Rat and Mouse Control Pest Treatment
With a variety of pest species, identifying the exact problem can be challenging. However, if you spot rat droppings or a dead rat, you can be certain you’re dealing with a rodent issue.
Our Process
When addressing rodent pest control in the Brisbane area, our technicians begin with a thorough inspection to identify signs of rodent activity. This inspection helps us locate entry points and nesting areas, allowing us to effectively target our pest control methods. We then strategically place lockable baiting stations around these areas to ensure safety and effectiveness.
The lockable bait stations are designed to prevent children and pets from accessing the poisonous bait inside. Rodents will find and feed on the bait within these stations, consuming it multiple times before typically dying within 4-10 days, usually away from your home.
Why Rodents are Considered Pests
Rats and mice in and around homes and buildings are highly undesirable due to the physical damage they can cause, as well as food spoilage and contamination. Additionally, rodent infestations can spread diseases to humans. Common areas where rats and mice are found include roof voids, wall cavities, subfloors, underneath furniture, and gardens.
Detecting Rodents
Rodents leave behind several telltale signs, including:
- Rodent Droppings
- Burrows
- Gnaw Marks
- Nests
- Tracks and Trails
- Urine Stains
- Disappearance or Damage of Food
- Noises such as Bumping, Squeaking, Gnawing, and Scratching
- Odours
- Visual Sightings
- Excitement of Pets
