What Rodent Control Includes

Rodent control involves more than just setting traps; it’s a systematic approach to removing active infestations and structurally "locking down" your home.

Everyday fixes for rodent issues

These are the most common interventions needed when activity is first detected.

Before the list: Rapidly addressing these prevents rodents from nesting and multiplying in your walls.

  • Strategic Baiting & Trapping: Placement of professional-grade stations in high-activity "runs."

  • Activity Monitoring: Using non-toxic tracking to identify nesting sites.

  • Entry Point Identification: Pinpointing the exact holes, gaps, or pipes they are using.

  • Sanitisation: Professional clearing of droppings to remove pheromone trails.

Light maintenance and proofing

Stopping rodents is about making your home a fortress.

Before the list: Small structural "fixes" are the only way to stop repeat invasions.

  • Expanding Steel Wool Seals: Filling gaps around utility pipes that rodents can’t chew through.

  • Airbrick Mesh Installation: Durable stainless steel covers that block entry but allow airflow.

  • Door Brush Strips: Heavy-duty seals for the base of garage or kitchen doors.

  • Concrete Patching: Filling small foundational cracks that act as rodent "gateways."

  • Ammonia-like smells coming from enclosed spaces like cupboards.

  • Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, or electrical cabling.

  • Torn packaging in pantries or food storage areas.

Rats & Mice FAQS

(FAQs)

Rats & Mice FAQS

How do I know if I have rats or mice?

Rats are larger and leave spindle-shaped droppings (approx. 12mm), while mice leave much smaller, pointed droppings (approx. 4mm) and tend to be more inquisitive.

Is the bait safe for my children?

We use lockable, tamper-resistant bait stations that keep the rodenticide away from curious hands and paws. They are weighted to prevent being moved.

What happens if a rodent dies under my floorboards?

We use specialised baits that encourage rodents to seek water outside, but if one does expire indoors, we can provide deodorizers and carcass removal services.

Will you block the holes they are using?

Yes. "Proofing" is the most important part of our service. We identify the holes and can provide a quote to professionally seal them during our visit.
