Get answers to common questions about our services
How can I tell if I have rats or mice?
Rats leave larger droppings (12-18mm), cause more visible damage, and make louder noises. Mice leave smaller droppings (3-8mm) and tend to nest in hidden indoor areas. Rats are more cautious and may avoid new objects, while mice are curious. Professional identification is crucial as treatment methods differ significantly between species.
Can I handle a rodent problem myself?
DIY methods rarely address the root cause and often make problems worse by making rodents bait-shy or pushing them deeper into structures. Professional pest control ensures proper identification, strategic placement of treatments, comprehensive entry point sealing, and follow-up monitoring - elements essential for complete elimination.
How long does rodent treatment take?
Initial treatment is typically completed in one visit, but complete elimination usually takes 1-3 weeks depending on infestation severity. Multiple visits may be needed for monitoring, bait replenishment, and ensuring all rodents are eliminated. Severe infestations or complex properties may require longer treatment periods.
Will rodents die in my walls?
Modern rodent control methods minimise this risk. Rodents typically leave structures when affected, seeking water outdoors. We use strategic placement techniques and professional products designed to reduce wall death occurrences. If necessary, we can locate and remove any deceased rodents safely and hygienically.
Do you offer guarantees on rodent control?
We offer warranties on our rodent control services when accompanied by proper proofing work. The warranty covers re-treatment if rodent activity returns within the specified period. However, guarantees require client cooperation with prevention recommendations and proper property maintenance to prevent new entry points.
What attracts rats and mice to homes?
Rodents seek three things: food, water, and shelter. Accessible food sources (unsealed bins, pet food, bird feeders), water sources (leaky pipes, standing water), and entry points (gaps in foundations, damaged vents, open doors) attract them. Cluttered areas providing nesting materials and protection also increase rodent activity around properties.
