Rodents

A typical rat

Rats and mice live in the same environment as humans. They eat our scraps and live in our buildings. They can produce many litters of babies each year. Their numbers build up because we are often careless about hygiene and sanitation. During winter they try to move indoors.

They tend to carry disease and so their control is important to you and your family.

You don’t often see rodents during the day. They are most active at night. They chew objects to keep their incisor teeth short and this can involve dangers to electrical wiring.

Because they can detect chemicals in food they can also become ‘bait shy’ and home solutions can fail due to this.

Termimesh Pest Management carefully inspects your home to determine the reasons for any build up. Attention is given to

  • need to block up any entry points
  • attention to hygiene and sanitation
  • what baits to use.
