Mice & Rats
Rodents look for shelter, food and easy access to protected areas around homes, sheds and other buildings.
Main risk
Nuisance
Signs to look for
Droppings or scratching noises around the property.
Damaged food packaging, gnaw marks or repeated sightings may also indicate rodent activity.
Check sheltered areas such as roof spaces, sheds and storage areas.
Where rodents hide
Rodents may settle in roof spaces, sheds, garages, storage areas and other places that provide shelter and easy access to food.
Why the problem can continue
Even after rodents are removed, easy entry points and access to food can allow new activity to develop. That makes property conditions an important part of managing the problem.
Reducing the risk
Store food securely, keep waste contained, reduce clutter and seal obvious openings where practical. If you notice activity around the property, Best Pest & Weed Solutions provides rodent control based on where it is occurring. View Rodent Control.
