Rats & Mice Removal & Treatment
Today Rodents (rats & mice) are a big issue that is affecting Australian homes. Both rats and mice multiply quickly and do significant damage to your homes. These pests not only spread diseases but also cause food contamination and damage to your property. Call Hire us 4 Pest Control for professional rat & mice removal services in Melbourne.
Damage caused by rodents
Rats and mice both are extremely destructive. They not only cause damage to commercial and domestic property but also agriculture communities. These rodents are unaffected by barrier walls and fences. This is because rats and mice have a strong ability to burrow through almost anything and everything. They can climb vertically, horizontally and on practically everything. Rodents are renowned for causing immense damage.
Starving, angry and cannibalistic: Rats are getting desperate amid coronavirus pandemic in Australia
Melbourne city’s rats have been rising to the occasion during the lockdown: expanding their territories, breaking into shuttered businesses, and eating in closed restaurants at all hours of the day. This is according to frontline pest control workers and rat-catchers, who are reporting a significant uptick in rodent activity in the months since March. Read More
Horrifying Mouse Plague Could Return Worse than Ever After
An out-of-control infestation of mice in Australia is making life difficult for local farmers, grocers and community members. As per the reports, Western Australia, Western NSW and Queensland are predicted to face a mice plague more severely than the previous years. The colony of mice have survived winter strongly and increased the possibility of plague – a sign of destruction.
It is a sign of threat to the farmers and the evidence has started to come in from all places. Concerns have been raised and discussed but with almost no ray of hope for protection for the crops. It is also suggested by experts that the mice infestation has survived the cold temperature drop and now they believe that heavy rainfall could drastically reduce the infestation. Read More
Health Damage
Rats and Mice are carriers of major diseases. These pests have been responsible for the plague a few years back. Rodents can spread diseases to your pets also. They can do this by bites or by transporting fleas, lice, ticks and mites. Several diseases can be caused by rats and mice including leptospirosis, trichinosis, jaundice, rat-mite dermatitis, typhus and many more.
Food Contamination
Did you know rodents shed over 500,000 thousand hairs and defecate up to 25,000 droppings every year? Mice and rats are non-fussy eats. Rats can eat a third of their body weight in a day while mice are nibblers. These annoying pests cause much more damage to food than what they consume daily.
Property Damage
Whether you have a commercial property or a domestic property, these rodents can cause severe damage. They can chew through home structures, books, furniture, leather and anything and everything. Rats and mice damage property by gnawing through containers, wood, insulation and wiring. This damage can often cause a huge hole in your pockets.
Fast Reproduction
Rats and mice both reproduce super fast. They can produce more than 100 babies annually and they breed throughout the year. They can live for over 3 years and if left untreated, they can become a major risk to your health and safety.
There are different types of rodents found in the residential as well as commercial properties:
Rodents are nocturnal creatures. This means they are the most active between dusk and dawn and hide from humans during the day. There are, however, many signs that prove a rodent infestation even if you haven’t spotted them. Some of these signs are as under:
Droppings: Did you know rats can produce up to 40 droppings per night while mice produce 50-80 droppings? If you find droppings in your house or commercial space then it’s time to call our rats and mice pest control team.
Scratching Noises: Rodents are most active during the night and if you hear any kind of scratching noises at unusual times, it is a major sign of rodent infestation.
Footprints: Rodents leave foot and tail marks in dusty and less used places. If you want to check for the tracks, you can sprinkle some flour or talcum powder and check the next day for fresh tracks.
Cause Fires: Rodents cause immense damage not only to food but also wood and plastic. These rodents also have the potential to cause fire by chewing wires. Chewed electrical wires and ripped food packaging are a major sign of rodent infestation.
Nests: Rodents like rats and mice build their nests in warm, hidden places using shredded materials like newspaper and fabrics. Usually, rodent nests are located close to food sources.
Methods to control rodent infestation
Prevention is always better than cure. It is, therefore, important to prevent these rodents from entering your premises and this can be done in three simple steps.
1. Deny Food: This can be done by storing all the food items in inaccessible places. If rats and mice do not find food, they start killing each other and the matter starts resolving.
2. Deny Shelter: Once you block all the openings around your property, you deny entry to these annoying rodents.
3. Seek Professional Assistance: You can set up cages to capture them and release them in wild or areas from where they cannot return. The best option always is to select professional assistance.
