How We Treat Rodents
When treating a rodent infestation, we will first search the house for the pests and determine where their dwelling spots are. We will use a variety of tools to find them, such as torches or motion detectors. Our method is thorough to ensure all rodents are found.
Once we confirm them, we will use our treatment to remove the rat infestation. Then, we will proceed to apply preventive treatment, so they won’t come back in. This offers protection for your properties.
Why Are Rodents Considered Pests?
Rodents are pests not only because they chew our electrical wiring and storage food, but they are also a potential health hazard. They carry more than 35 contaminants, such as Hantavirus and Salmonella. The disease is typically transmitted through the faeces they leave around the house, but also as they eat your stored items. It is important to act quickly to protect your customers and residents.
Rodent Species in Townsville
Townsville has a variety of rodents, but the more likely species to infest home and business are the following:
- House Mouse: Very small attic dwellers that often chew on the electrical wires.
- Black Rat: Despite the name, this rat is actually brown and spends its time on the roofs.
- Norway Rat: Large rats that usually spend their time in the sewers.

Treatment Tips and Advice
Rodents can be kept away with just a few tricks, including the following:
- Getting a Cat: Cats don’t need to be the best hunters to keep rodents away. Since they are natural enemies, just their scent will be enough to keep the pest away.
- Seal Entry Points: They get inside your property through cracks in your walls or roof. Seal them to prevent pests from entering.
- Keep the Garbage Under the Lid: They are dumpster divers, so they won’t miss a chance to jump the leftovers in your garbage can. Put a lid over it so they won’t be able to get in.
- Plant Some Mint: They find the scent of mint highly repelling. By planting it in the garden and ruffling it now and again, you should be able to keep the rodents away.
- Use Mouse Traps: Mouse traps are a classic way to catch wandering visitors. If you don’t want to kill them with the standard mousetrap, you can use the kind that only captures, so that you may release them in the wild.
- Keep Food in Storage Covered: If you have food in storage, such as pet food or grains, you might want to cover it. Ideally, you should use metal containers, as they are more difficult to chew through.
- Clean Underneath Trees: Fallen fruit from the trees will attract rodents. You may want to make sure the underneath is clean and that there aren’t many fallen fruits there.
- Get Professional Pest Control: Sometimes, the best way to keep pests away is to employ leading pest control solutions. Experts know which products to use to keep rodents away. They also maintain quality standards in their work.
