Rodent Control Gold Coast

Yes, rat and mice infestations are a problem many home & business owners throughout the Gold Coast and Northern NSW.

The Gold Coast is known for its beachy fitness culture, nightclub attractions and hot, semi tropical weather conditions and climate. However, the Gold Coast’s great weather conditions do not make its residents immune to rodent infestations. With our technicians sent out to treat rat & mice found in homes and businesses on a regular basis.

We treat many cases of rodent infestations throughout the Gold Coast daily. So, if you think you have a rat or mice problem, contact us today for an inspection!

Most of the time rats and mice will exit the place they have fed on the bait to seek water and safety. Usually they will head back to the safety of their nest. Sometimes rats will die inside the house.  Usually it’s inside your roof which unfortunately can create a nasty smell. In this case we can return to your home and remove the dead rat or mouse.

If you live in a densely populated neighbourhood or in an apartment complex, it may be wise to coordinate activities with neighbours, aimed at preventing infestations, such as cleaning up the area or changing the landscape.

A rule of thumb (or finger in this case) is that if you can fit your finger in the hole a rodent can squeeze through it and in the case of a mouse it’s as small as your little finger.  Blocking up holes may not always stop them completely but sealing up potential places of entry can be a big help. Things like wire wool are good to stick inside the holes that they may be getting in.

As with all other pets it is good to get into the habit of keeping your pet food bowls empty. Keep an eye on your pets while they’re feeding and if they don’t finish their food, pick it up.  Don’t leave it out for the rodents to find before you know it, you’ll be hearing them inside your roof.

We live in such a beautiful place in the world, there’s nothing better than feeding the birds and enjoying their beauty. But we should remember that the birds make a mess and it’s not only feathered friends who love to eat bread and bird seed.

SAYFER recommends using traps that are designed to attract the mice or rats and release them, a humane way to remove these pests from your property. If you are considering using a trapping device you need to be aware that under the Best Practices Act, these traps must be inspected and emptied daily.

Rodent snap traps are a way of quickly killing rats and mice and physically removing the dead rat or mouse. Snap traps are effective with minor infestations.

There are 3 types of rodents that infest buildings, businesses and homes. The different types of rodent are identified usually by the size and shape of the droppings and may respond differently to different types of management techniques.

A traditional way to treat rodents is with professional rodent poison bait. Rodents are clever and very cautious creatures.  At SAYFER we use a slower acting bait that takes a little longer for the bait to kill the rats or mice. This is to stop them becoming “bait shy”. If they find that the food (rodent bait) they are eating is making them sick they will stop feeding on the bait. This process is also the safer and more environmentally friendly option. The use of powerful single feeding anticoagulants has been replaced with less toxic safer alternatives.

No, with modern technologies and current chemical production methods, nothing needs to be moved prior to the pest control treatment, we have the right equipment and methods to work around everything in your home. In kitchen cupboards, we do not spray; we use a gel which is discretely placed within the cupboards.

With all of our pest management solutions, we offer a warranty which means that if we do not do the job properly, we will come back for free to fix the problem, we do not want this to happen, so our aim is to do it once and do it right.
