Rodents & Mice Rodents are a huge pest problem particularly in the winter months when they are actively foraging for food and seeking shelter and warmth inside your home. They are known to transmit many diseases, eat and contaminate food, and cause significant structural damage to homes and businesses. Treatment process for Rats & Mice A thorough inspection and assessment is conducted by your technician to identify the level of infestation, type of rodent species present and locate nesting sites/entry points. Upon inspection and assessment, your technician will create a tailored rodent management program that outlines the specific methods and strategies to be used to eliminate the rodents. This will include the placement of secure tamper proof lockable bait stations around the exterior of the property, in roof voids and subfloors. Sealing and proofing entry points is the most effective way of preventing future infestations. Monitoring and follow up visits may be required, as well as bait replenishment/maintenance of bait stations if the infestation is severe. All of our chemical practices/treatments under our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program are approved by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA). Where possible, Petrie’s Pest Control aims to use non-chemical treatments and provide alternate recommendations to our customers to help protect their homes and businesses against unwanted pests.
