Mice & Rats

Mice and rats, common pests found in both homes and businesses, present significant health risks by spreading diseases and contaminating food. With their slim bodies, they can squeeze through electrical wiring and walls, causing damage to structures in roof spaces and throughout buildings. Our team at The Local Guys – Pest Control Services specialises in dealing with rodent infestations, including problems with house mice and roof rats. Detecting even the smallest presence of these destructive pests, our professionals customize pest treatments to suit the specific requirements of each property. From inspection to exclusion, site cleaning, and ongoing monitoring, we address infestations comprehensively. In cases of extensive damage or uncontrollable populations, we use a variety of traps, some baited with peanut butter, to manage the situation effectively.

Rats, accounting for 40 percent of mammal species with over 2,230 identified species, are known for their adaptability, making them one of the most common creatures on the planet. Their large numbers lead to frequent interactions with humans, often causing disruptions in daily life due to property invasions. Despite their small size, these creatures pose significant health risks to humans through their droppings, urine, and fur. A single mouse can produce between 40 to 100 droppings per year, while rat bites can lead to severe diseases if not treated. The presence of mice or rats can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. Due to the numerous health concerns associated with rodent infestations, professional rat control is essential. Our experienced team at The Local Guys – Pest Control Services specialises in providing top-notch pest control solutions to address such issues promptly.
