Step 1: The Rodent Inspection Process
A successful rodent treatment always begins with a thorough inspection. Our trained pest control technicians check for:
Rodent droppings:
Found near garbage bins, on the roof, or behind storage areas.
- Rat droppings are bigger with blunt ends.
- Mouse droppings are smaller with pointy ends.
Rodent activity zones:
These pests love dark, stuffy places like roof cavities, corners, garden beds, or under appliances.
Entry points & damage:
We look for signs like gnaw marks on wood, damaged corners of cupboards or cornices, and holes in walls or floors.
Food and water sources:
Open pet food containers, leaking pipes, or exposed garbage bins all attract rodents.
Why this matters: Identifying where and how rodents are getting in — and where they’re nesting — helps us apply treatment effectively.

Step 2: Our Rodent Treatment Plan
Our rodent control treatment includes a 3-part approach, using safe, targeted baiting and follow-up services.
1. Ceiling Baiting
We place tamper-resistant wax bait blocks in the ceiling at key hotspots where rodent signs were found. This method is discreet, effective, and designed to avoid any contamination of your living areas.
2. Outdoor Bait Stations
We install lockable, child- and pet-safe bait stations in key outdoor locations:
- Behind flower beds or shrubs
- Near gutters or pool pumps
- Close to areas where pets are fed
These stations are secure and designed to attract rodents without disturbing your household.
3. Follow-Up Service
After the bait has had time to work, we return to:
- Refill bait stations (if needed)
- Check for rodent activity in the ceiling
- Remove any dead rodents according to health bylaws
Safety First: Our Promise to You
We care about your safety, your pets, and the environment.
Our bait contains a registered anticoagulant approved for both homes and businesses.
We use PPE and double-bagging for any rodent carcass removals, following proper health and sanitation rules.
Baits are always placed in a way that limits exposure to pets and non-target wildlife.
Important Client Guidelines
You may still hear rodent activity for 2–4 days as the bait begins to work — this is entirely normal.
Seal all pet food containers to avoid attracting new pests.
Do not open bait stations or touch ceiling bait without speaking to a technician.
