Rodents are a big part of pest control in Wallan. With paddocks on the edge of town and plenty of sheds, feed rooms and woodpiles, rats and mice have lots of places to live. When the weather turns cold in autumn, they head for the warmth of roof spaces, wall cavities and garages, and the scratching in the ceiling at night starts.
The crew we book starts by finding out where the rodents are getting in and where they are nesting. They look at the roof space where access allows, check around the base of the home, vents, pipes and gaps under doors, and look in sheds and garages. Bait stations are then placed in lockable boxes along the paths rodents travel, kept away from kids and pets as much as possible.
- Roof spaces and sub-floors checked for droppings and nesting
- Lockable bait stations placed along runways and entry points
- Sheds, garages and feed areas looked at on acreage blocks
- Entry points pointed out so they can be sealed
- Advice on stored feed, rubbish and compost that draws rodents in
Rodent control goes much better when food and shelter are cut down at the same time. Keeping pet food and grain in sealed tubs, stacking wood away from the house and trimming plants back from the walls all help. Rats in particular will chew through soft materials, so steel wool and mesh are handy for blocking small gaps.
