Rats are medium sized, long tailed rodents. They are members of the “Rattus” genus. Many other members of the rodent family and genera are also commonly referred to as rats, since they share numerous characteristics with the true rats. A rat infestation is responsible for transmission of several diseases. Their feeding habits are highly destructive, and the nesting behaviours can easily compromise your building’s structure, thus you need to eliminate the infestation.
Mice can wreak havoc in your home. Once you identify, manifestation, you must take steps that will help you eliminate them as soon as possible. A mouse can spread diseases in your home by contamination you water and food. Hantavirus, Salmonella and Leptospirosis can be spread by mice. Mice can also cause a lot of losses in your home. They can chew your clothes as well as put you in danger by chewing electrical cables. Mice are known for their ability to reproduce very fast. A female mouse can reproduce up to eight young ones after 21 days of pregnancy. It takes only 35 days for new-born mice to reach sexual maturity. This explains why a mouse population can increase rapidly.
The most successful solution for how to get rid of rats is a baiting strategy. If set up correctly, this overcomes all the natural rodent behaviours that make other rat and mouse control methods less successful.
Our technician will complete a thorough inspection of your home, looking for potential access points, evidence of rodent activity and food sources that attract rats and mice.
Baits are secured in areas where there is evidence of activity. The baits are secured using wire and/or in lockable bait stations if accessible by children or pets. This also allows us to monitor the level of rodent activity if a return visit is required.
There is a 1 in 20 (5%) chance that a rodent may die in an inaccessible area of the home. You will usually notice this aa an unpleasant odour. If this happens, we have odour bags available that will absorb the smell while the rodent dries out.
Our technicians will also offer advice on eliminating food sources that attract rodents as well as what the likely access points are into your home and how to seal them. Usually, it’s a simple matter of trimming trees.
