Why rodents must go
Here are a few reasons why rodents in your home or workplace are a serious issue.

- The allergens rodents carry can be a trigger to asthma sufferers.
- Rodent droppings and urine can contaminate food and damage clothing, furniture, books and other valuable documents.

Why rodent eradication is the best policy
Here are a few reasons why rodents are a serious threat to our precious New Zealand environment. Rodents will eat
- our endangered native birds’ eggs and chicks
- the seeds, fruit and seedlings of our native trees, removing food from our native birds
- native invertebrates including snails, beetles and stick insects
- native skinks and geckos.

What we do
The most successful solution for how to get rid of mice is a baiting strategy. If set up correctly, this overcomes all the natural rodent behaviours that make other mouse control methods less successful.
Our technician will complete a thorough inspection of your home, looking for potential access points, evidence of rodent activity and food sources that attract rats and mice.
Baits are secured in areas where there is evidence of activity. The baits are secured using wire and/or in lockable bait stations if accessible by children or pets. This also allows us to monitor the level of mouse activity if a return visit is required.
Our technicians will also offer advice on eliminating food sources that attract mice, as well as what the likely access points are into your home and how to seal them.

Safety
We make the security of our bait placements a high priority. If children or pets have potential access the bait, we will secure it in a high-quality lockable bait station. If bait is placed in inaccessible areas, we will wire it in place to ensure that rodents can’t drag it to new locations.
All bait we use contains Bitrex™. This makes the bait very bitter to the taste, discouraging eating.
If bait is accidentally consumed, an injection of Vitamin K1 will overcome any poisoning effects. The bait is not fast acting, you will have days rather than hours to react to any bait accidentally consumed.
What happens if my cat/dog eats a mouse that’s been poisoned?
Nothing. The risk of secondary poisoning is practically non-existent. The potency of the bait has been lost by the time poisoning effect on the mouse is noticeable.
