Rats and mice have plagued human habitation since antiquity. Wherever in the world you find established human communities, you will also find rat and mice populations. Responsible for everything from reduced harvests to the Black Death which killed between 30 and 60% of Europe’s total population, rodents are among the most damaging pests you can find in a household. In most cases, the occasional trap or well-trained household cat will keep your rodent population to a minimum, however if rodent numbers do swell out of control, professional rodent services are the best solution.

Why am I seeing rodents?

Don’t worry, if you are seeing rats and mice in your home or business it doesn’t mean it’s dirty; wherever there are established human dwellings there are rodents. Factors like weather and a lack of predators in an area can also cause populations to swell out of control. Rat and mice populations are attracted to human habitations because they provide a reliable source of food and shelter.

In Australia, there are three common kinds of household rodents; the ground rat or Norway rat – Rattus norvegicus  the climbing or roof rat – Rattus rattus and the house or field mouse – Mus musculus. All of these rodents are introduced species and can wreak havoc in your home or business if left unchecked.

What do they do?

Rodents are one of the main culprits when it comes to circulating vector borne diseases. Many bacterial and viral diseases can be spread by either the insects (such as fleas) which live on the rodent, or the faeces and urine of animal itself. Rats and mice also tend to gnaw and cause damage to many common household fixtures and items including upholstery, wood, paper, wires, electrical cables and of course food.
