Proofing your business and home to deny rats entry, and removing easy access to food and water, can really make a difference.

Rodent education and training 

Hygiene and housekeeping should be a key focus with thorough, regular cleaning taking place frequently to avoid rat infestation. Early detection of rat problems and dealing with them as soon as possible means saving costs in the long run. Rentokil can provide practical tips and training on food safety and storage practices, property maintenance, and reducing overall attractants to rat species.

WHERE DOES THIS GO?

How much does rat control cost?

Your rat control costs will ultimately reflect the time and effort it will take to control numbers at your home or business. The first step in determining the cost of rat control is fully understanding the problem. Damaged stock from rat activity? Scratching noises coming from the roof? Grease smudges on surfaces? 

To answer all the above questions, Rentokil will need to visit your property and carry out an inspection for rat activity. Following on from that the below factors will help determine the most effective rat treatment solution and its associated costs.

Type of rat

There are two key species of rat of concern in Australia, the Brown Rat and the Black Rat. Identifying the type of rat infestation plays a key role in the solutions your Rentokil technician will recommend.

Size of property

The square footage of your property and premises will have a direct impact on the type of rat treatment used and the number of follow-up treatments required.

Severity of rat infestation and damage

If many rats are present, or if there is a large amount of rat damage within your property, you may require more extensive treatment. Often, the current rat infestation will need to be managed before a permanent control solution is installed.

FAQs

Do rodents pose health risks to me and my family?

Rodents such as rats and mice pose significant health risks. They can transmit diseases through their urine, droppings, and bites, potentially leading to serious illnesses in humans.

Professional rodent pest control is essential as it ensures thorough eradication of rodent populations and the implementation of preventive measures to safeguard against future infestations.

Can rodents damage my property?

Rodents can inflict substantial damage to properties by gnawing on a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and wiring. Their persistent gnawing behavior can result in structural damage, electrical fires, and water leaks.

Moreover, rodents may contaminate stored food items and packaging with their droppings, bitings, and fur, leading to financial losses for businesses and health hazards for occupants. Therefore, enlisting the services of a rodent exterminator becomes imperative.
