My apartment had a severe case of carpet moths and Tom’s Pest Control got rid of them in just one visit. I am so satisfied with their service and it is also very cost effective! They will be visiting again in 2 weeks to make sure all the moths and their eggs are gone, which is amazing! We were advised on how to ensure the pests don’t return. Will definitely be coming here to get my end of lease pest management done!

Rats and mice can be extremely damaging. They will eat almost anything, including your walls, wires and fabrics of your home or business and can cause enormous structural damage over time. When these rodents are spotted in a business, particularly a food service company or accommodation facility, they can be highly damaging to your brand as well.
They can also carry diseases that pose health risks to your family and pets. Beyond the damage they can cause, rodents are known for creating a mess with their droppings and urine, which can contaminate food and spread unpleasant odours. As an experienced rodent exterminator, TPC offers quick, safe, and stress-free solutions. Our rat and mouse control methods are proven to get you the results expected.
How to Detect Rodents Early
If you want to know if rodents are hiding in your home or commercial property, you can look at some obvious signs. First, keep an eye out for droppings. Rodent droppings are often small, dark, and rod-shaped. You might find them in corners, along skirting boards, or near food sources. Another sign is gnawing marks. Rodents love to chew on things, so look for gnawed wires, furniture, or even wooden structures.
Grease marks and smudge marks can also indicate a rodent problem. Rodents often leave greasy smudges along their pathways, especially if they are regularly running along the same routes. These marks are caused by the oils from their fur rubbing off on surfaces.
Don’t ignore any unusual musky or musty smells. Rodents also leave behind a distinctive odour, which can be quite strong if the infestation is large. Finding burrows or nests in hidden or undisturbed areas is another clear sign.
Listening closely can also help; if you hear scurrying sounds, squeaks, or scratching noises coming from inside walls or ceilings, it could mean rodents are active.
Prevention Tactics to Keep Rodents Away
Mouse and rat control is all about making your home and garden less inviting to these pests. Make sure to clean up any garden waste or unused materials lying around your yard and sheds. Rodents love to hide in piles of leaves or old equipment, so keeping these areas tidy can help avoid them.
Mice and rats can squeeze through small openings; this calls for the need to close any cracks in walls and areas around doors and windows. Pay special attention to potential entry points around your buildings.
Rodents are also drawn to accessible food sources, so if you have bird feeders, store their feed in airtight containers. Pay attention to your pet food, too. Keep pet food dishes clean and store any bulk supplies in containers that rodents can’t chew through.
Ensure your rubbish and compost bins are in good condition. Rodents can easily make a mess of bins with holes, which is why keeping your bins well-maintained and free from any gaps is important.
Reliable Rat and Mouse Pest Control
Treatment
We know how troublesome a rat or mouse problem can be. To remove the infestation, we use different methods, including trapping, rodenticides, and fumigation. If the need be, we may use a combination of these treatments to address the problem.
With TPC, you can trust that your home or office is in good hands. Once you hand over the responsibility of rodent removal to our expert rat and mouse exterminators, you can sit back and relax.
