The Problem
Rats and mice are a serious health and property risk in New Zealand homes and businesses. Norway rats, ship rats, and house mice contaminate food, spread diseases like leptospirosis and salmonella, gnaw through electrical wiring (fire risk), and cause structural damage. Rodent activity peaks in autumn and winter (April to August) as they seek warmth indoors.
Signs of Infestation
- Droppings along walls, in cupboards, or behind appliances
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood, or wiring
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in ceilings or walls at night
- Greasy rub marks along skirting boards and pipes
- Nesting material (shredded paper, fabric, insulation)
- Musty, ammonia-like smell in enclosed areas
