An adult house mouse produces 50 to 100 droppings per day, each only 3 to 8mm long. A rat manages 40 to 50, each 12mm or longer, plus over 10 litres of urine a year. You can imagine what that does to the smell of your home. And they never move in alone.
Every winter across Whangarei and Northland, rats and mice head indoors into roof cavities, wall linings and under floors, and they’re especially common in the region’s rural and semi rural areas. Up there they chew electrical wiring (a genuine fire risk), damage plumbing, and gnaw the timber itself.
The scratching you hear at 2am is them making themselves at home.

Baiting is the most common method, the difference is knowing what to use and where. Our technicians know which active ingredients and formulations suit the situation, and we integrate trapping, exclusion and hygiene fixes depending on what the inspection turns up.
Every job starts with a site visit and a Rodent Control Site Plan. We supply and install tamper-proof bait stations that only the target pest can access - your kids, pets and the neighbourhood kererū stay safe while the rodents don’t.
Site survey and a Rodent Control Site Plan for your property.
Tamper-proof, weather-protected bait stations placed where they’ll work.
Exclusion and hygiene fixes to stop them getting back in.
How fast will I notice a difference
Normally a marked reduction in rodent activity within a week.
Is the bait safe around pets
Yes — stations are locked and tamper-proof, so only rodents can reach the bait.
Do I need ongoing service
Not always. Some jobs are one visit; established infestations may need monitoring. We'll tell you straight after the inspection.
