Rats and Mice are more of a problem in the winter months when they come inside for the warmth and food. Drought times are also when you will see or hear them. Identification can be determined by their droppings. We just don’t come out and place bait in the roof.
Rats cause damage gnawing electrical cables, plastic, wood etc., (to keep their teeth down for them to feed), causing major expense and hazard to households. Many unexplained house fires are attributed to Rats and Mice.
Mice chew through dishwashing hoses, washing machine hoses, nest in machinery, motors often causing damage to wiring and causing expense to households and farms.
Baiting boxes are installed outside, around the perimeter of dwellings. Thus enticing them to come out to eat and look for water, less chance of them dying inside which causes unpleasant odour.
The bait boxes are lockable and tamperproof, and are children, dog and cat friendly. The bait boxes are used in public areas, schools, child care centres, commercial and domestic homes.
Infestations of Bed Bugs are becoming more frequent. Usually found in warm areas but can be easily transported i.e., cloths, back packs, suit cases, shoes etc.
The products available in today’s market are more environmentally friendly than they were years ago. We use low odour products for sensitive areas.

Wasp (paper wasp), usually found under eaves, windows, doors etc.
European Wasp (introduced species) found mainly in rockeries, brick walls, holes in the ground etc. One Wasp can give multiple stings, leaving a Pheromone trail for others to follow.
Bees (we try and save them), but when they take up residence in dwellings, houses etc., then they become a problem. They can attract other insects, (ants) rats or mice.
