Rodent Control & Care
Rodents, such as rats and mice, pose a significant problem for many homes in Australia. They are attracted to houses for food, water, and shelter. Rodents can spread diseases, contaminate food, and damage property as they gnaw to keep their teeth from growing too long. Noises in your roof or walls might indicate nesting and gnawing on pipes, plaster, and wires. Each year, many homes suffer from water damage or fires due to rodent issues, making it vital to call for removal and treatment at the first sign of them. Recently, calls for rodent control in Melbourne and Victoria have surged as rodent populations have rapidly increased in many areas.
