RODENTS

Is it rats or mice that you want to eradicate? This makes a difference because they have different feeding patterns.

If rats find something they like to eat then they're likely to eat enough in one feed to get a lethal dose. Mice on the other hand, tend to nibble bits here and there so they may not get a lethal dose from a single feed. We sometimes use more than one type of bait so they are more likely to get a lethal dose.

​

Our pest control technicians are able to help you prevent rodents getting into your place. They do this by inspecting to see where rodents may be gaining access and advising how to rat-proof the building.

If rat-proofing is not a viable option, we advise using a preventative maintenance programme where our technicians set up waterproof bait stations in strategic places around the section.

This means that when rats come out of the bush, long grass, or creeks around your place, they get poisoned outside before they get to set up house inside.

These bait stations need to be monitored regularly. Most often this is done once a month but some customers ask for this service twice a month during summer and spring.
