The Importance of Professional Rodent Removal: Don’t DIY

book a service

Rodents, such as rats and mice, may seem harmless; however, they can potentially cause serious damage to your home if they are not controlled quickly and effectively. At Carpets and Critters, we offer excellent pest management services to ensure your home stays clean and damage-free.

Razor-sharp teeth

We’ve all experienced, or heard of, damaged wires because of rodents – it’s not only annoying but it’ll cost a fair bit of money to sort out! Rodents such as rates are equipped with razor-sharp teeth.

Health issues

Rodents will often excrete and urinate in your home, increasing the risk of transmission of various harmful viruses and bacteria. If that’s not disgusting enough, harmful pathogens and bacteria carried by rodents can contaminate drinking water and food supplies, which is why you must deal with a rodent problem swiftly. Professional rodent removal services can detect early rodent problems, while also dealing with the problem quickly.

Looking after our taiao

New Zealand wildlife is at an increased risk of danger due to rodents, as native wildlife is forced to compete for food. Hiring a professional rodent removal service can help protect native wildlife and the overall environment to ensure it thrives.

We provide exceptional pest management services, but how do you know when it’s time to call a professional?

Damage to electrical wires and furniture and animal droppings are some of the most common signs that you have a rodent infestation in your home. Rodents commonly create nests in secluded areas of your home, so ensure you check for them if you spot signs of a rodent.

Unexplained smells, dirt, and strange sounds may also indicate that you have rodents living on your property. If you notice any of these signs, then it’s a good time to call a professional.

If you require professional pest management services, it is vital that you properly prepare your home before any rodent removal. To help you prepare, we have created a pre-pest control checklist to ensure the most effective treatment.

Rodents can pose huge threats to your home, which is why a professional pest management service is the best option for successfully eliminating the problem. At Carpets and Critters, we offer many different, high-quality services to ensure your home is in fantastic condition. Contact our friendly team today!
