Rodent Control
Rodents can cause significant damage to homes and businesses, leading to serious financial losses and health risks. As omnivores, they consume a wide variety of food and products. Their continuously growing incisors create a constant need to gnaw on anything they encounter. Known carriers of disease, they spread bacteria and germs through their large quantities of urine and droppings. Rodents can damage various items, including your home’s insulation, electrical cables, floor joints, and walls. Their burrowing habits can undermine the structural integrity of your building and retaining walls. The primary rodent pests in Australia include the house mouse, roof rat, and Norway rat. They reproduce rapidly, making them a significant concern for households and businesses, which is why effective rodent pest control is essential.
Rodent Control
Gaining insight into rodent behavior is crucial for effectively removing mice and rats. These pests are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of home environments. Studies have shown that both rats and mice can consume as much as half their body weight in food each day.
Rats reach maturity in just 2 to 3 months and have a gestation period of around 22 days. A single pair of rats can produce 4 to 7 litters annually, with each litter containing as many as 8 to 12 offspring. On average, rats live for about one year. Research indicates that mice and rats are responsible for destroying enough food to potentially feed 200 million people worldwide.
Rats can navigate through openings the size of a nickel, while mice can squeeze through spaces slightly larger than a dime. This highlights the importance of enlisting a local rodent control professional to thoroughly inspect your home, both inside and out.

Preventative Measures for Rodents
Rodents can be a significant nuisance and may cause considerable damage to homes and structures. To prevent their entry and potential infestation, several proactive steps can be taken. Firstly, it’s essential to seal all access points that rodents might exploit to enter the building. This includes filling cracks in walls, closing gaps around doors and windows, and blocking openings around pipes and vents. Utilizing materials such as silicone caulk, steel wool, and metal mesh can effectively seal these vulnerabilities.
Moreover, it’s vital to store all food in airtight containers to avoid attracting rodents. This applies to pet food, birdseed, and any other consumables. Maintaining a tidy environment by promptly cleaning up crumbs and spills, as well as properly disposing of trash, can further discourage rodents from invading your space.
