoring and maintenance plans
• Advice on removing attractants and preventing future problems

Rodents can pose several health risks:

• Transmission of diseases like leptospirosis and salmonellosis
• Contamination of food and surfaces with urine and droppings
• Aggravation of allergies and asthma through their dander and droppings
• Potential to introduce fleas, ticks, and mites into the home
• Risk of electrical fires due to gnawing on wires
• Psychological stress from living with an infestation
• Potential for physical injury from rodent bites
• Structural damage to buildings, which can create safety hazards

Rodent-proof your property by:

• Sealing all potential entry points, even small gaps (mice can squeeze through 6mm openings)
• Installing door sweeps and weather stripping on exterior doors
• Covering vents and chimneys with fine mesh screens
• Storing food in gnaw-proof containers
• Keeping your yard clean and free of debris
• Trimming vegetation away from your building
• Ensuring proper garbage disposal and storage
• Removing sources of standing water
