Rodent Control
Manage Rodent Activity and Protect Your Property
Rodent Control refers to a combination of methods used to manage and eliminate populations of rats and mice. Treatment may involve trapping, baiting with rodenticides, blocking entry points and maintaining cleanliness to discourage rodent activity.
Effective rodent management helps protect homes, offices and other structures from the health risks, contamination and property damage that rodents may cause.

Tamper Resistant Bait Station
A Tamper Resistant Bait Station is a lockable container used in rodent-control programmes. It allows rats and mice to access poisoned bait while helping prevent access by children and non-target animals such as cats and dogs.
The bait station is made from sturdy plastic that is resistant to weather-related damage. Its enclosed construction helps protect the bait from moisture, dust and accidental disturbance.
Trapping and Repellent Solutions
Glue boards and rodent repellent gel provide different approaches for managing activity in suitable indoor and outdoor areas.
Glue Board
A Rodent Glue Board consists of a flat cardboard, paper or plastic board covered with strong adhesive. When a rat or mouse moves across the board, it becomes immobilised by the adhesive.
Rodent Repellent
Rodent Repellent Gel uses natural ingredients, often plant extracts, to produce a strong smell that discourages rodents from remaining in a treated area.
Some products use hot pepper extract, while others contain essential oils such as peppermint or cinnamon. The gel is generally easy to apply and may cover a relatively large area.
Block Potential Rodent Entry Points
Rodent proofing, also known as rodent exclusion, is a preventive method used to keep rats and mice from entering a property. It involves identifying and sealing small openings, gaps and cracks that rodents may use as access points.
Materials such as steel wool or caulk may be used to close suitable openings. Regular cleaning and property maintenance also help remove the conditions that allow rodents to survive and reproduce.
- Identify openings, cracks and gaps around the property.
- Seal suitable access points using materials such as steel wool or caulk.
- Maintain cleanliness to reduce food and shelter opportunities.
- Carry out regular maintenance to discourage recurring rodent activity.
Rodent proofing helps protect the property from potential damage and the health risks associated with rats and mice.
