All About Mice and Rats
Finding mice or rats in your house can be a nightmare. Seems familiar? not your ordinary Australia rodents or any pet rat story. Imagine small, cute burglars running through your house at night opening food packages just to ruin the insides.
Occasionally, they even make meals out of unknowing humans in their slumber. They connect cables, wires and in other words more work to plan your space as they leave residues here and there with the mess. And the biggest concern? They can even spread diseases leading to salmonella, the dreaded hantavirus, plus so much more that affects both humans and livestock.
Common Types of Rats in Perth
In Perth, different species of rats could be around.
Roof rats
Marsh rice rats
Rice rats
Norway rats
Brown rats
This mouse is also known as the long haired rat, house rats or bush rats and they can be just as damaging throughout some regions of Australia. Let me point out that most mice are smaller, and sleeker shaped like a sparrow with long thin tails.
Sure Signs of Infestation
Do not expect to catch rats or mice red-handed, as they are sneaky. On the contrary, only watch (and listen!) for when out for these signs:
Audio: The audio of bumping in the middle of the evening or unusual sounds coming from upstairs.
Droppings: Mostly in kitchen, pantry sources.
Look inside of food boxes, plastic packaging, or any form of wires because rats and mice are always actively gnawing on stuff to keep their teeth in check.
Nesting: These colonial mammals create their nests in ceilings, walls and even underground using the material they have been known to steal, such as fabric or paper.
Routes: Particularly in the backyard or garden where there could be a regular rat run.
If the evidence indicates rodents may be in your home, you need to act whether it is by using DIY tools (traps/poisons) or contracting effective solutions provided by professionals such as Profix Termite Treatment Guilford.
Profix Termite Treatment Guilford Experts in Rodent Resolution
If things are not too out of control yet, experimenting with a few traps or rat poison should be your first step. However, traps and poisons have their drawbacks as mice or rats infected with poison may die in uncomfortable corners of your home (and you will need to find the dead bodies), worst case scenario is that other non target animals or small children will come into contact with the substance.
This is where our expert technicians come in handy! After you have eradicated the rodents, take preventive measures against future infestations by following these tips:
Keep all food in air-tight, high quality containers
Minimizing food mess around your residence and making certain family pet bowls are clean as well.
Putting pet food in sealed containers
