Rodent Pest Control Geelong​

The threat of rats and mice is common regardless of where you live, either in rural or urban areas, which means pest control (especially rodent control services) is essential. In most cases, these pests may have even entered your home without your knowledge, exposing your family to the many diseases these creatures carry.

Rodents, including a house mouse problem, sewer rat, roof rat or brown rat infestation, can result in disease spread since they can transmit pathogens to humans and household pets. They can contaminate food since they urinate and defecate as they scamper over your kitchen. Therefore, a rodent infestation is not to be taken lightly, especially when the health and well-being of your loved ones are at stake.

Essential Pest Essential technicians are the experts in providing rodent solutions to

Geelong, Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula, Western District, Lara and surrounding areas.

Here is some helpful information about rodent infestation, rodent control treatment, and rodent removal to help protect your family and home.

Check For Rodent Entry Points Around the House

Rodents don’t even need a tree branch to climb to get into your home because they can scale sheer walls like spiders to reach a second storey. Rats and mice can flatten themselves to slip through tiny openings, so the best thing to do is call rodent control services such as Essential Pest Solutions to find the likely entry points and eradicate the pests.

Likely Rodent Entry Points:

Rodent entering through a weep hole
  • Door gaps
  • Electrical wires
  • Fence railings
  • Gaps between materials
  • Plumbing
  • Poorly sealed doors and window frames
  • Roof vents, air conditioning, and heating units
  • Tree branches
  • Weak foundations and materials
  • Window ledges and sills
  • Weep vents and water conduits
  • Corrugation sheeting and tiled roofs

How do you identify rodent invasions?

It’s always better to have pest control treatments to catch the rats and mice before their populations grow into larger infestations, but how do you know if you have a rodent infestation?

The following are some signs to look out for:

  • Rat excretions (e.g., rodent droppings and urine)
  • Small chew or gnawing marks
  • Rodent footprints or tracks
  • Heightened allergies that are not caused by seasonal changes
  • Scampering, scratching or gnawing noises
  • Holes on walls or cabinets or other materials
  • Rotting odour (possibly due to dead rats)

The most effective way to find out if you have rodents is to have regular pest inspections and pest control treatments by Essential Pest Solutions.
