Rodents - Rats & Mice
RATS & MICE REGULARLY CREATE BIG PROBLEMS FOR GOVERNMENT AND COMMERCIAL ORGANISATIONS. THEY ARE THE BIGGEST DISEASE CARRIERS AND ARE RAPID BREEDERS.
RATS & MICE ARE ABLE TO BREED BETWEEN 2–4 MONTHS AFTER BEING BORN. TWO RATS LIVING UNDER IDEAL CONDITIONS CAN PRODUCE AN ASTONISHING 350 MILLION RATS IN THREE YEARS.
Rats are nocturnal, which can make them more difficult to detect and catch. However, they rarely stray far from their nest and often stick to well-known paths. By knowing their instinctual patterns, our team can work towards locating the nests and controlling them.
Rats in the home and office: Unlike mice, rats have a fondness for rubber and plastic, leading them to chew on electrical wires and telephone cables, which can often cause system failures. This can create serious problems for all types of buildings.
Like mice, rats are notorious carriers of disease and bacteria. Diseases like murine typhus, rat-bite fever, salmonella and meningitis. Rats will often look for food in kitchens – the perfect place to spread disease. To help prevent rats in your home or workplace, it is important to ensure you keep all food stored in sealed containers, keep bins sealed and clean up any scraps of food or crumbs that could attract these unwanted pests.
Rat Control and Rat Removal: Due to their remarkably quick breeding habits, it’s important to identify a rat problem before it gets out of control. Our staff are trained to handle any size rat problem and have all the necessary equipment to ensure an effective, long-term solution.
Mice Control and Mouse Removal: Infestations are very common, sudden and destructive. A female mouse can produce up to ten litters a year, so unchecked mice populations can grow rapidly. If you have a mice infestation, here are some of the financial and health risks you face.
Structural damage: Mice have a destructive nature and they can create serious damage. They will not only chew on wooden and fabric based furniture but also wire, insulation and ducted heating/cooling systems. Damage to wiring can cause fires, creating a safety hazard for you, your family, staff and building. Damaged insulation is also a fire hazard and often a symptom of mice infestation.
Damage to goods: Not only will mice damage the structure of your building, they will damage your goods as well. Mice can and will hoard and consume food scraps, magazines, newspapers and more. Mice will chew away at furniture, causing unsightly chew marks and can ruin expensive goods. If your business is in food, mice not only eat your stock, but they will contaminate it as well.
Health and safety: Controlling your mice problem can mean eliminating the risk of disease. The inhalation of dust contaminated by the birthing fluids of mice or rats can cause Q- fever in humans, a disease that can often have serious complications. Mice also transmit salmonella, murine typhus and leptospirosis.
