  How much does pest control cost?

  There are many factors that determine the cost of pest control, which makes it impossible to give a fixed price for treating each pest in every situation.

  The price is determined by factors including:

  • Pest type
  • Extent of the infestation
  • Size and type of property
  • Treatments chosen
  • Number of treatments required to eliminate the pest
  • Service options chosen, such as monitoring and prevention services

  We will do an initial survey and present you with a quote and recommendations for your specific pest problem. We will discuss our recommendations and options with you for you to choose the services you want. See more details on our pest control costs page

  How do I get rid of rats and mice?

  Rats and mice need to be close to sources of food to survive, so removing food sources for these pests and preventing access to food will help get rid of them. For example, making sure garbage bins are closed and rodent proof and there is no litter from food containers accessible.

  Rats are clever and agile which gives them the ability to find any weak spot in a building to find shelter and food. A thorough building inspection is an important step to look for weak points. Seal holes in your property, even if they are very small as rats can get through a quarter-sized hole. Ensure vegetation (including trees) is not too close to your property as it can give shelter to pests and a route into your building if it is growing on or touching a wall, roof or cables.

  There are several types of device and treatments available for eliminating a population of rats, including:

  • Traps
  • Bait stations
  • Fumigation

  We can provide a free inspection of your property to assess the extent of a rat infestation and the potential entry points and recommend tailored treatments to eliminate the rats.
