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.
