Home / Rodent Control
Rodents are a serious issue that affects many Australian homes. They are attracted to the houses because they get everything they need: food, water and shelter.
They damage our house and get inside it to have food. Due to which our food get contaminated.. To keep their teeth growing rodents continuously gnaw. They gnaw on anything, so when you hear noises in your roof, walls or under your home they are not only nesting, but they may be gnawing on your water pipes, plaster, ducting for your heater and air-conditioning, and electrical cables and conduits.
There is data shared by the government that every year several homes are effected by water damaged and in some cases short circuit are caused due to cable cut done by rodent, which is why it’s so important to call for rodent removal and treatment as soon as you notice signs of them moving in.
The first sign of a rodents in your house is their droppings. You can easily find their droppings in your cupboards and shelves of your pantry or behind furniture or inside wall cavities.
Rodents normally create greasy smear marks against the wall or surface while they are traveling from one place to another.
They often leave urine trails that are hard to spot without proper lighting. A male mouse often leaves such trails as a signal to other rodents.
Rodents like to dig and build holes for nesting, food source, and shelter, they will definitely create a hole nearby your home. If you do find one, get a control treatment service conducted soon.
They make sounds when they are gnawing or scratching around your house. They can’t avoid making noises even if they tried, therefore, if you hear any weird sound, get your home inspected for any rodents with a professional pest inspection.
If there is a rodent in your house, there probably is a musky or pungent odor that will linger around your home.
Since this pest’s teeth continuously grow, they gnaw on plastic or wood items to trim the length, thus, resulting in gnaw marks on your wooden furniture or chewed up storage containers in your pantry.
If you frequently notice your pet clawing at a wall or closet, or if your pet is acting strange by sniffing around in certain areas, then there is a possibility that your home might be infested by a rodent.
