Rodent Control in Doncaster

As the weather turns colder, rodents will be looking for a winter home to see out the Winter. The usual intruders at this time of year are rats and mice, which can cause a plethora of problems if they gain access to our homes and businesses | Rodent Control in Doncaster

Due to their constantly growing robust incisor teeth they can chew through many types of materials such as wood, plaster and concrete. They also have a tendency to chew wires which can present a significant risk of fire.

They carry a number of pathogens that pose a threat to our health and well being. These include Weil’s disease, salmonellosis and rat bite fever to name a few.

They will contaminate food with their dropping and urine.

They cause fear in people and due to their nocturnal behaviour can cause people to have sleepless nights with their noisy gnawing and scuttling.

This is the time of year that we at Kestrel Pest Management receive most call in relation to rats and mice. Our philosophy on rat and mouse control is simple:

Carry out a full survey of the property to determine the species and what locations the rats or mice are using.
Initiate a control programme which involves laying baits and traps in locations that will optimise control but minimise risk to other people and animals.
Determine how the rat or mouse gained access to the property and proof as necessary.
Follow up to ensure the control programme is effective.

This comprehensive approach requires skill and experience to firstly seek out rodent signs and apply baits and traps that will effectively and safely eradicate the infestation.

If you require a rodent treatment or a winter rodent survey then call Kestrel Pest Management Doncaster to arrange an appointment. Even if it’s just advice your after, we’ll be only too happy to help.
