Fire starters - rats often cause fires buildings by gnawing through plastic electrical junction boxes. Rats must constantly gnaw on hard objects to cut back their constantly growing incisor teeth.
Severe health risks - rodents live in unsanitary places - are known carriers of serious diseases to humans from their droppings and incontinence - rats use urine trails to track their way in the dark. |

Rat pests - 2 main species - commonly found in domestic and commercial premises throughout Australia - the roof rat and the sewer rat. The correct identification is essential to formulate an effective rat extermination and control program - each species has different habits that can be exploited by the pest controller in order to solve the proiblem in a safe and effecient manner. Rats - unsanitary habitat - in drains - under concrete - in sub-floor - in garbage refuse areas - kitchens - roof voids and other areas where a potential food and moisture source is available. |

Rats to school holidays - homes near schools and colleges often experience an inflex of hungry rats during school holidays - the rats were previously feeding on food scraps left by students in the school yard or college grounds.
Shelter from the cold - rats and mice are more likely to become a serious problem during the cold winter months - much warmer in the subfloor or roof void of a building - rats may suddenly appear in large numbers when excavation work disturbs their in-ground nesting locations. Waterways rivers creeks and canals are high intensity rodent nesting sites. |

| Professional knowledge of the rodents habits is essential to eradicate a problem, for example, rats avoid bait touched by human hand - they have an acute sense of smell "cunning as a rat".
Pest control options - include sticky straps - mechanical traps - a chemical baiting program for severe cases or where a rapid solution is required. A rodent control baiting strategy utilises custom-made rodent bait station designed to protect the bait from human contact. Whereever possible the rodent bait dispensers are installed in areas which are from access by children and pets - for example - in a roof void and sealed sub-floor and/or storage rooms.
Rodent proofing - recommended preventive measure - all potential rodent entry points into the building be sealed to physically exclude rats and mice from entering the building. In some cases, this can be carried out by the home owner or a handy man. In more complicated commercial environments FUMAPEST offers a FREE inspection, quotation and specifications for proofing of your premises. Sanitation - housekeeping tips - both rats and mice pests thrive where food and water is readily available - we recommend all food stuffs be kept in sealed containers or rooms - similarly garbage and refuse should be stored in sealed plastic bags and garbage containers - water and food bowls should not be left in the open at night as this will encourage a rodent infestation in and around the building. |
