Rats in the roof?
Mice in the walls?
We can help with that. ​
But first things first....
How do you know if you have rodents in your home?
It can be tricky to tell the difference.
But accidentally treating a possum like a rat (with baits) is illegal, and dangerous for our native wildlife.
​
​On the flip side, treating a rat like a possum just lets them chew their way back in.
​We will figure it out as soon as we arrive, but here is a quick cheat sheet to help you identify the intruder.
​
-
Noise:
-
Heavy thumping and slow movements? Usually a Possum.
-
Fast scratching, scuttling, or gnawing? Usually a Rodent.
-
-
Location:
-
Mainly in the roof? Could be either.
-
Hearing noises inside the wall cavities? That is almost always a Rodent.
-
-
Timing:
-
Active at night, or leaves at dusk and returns at dawn? Likely a Possum.
-
Active on-and-off all the time? Likely a Rodent.
-
-
Mess:
-
Large droppings and urine stains? Possum.
-
Small droppings, shredded paper, or chewed food packets? Rodent.
-
We've also built a handy tool to help identify what you're dealing with!

Things about rodents that make you go "rats!"
Sure, the scratching in the roof is annoying. But rodents are more than just a nuisance. They're destructive houseguests.
​
Rodents have teeth that never stop growing, meaning they have to chew on hard surfaces constantly to file them down.
Unfortunately, your home is their chew toy.​
And untreated? Rodents in your home can lead to...​
​
Fire Hazards
Rodents are notorious for stripping insulation off live electrical wires in roofs, creating a serious fire risk.
​
Structural Damage
They tunnel through insulation, chew through PVC pipes, and destroy plasterboard.
Contamination
They steal food and leave behind urine and droppings, spreading Salmonella and bacteria through your kitchen.
Breeding
A pair of mice can produce up to 50 offspring in a year.
The problem never gets smaller on its own.
