Mice and Rodents

Mice and Rodents

Rats and mice are very adaptable public health pests and are considered the most successful mammal species after humans. They are not fussy eaters and can make themselves at home in any number of structures like houses, roof voids, subfloors, sheds, garages, gardens , and of course commercial premises such as warehouses, factory’s, feed mills, drains, ships, wharfs, food production premises, restaurants and the list goes on.

Rats and mice are considered a nuisance because of the damage they cause to buildings as well as the foul odours they create with their colonies. Their continual gnawing through pipes, conduits and electrical wiring has been the cause of electrical fires all over Australia.

  • Once become familiar with the station will start to investigate and then feeds.
  • Most rodents are very sociable; living in large groups and families of a least 10 to 15 plus.
  • Once the rodents feeds on the products and baits they are killed; they only have to feed once, because a little amount will still kill the rodent.
