Rat removal & rat control is crucial around waterways
Rats often frequent the shores of waterways. Rock walls can provide the perfect hiding spots for these pests.
They will scurry along the shoreline looking for the food that has been washed up. Rats are a massive problem around Sydney Harbour and the shoreline is dotted with rodent stations.
Buildings around the Harbour are in constant battle with these pests. There seems to be an endless supply of them coming out of sewers and stormwater drains.
Where do rats hide in homes?
Jim’s Pest Control technicians see rats hiding in numerous places. Often they hide in locations that clients least expect.
Most will like to live in roof voids and, in particular, the cavities in walls. This is a nice warm safe environment for them to raise their young.
Predators like foxes and cats are unable to gain access to these areas, so this allows them to breed up in vast numbers.
As every Jim’s Pest Control technician knows it is important to gain access to these areas to properly assess the situation.
Will a rat die in my roof after treatment?
Our pest treatments work by securing bait in the safe areas for these pests. This is typically done by wiring rodent baits in the roof void or placing out lockable bait stations.
Wiring of baits in a secured area is the most effective and quick way of getting rid of them. They will readily feed on the new food source because the baits have been designed to be very desirable to the species.
Typically when they feed on the bait they will want to get a drink of water straight after. They go outside seeking water, and whilst outside they will become disorientated and confused.
These confused and lethargic animals will most often die outside of your home.
Many Jim’s Pest Control client’s have reported seeing rats outside within a few days of a control treatment.
Did you know that they are shy, cautious creatures?
Rats really do not like something new in the environment. They have been known to walk around objects for weeks to avoid any conflict.
If lockable bait stations are used they may shy away from the new object in their environment. It can take up to a month for them to become comfortable with this new object.
