Rodent Pest Control Sydney

Preparation and Expectations

United in solving your pest issues

Important: If you have young children or pets that can access the external areas or the area under the house it is essential that you inform us

Before the treatment

What you need to do:

Clean up before treatment both inside and outside
Mow the lawns
Cut back vegetation away from the house
Limit external garbage
Keep garbage bins closed with a tight-fitting lid

The Day of the treatment

What we will do :

Internally: We use baits in areas that are inaccessible to pets or children such as behind the fridge, washing machine, stove etc

Roof Cavity: Baits are placed in the roof space void (accessed through the man hole, usually inside the house)

Externally: Baits are placed in external areas and the sub floor areas. If this is accessible to children or pets then baits will be placed in lockable bait stations.

After the Treatment:

Pest Treated:

Rodents – Rats & Mice

Expectation:

4 weeks

What you may see:

It is common to hear or see an increase in rodent activity after the treatment has been done as rats and mice become attracted to the baits
You may hear the rats/mice playing, dragging, and throwing the bait blocks in the roof void
Rodent activity will decrease over the next 3-4 weeks
Do not seal off any entrance/exit points until the infestation is under control.
Some rodent infestations may take longer to bring under control as larger populations would need longer to feed off the bait.

How are rats and mice treated?

PNP Pest Control used bait to eradicate rats & mice

Roof

Bait will be placed in the roof cavity/space which is accessed through the man hole inside your home.

Internal

Rodent Bait blocks will be placed in internal areas such as behind the fridge, stove, washing machine, cupboards and behind furniture.

Sub Floor

Bait blocks will also be placed in the area under the house. If these areas are accessible to pets or children, the baits must be placed in lockable boxes.

Externally

Rats and mice come from external areas before they make it into your house, so we would recommend to get the external areas treated.

PNP pest Control recommends using lockable rodent stations as it not only protects pets, children neighbouring pests or wildlife they also protect the baits from rain – providing you with a longer protection.

How Does Rat Bait Work?

Most rodent baits available in today’s market are anticoagulants which means the baits are designed to affect the rat or mice blood, by reducing the ability of blood to clot so they will bleed internally and die.
