There are a few ways they can gain access, one way being the breather holes at the bottom of the house or the gaps around pipes. A mouse can fit through a gap the thickness of your little finger and a rat to the thickness of your thumb.
Once they gain access through the breather holes or pipes, they climb up the inside of the walls and up into the roof cavity.
Another common way is if you have branches or trees leaning up against your house. So, it’s always advisable to trim these back a metre from your roof.

No, that is not true. A lot of plumbers will tell you this however, the 2nd generation bait used today, is anticoagulant bait, so it does not make the rodents thirsty. Rodents will chew through insulation pipes, wiring etc because rats need to keep gnawing as their teeth are constantly growing.

If you are unlucky enough to have a rodent die in the wall, there is little we can do unless you want to cut the wall open to remove it. However we can supply you with odour remover bags which you place beside the wall and this draws the odour to the bag which lessons the smell.

We can supply you with a number of different options depending on your requirements. We have rat & mice lockable stations that you can place in or outside of the house that are pet and child proof. We can show you how to service these or we can do that for you on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly contract both residential and commercial.

If your dog does eat the bait, your vets are aware that a shot of Vitamin K1 is what they require. This is why it is very important that you don’t throw the bait around loosely, and make use of the locked secure bait stations.

During the cooler months the food source is scarcer so they are coming into your home or barns looking for food. They are also looking for warmth and shelter and unfortunately when it’s all silent and you’re lying in your bed at night, you can hear them scratching in your roof or walls. This is them nesting.

It’s very important to keep the rodents population under control as they can breed very quickly in the right conditions.

Everybody is different as generally no situations are the same and people have different requirements. You are best to give me a call on 03 313 1443 so we can set up a site inspection and give you a quote based on your requirements.
