Rodent Pest Control Pretoria

Our Treatment Process

Ground Treatments for Effective Rodent Control

Different types of rats need specific poisons/rodenticides and treatments.

For instance, we use tamper-proof bait stations, also called rodent bait stations, made from strong plastic. These stations act as feeding stations for rodents and are filled with wax blocks (poison). We place them strategically around outside perimeters, such as houses, gardens, buildings, and other affected areas.

Additionally, we make these bait stations child and pet safe. The poison comes in various forms, including wax blocks, liquid, or powder. We install and supply the strongest and most reliable boxes available on the market, which include a locking mechanism to ensure safety. The poison we use minimizes secondary effects on animals such as dogs, owls, or cats, even if they consume a contaminated rodent

Roof Treatments for Active Rodent Infestations

We also treat roof areas when rats are active in ceilings. Depending on the situation, our pest control exterminators use different methods to eliminate rodent activity in ceilings of houses, buildings, or other structures.

More About Rats and Rodents

Rats pose serious health risks and are considered deadly pests. According to the CDC, rats can spread nearly a dozen diseases. Many companies enforce strict regulations for rat removal. In some cases, residential and commercial businesses must hire specially trained and licensed exterminators to resolve infestations. For example, rats often infest areas around pipes, behind walls, and near garbage cans. Effective rat control requires municipal workers and individuals to work together.

Rats are medium-sized, long-tailed rodents. Notably, the black rat and the brown rat are the most common species. People usually distinguish rats from mice by their size, calling larger rodents rats and smaller ones mice. Rats spread diseases such as Murine Typhus, Rat Bite Fever, and Salmonellosis. Additionally, they can transmit Foot and Mouth Disease, another zoonotic illness. These common species adapt to human environments, making them dangerous pests.
