Rat Control

Pestec provides reduced risk pest control for rats through integrated pest management methods. Pestec only uses rodenticides as a last resort, preferring non-toxic methods for rat management. We believe the best methods for eliminating rat pest problems is through sanitation and exclusion. Our three part response provides effective pest management and operates as a collaborative effort between Pestec and our clients. Each of these three elements is essential for effective rat population management:

Pestec provides a three visit rat management service using innovative integrated pest management techniques. The three visit service will consist of an inspection and trapping. During the first visit our technicians will inspect our customer's property for evidence of rat activity inside and outside and develop a trapping plan for eliminating the rats. After one week, our technician will return to check the progress of the trapping plan, and remove or replace traps as necessary. Due to the neophobia of rats, a week is a neccesary amount of time to wait for trap inspection.

If after the first two initial visits the rat problem remains, a more robust trapping plan will be put in place, and our technicians will return for a third assurance visit to insure that a rat population has been eliminated. Rarely is a fourth visit necessary.

With our three visit rat management service, Pestec provides our customers with a report including our inspection notes, the effectiveness of our trapping plan, and a list of recommended structural repairs, habitat modifications and sanitation measures. This report will also include an estimate for these modifications, which are necessary for rat-proofing our customers property and building.

By not using rodent poisons Pestec prevents the potential for secondary poisoning of non-target species such as predatory birds or pets. This is a must for our partners such as the City of Brisbane and their gopher and rodent catching friends. For more information on secondary poisoning and the risk to our predatory friends please visit the Hungry Owl Project.
