Rodent Control
When conducting a Rodent Control job, our Pest Control technicians first carry out a site inspection to look for evidence of present Rodent activity. The inspection will help technicians discover entry points and harbourage areas. Following this, we place lockable baiting stations around these areas. We use lockable stations to avoid children and animals accessing the poisonous bait inside. The Rodents will then stumble upon and feed on the baits inside. Once found, the Rodents will feed on the bait multiple times and usually die with in 4-10 days, generally away from the house.
Why Rodents are Considered Pests
Rats and Mice (also known as Rodents) in and around homes and buildings is regarded as highly undesirable as they can cause physical damage, food spoilage and contamination. Additionally, they can pass diseases on to humans. Rats and Mice are generally found in roof voids, wall cavities, subfloors, underneath furniture, and in gardens.
