Rodent Control on the Sunshine Coast to North Brisbane

Maybe you heard footsteps, maybe you saw droppings… it doesn’t matter how you found out about the problem — rodents are upsetting!

You can place rodent traps and bait stations sourced from places like Bunnings, but what good are they if you don’t know how they work or where to put them for effective and permanent treatment? You want the rodents out of your home and you want them gone forever!

You need a professional site assessment to identify how and where rodents are getting in to and out of your home.

How We Get Rid of Rats and Mice

  • We begin by surveying the home to look for droppings, possible nesting sites, food sources and possible travel routes.
  • Then we devise a baiting program, which calculates the number of stations required; where the stations should be positioned; and how frequently the stations need to be rebaited. Our technicians choose a professional grade bait that takes into account the requirements of the home (for example, if you have a dog or a cat, it is important that we choose a bait that does not have secondary poisoning effects).
  • Next, we load the stations with professional grade rodent baits and place them in the best positions.
  • Our technicians then make suggestions about improvements that can be made to the home to minimise the chance of rodents getting into your home in the future.

Keep Rats, Mice, & Vermin Out Of Your Home

Why Rats, Mice, and Other Vermin Are a Problem

  • They can eat large quantities of human food stores, and contaminate what is left with their excrement.
  • Rats and mice carry diseases which are harmful to human health. Throughout history, rodents have been responsible for millions of human deaths.
  • Rodents have strong incisor teeth which they use to chew through almost anything. This can cause damage to your plumbing and cause floods, or to electrical wires and cause fires. They can also damage furniture, carpets, and even building structures. Awful!
  • Rodents carry a strong odour that can be hard to remove once infestation occurs. This is usually due to urine, excrements, and the occasional death of a rodent or two within walls and roof spaces.

How You Can Control Rodents and Vermin

Prevention is better than a cure! Cleanliness and sanitation are the most important method for reducing the likelihood of rodent infestations in your home. Here are some other helpful tips:

  • Ensure your garbage bins have tight-fitting lids. Empty them regularly and keep them clean.
  • Ensure green waste is removed the same day as gardening, as green waste will attract rodents.
  • Rodent-proof your home by limiting points of entry. Any cracks or holes in your home should be repaired. Use sturdy materials to do so, such as iron grills, heavy metals, and/or concrete. Remember, rodents can gnaw through plastics, wood and soft metals.

If You See Rodents, You Can Try to Control Them

  • You can buy rodent stations and traps from supermarkets and tool stores; however, the quality of these baits is inferior to the professional grade baits that pest control technicians like us provide. Before buying, try to find out how many baits are included in the station. The more bait the better!
  • Most people severely underestimate the number of rodent bait stations required to eradicate a rodent infestation. Make sure to buy plenty of stations (at least four).
  • Rodent station placement is very important. Often, the rodents are going to be in the roof. If you believe they’re in the roof, you’re going to have to climb up there. Place a number of stations around the roof (the number of stations will depend on the number of rodents in the roof).
  • Try to find how the rodents are getting into your home. If they’re in the roof, think about how they are getting in and out of there. Place a few stations along these travel routes. Make sure to have the holes of the station closest to the walls. Rodents will travel along the wall edge, so you want to make it easy for the rodent to go into the bait station.
  • Note: Rats are rather intelligent. If they smell your scent on the station, they may mark it off limits. If you place the station in a peculiar place, they may avoid it.
