Rats and mice are some of the most unsettling pests to find around your home or business. They slip into hidden spots, make themselves at home quickly, and can cause a surprising amount of damage before you even realise they’re there. On top of that, rodents can contaminate food, spread disease, and in some cases damage wiring and other materials around the property.That’s why it’s worth acting early. Rodent pest control is not something to leave sitting in the too-hard basket. Rats, mice and other rodents are good at staying out of sight, so often the first sign of a problem is the mess or damage they leave behind. If you’ve noticed the signs, we can help you get on top of it.Rats and mice are often considered the worst of all pests? They sneak in and around your place and can soon be eating you out of house and home. Worse still, they can bring in disease and have even been responsible for serious damage and have even started fires by gnawing through electrical wiring. Don’t take any chances with rodents. Get the experts in rodent pest control on the job. Rats, mice and other rodents are hard to find. Often you will only discover their presence by the damage they have done throughout your home.
Whether you’re dealing with rats or mice, rodents can create real problems for both your property and your peace of mind. They don’t just eat food sources while they’re feeding. They can also damage building materials, contaminate food supplies, and create issues in homes, schools, commercial buildings, restaurants and cafés.
Mice often settle inside buildings and can chew holes as small as 20mm wide. Rats usually need larger openings, around 80mm, and may use them as access points to hidden nesting areas. Those nests can be made from all sorts of materials, including cardboard, straw, paper and rags.
Because nests are often tucked away in hard-to-reach places, rat removal and mouse control can be more involved than people expect. The sooner you deal with the problem, the better chance you have of limiting further damage and disruption.

The best rodent pest control works as a team effort. There are a few practical things you can do to make your property less inviting to rats and mice and reduce the chances of them getting back in.
Start by closing up any obvious entry points around pipework, air conditioners, hot water systems and under doors. Roof access can also be a problem, so it helps to trim back overhanging branches and remove easy climbing points such as stacked timber or piles of bricks. As a guide, if you can fit a pencil through a gap, a mouse may be able to use it.
Keep an eye out for signs like gnaw marks, holes, smears, droppings and damaged food packaging. If you’re not sure what you’re looking at, we can point you in the right direction and help you work out the best next step.
