Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have rats or mice?
Dropping size, gnaw marks, tracks, noises and nesting locations help identify likely rodent activity. A site inspection confirms the risk and entry points.
Is bait safe for homes and businesses?
Technicians select and place tamper-resistant stations according to the site, occupants and safety requirements. Do not move or open them.
Why is proofing important?
Removing rodents without closing entry gaps can allow new animals to enter. Proofing and sanitation support longer-term control.
How many visits are required?
Visit frequency depends on activity, building conditions, access, sanitation and whether ongoing commercial monitoring is needed.
