How important is rat control?
Rats are more than an annoying intrusion – they’re also a serious health and safety risk to you, your home and your property. Some of the problems they cause include:
Damage to buildings
Rats and other rodents can chew through walls and floor joists and damage insulation.
Fire risk
Rodents pose a fire risk as they can also chew through electrical wiring.
Damage to outdoor structures
Rats’ burrowing can affect the stability of structures like retaining walls.
Food wastage and contamination
Rats will quickly find their way into unsealed food (and even chew through sealed packages), contaminating it with their fur, urine and droppings.
Controlling the problem before it’s too late
A single rat may seem harmless enough, but they breed extremely quickly – a pair of brown rats (one of Hobart’s most common species) can multiply to over 1,200 rats within the space of a year. That’s why if you notice any rat problems, you should address them straight away.
Available rodent treatments
Rat and rodent treatment options should always be safe for your household, including pets and children who could accidentally eat rat bait.
All treatment begins with a thorough inspection of your property. We pinpoint tracks and nests, to eradicate rats in the fastest, most efficient way.
Rat treatments can include:
- Baiting: We use lockable bait stations, which let rodents in but stop wildlife, pets and children accessing the bait.
- Trapping: Where baiting isn’t an option, traps are strategically placed in concealed areas of your home. We will monitor these traps regularly.
- Tracking powder: This attaches to the rat’s fur and paws, and it ingests the powder when it grooms itself.
Haven’t seen any rats or mice since
“Dave is a good bloke. I called him to arrange a rat removal inside the wall. He showed up the next morning and took care of the issue with professionalism and friendliness. Haven’t seen any rats and mice since his last visit. Can’t recommend Dave highly enough.”
