Understanding Rodents: Smart, Social, but Poor Eyesight
Did you know that rodents have an exceptionally strong sense of smell, excellent communication skills, but poor eyesight?
When tackling rodent infestations, we start by carefully listening to our clients, gathering key details such as noises, hotspots, and sightings. From there, we conduct a thorough property inspection, ensuring:
✔ Precise bait station placement for maximum effectiveness
✔ Identification of entry points to stop rodents from coming back
✔ Expert prevention tips to safeguard your home long-term
Rodents Can Cause Floods & Fires – Here’s Why
Unchecked rodent infestations can lead to serious home damage, including flooding and fire hazards. Rodents have incredibly strong teeth that grow about 0.3mm every day, requiring them to constantly gnaw to keep them in check.
✔ They chew through wood, water pipes, plastic, gyprock, and even electrical wiring.
✔ Damaged pipes can lead to flooding, causing costly water damage.
✔ Gnawed electrical wires pose a major fire risk, increasing the chance of short circuits.
Based on evidence like droppings, nests, rub marks, and gnaw marks, we strategically place bait stations to effectively target the infestation while using minimal chemicals.
After treatment, rodents may become more active and even fight over the bait, but this behavior typically settles within a few days as the treatment takes effect. Proper bait placement ensures maximum efficiency, leading to a successful and long-lasting rodent solution.
Our bait is a single-feed solution with a delayed effect, preventing rodents from associating it with their demise. Depending on consumption levels, it can take 1 to 3 weeks to completely eliminate the colony. However, the presence of alternative food sources may slow this process.
The bait also induces thirst, prompting rodents to leave in search of water, which helps minimize carcass presence indoors. Out of our last 250 jobs, we received only 15 calls for dead animal removal, demonstrating the effectiveness and discreet action of our treatment.
Our primary goal is not just to eliminate the current infestation but also to prevent future rodent issues in roof and wall voids while reducing wandering rodents on your property. Our treatment comes with a 6-month warranty, ensuring long-term effectiveness.
For a long-lasting and environmentally friendly solution, we offer proofing services, though it can be challenging since rodents can squeeze through gaps as small as 1.3 cm. This treatment is pet and child safe, and we take extra care to place bait stations in hidden, out-of-reach areas.
Did you know that just two rats can multiply into 2,000 individuals in a single year? Rats reproduce rapidly, with females having 5 to 10 litters per year, each containing 6 to 12 babies. In just 5 weeks, a female can have her first litter, and by 10 weeks, her offspring are already reproducing, leading to exponential population growth.
Prevention is key, and our PestShield Program is the best long-term solution for wildlife-friendly pest control. By addressing infestations before numbers spiral out of control, PestShield covers rodents and 39 other pests, backed by a 1-year warranty for total peace of mind.
