Rodent Control FAQs

What are the most common signs of rats or mice in a home?

You may notice droppings, gnaw marks on skirting boards or near food storage, rub or smear marks along walls, and scratching sounds inside walls or ceilings. Activity is often strongest along entry routes and where rodents hide during the day.

Why is an inspection important before treatment?

Rodents tend to travel through specific routes and harbour in concealed spaces, so treatment that only targets what is visible can miss the source. An inspection helps identify entry points, nesting areas, and the locations driving the activity.

How should I prepare my home before a rodent control visit?

You will be given a prep checklist to follow before the technician arrives. In general, it helps to clear access to areas where rodents are active and follow any instructions about securing household items for safe handling.

What should I do after rodent treatment?

After the visit, follow the after-visit guidance provided so the treatment can work effectively and your home stays safer for children and pets. If you are unsure about what you are seeing, contact the service for advice based on the activity in your home.

What if I still see signs after treatment?

Rodent activity can be influenced by how quickly entry points are sealed and how the risk factors change. If activity continues, review the guidance you received and contact the service again so the next steps are based on what the inspector sees.
