Do you need Rats or Mice Exterminated in Hereford?


As the dark nights draw in and the temperature started to decline, we’re turning our attention to rodents. Yes, this week we’re looking at rats and mice.


At this time of the year, we see a rapid increase in Rat and Mice call outs as Rodents like the warm just like us humans.

Herefordshire residents should take the time now to pest proof their homes and businesses from Rats and Mice (and other pests for that matter) this Winter. This is particularly critical in 2020 as a national Covid lockdown starts. Householders can put steps in place to try and avoid a rat or mouse infestation. Call us today for help and advice, we are here for you, we are local and family owned, 01981 241 334. Rats and Mice are adaptable, highly mobile and breed rapidly, this combination can make rodent control a difficult task for the untrained individual. For any Rodent infestation, we would always recommend contacting a professional pest control company. We are trained in Rodent control and will have access to a range of professional use rodenticides which are not available to the public.



WHY PEST PROOFING IS ESSENTIAL

  • Cost effective means of pest control

  • Reduces the risk to non-target species & protects our wildlife

  • Reduced impact on the Environment from use of chemicals keeping our planet clean

  • Easier to identify and treat a pest problem before it becomes a significant infestation as pest infestations can quickly become established.



RATS - What you should be looking out for

  • NOISES – Scratching and crawling and gnawing

  • MESS – Dropping which are spindle shaped and blunt around 1-2 cm long

  • SMELLS - Rats have a strong, distinctive, musty and unpleasant urine odour

  • EVIDENCE – Burrows, runways, scratch marks and nests are signs of rats as are rats themselves!



MICE – What you should be looking out for

  • NOISES – Scratching and gnawing

  • MESS – Droppings which are thin and spindle shaped Around ½1-2 cm long

  • EVIDENCE – Nests, gnaw marks, dark grey smears left by oily fur

  • SIGHT - Mice breed rapidly so once you’ve seen one mouse you can be sure you’ll have a large family of them very soon if you don’t deal with the problem.

If you’ve been hearing scratching or gnawing or other noises that go bump in the night in your kitchen, loft or attic, cellar or anywhere else don’t panic. Call in the professionals.
