Treatment for rats and mice

The technician on arrival will inspect your property for rodent activity. Looking for entry points, food sources and nesting areas. The technician will lay poison baits that are cereal based. The poison baits contain an anticoagulant poison called Sakarat or Sorex Brodifacoum Rat and Mouse Bait. These poisons usually require that the rats or mice feed several times before dying or if they consume enough poison to give them a lethal dose on their first feed they will not suffer any ill effects until some time after this feeding. This ensures that they do not become suspicious and associate the bait with illness or death and a ‘complete kill’ takes place killing all the rats in the colony.
