Keeping it clean to avoid rat and mice infestations
Rodent pest control starts with a well managed, clean property. Reduce all access to food and remove rubbish that rodents can use to hide and breed in; an ideal way to reduce infestations in buildings is to ensure you rodent-proof the premises.
Rat and mice Treatment Methods
There are different modes of action when it comes to using baits. The Pest Company have many options and may decide on the most effective method once they access the site.
Traps are an option for smaller populations, and in most cases, both small and large infestations rodenticide baits are placed strategically in the path of the rats searching for food to gain effective control. But, remembering, it may take a few weeks to gain full control.
Rodenticides
For single-dose, rodents consume a lethal dose in a single feed, whereas for multi-dose, rodents must feed on the baits for several days before accumulating a lethal dose.
