Our Rat & Mice Control Services

We deal with all types of rodent issues, for homes and businesses alike, including:

Inspection & assessment of the property to identify how the rats or mice are getting in, where they’re nesting, and how extensive the problem is.
Trapping solutions — humane or high‑efficiency traps, depending on the situation.
Approved rodenticides were needed, always used responsibly and in line with safety and environmental regulations.
Sealing and prevention: blocking entry points, advising on environmental hygiene, recommending repairs or changes (e.g. wire mesh, grilles, sealing cracks).

Why Prompt Rat & Mice Control Is Crucial

Rats and mice are more than just an unpleasant sight or noise:

They carry diseases (Salmonella, Leptospirosis, etc.).
They gnaw on wires, insulation, wood — risk of structural damage or fire.
They multiply quickly. What looks like a few can become a full infestation.
They can harm business reputations (if food premises, etc.) or cause anxiety and distress in homes.

Tips to Prevent Future Infestations

After we’ve cleared the current problem, here are steps you can take to keep rodents away:

Keep food stored securely, and clean up spills and crumbs.
Seal up gaps around doors, windows, pipes, and where wires or cables enter the property.
Maintain clean, dry environments around your building by avoiding standing water, clutter, and debris.
Inspect roofs, lofts, basements/crawl spaces regularly.
