Rodent control
Mice and rats do not leave on their own. We find the activity, find how they are getting in, control the rodents and help you close the gaps.
Signs of rodents
- Scratching or scurrying in the roof, walls or ceiling at night
- Droppings along walls, in cupboards, drawers or the roof void
- Gnawed packaging, timber, wiring or pipes
- Greasy rub marks along walls and entry points
- Nesting material in quiet, sheltered areas
- Disturbed pet food or bird seed
Why it matters
Rodents contaminate food and surfaces, can damage insulation and wiring, and breed quickly. In a business, they can also put your food safety compliance and reputation at risk. The sooner they are dealt with, the smaller the problem.
Our approach
- Inspect. We check the roof void, subfloor, walls, garden and building exterior to find activity and entry points.
- Control. We choose baiting, trapping or a combination to suit the site, the species and who and what is on the property. Where baits are used, they are placed in secured stations, away from children, pets and non-target animals.
- Proof. Gaps and entry points are identified and, where practical, closed so rodents do not simply return.
- Follow up. Rodent control usually needs a return visit to check activity and adjust. We will tell you what to expect.
Why proofing matters
Controlling the rodents already inside is only half the job. If they can still get in, more will follow. Ask us about entry points when you request a quote.
Homes and businesses
We handle rodent problems at homes and commercial sites, including restaurants, warehouses and offices.
Questions
Rodents and birds
Why do I still hear rodents after treatment?
Activity commonly continues for a short period after treatment starts, and entry points will keep drawing rodents back unless they are closed. Proofing is usually part of a lasting result.
What bird-proofing methods do you use?
The right method depends on the species, the structure and the access. Options include netting, spikes and wire systems. We inspect first and recommend the method that suits the site.
