Mice are tiny creatures and they can easily pass through any little holes and can be found mostly on indoor places. First, check any open crevices and holes that mice could squeeze in. When you find an entryway, seal it with a wire mesh, steel wool or some other metal or wood that mice cannot gnaw on it.

Rodents Pest Guide

In Australia, there are 3 key species of rodents recognized:

• Norway rodent – rattus norvegicus – otherwise called the dark-coloured rat, sewer rat and wharf rat
• Roof rat – rattus rattus – also called the black rat and ship rat
• House mouse – mus musculus or mus domesticus

There are in fact approximately 60 indigenous species known in the country, and these natives such as bush rats and various mice are largely found in the backyard or in outdoor places.

Rodents are notorious germs and disease carriers as they can contaminate food and infest homes with their stool and urine. Their urine would also cause leptospirosis on people who went on the flood with wounds on their toes.

They are also capable of physical damage – as rodents gnaw constantly and from gnawing, they tend to trim their continuously growing teeth. They can gnaw on food containers, furniture and even electrical wires which could be vulnerable to short circuits and fires.

If you are encountering rodent infestation in your home and your surroundings, it’s ideal to bring in the assistance of pest management specialists.

Signs of Rodent Infestation

Suspecting a rodent infestation? Here are a couple of signs you can search for:

Live or dead rodents – this is one of the major signs, a sight of live rodent. If they’re dead, you may place one unless the corpse emits strong nasty smell since it is decaying.

Rodent droppings – you can see these in most dark regions of your home and environment, specifically in the loft and basement. Sometimes, they conceal under the sink, flooring or even in some closed furniture such as cabinets and drawers. Fresh rodent droppings are black, shiny and glistening, while if it’s old enough, they are grey in colour, dusty and crumbling.

Tracks – rodent tracks are sometimes hard to distinguish but they are easily found when you dust a few flour lightly over the ground or in places where you believe they are crawling. It is easy to detect it because footprints and tail marks are quite obvious.

Smear marks – these tracks are abandoned since there are hairs in it and bark smear marks are fatty and smelly. They can be found around entry points and indicate places which you will need to seal.

Gnaw marks – these marks are very simple to notice because it is a sure sign they are sneaking in your houses. The gnaw marks are small and they’re obviously found on materials like wood furniture or cardboard.

Noise – because most rodents are active at night, you can hear them squeaking and running along above the ceiling or inside your walls.

Urine and faecal odor and stains – rodent’s waste emit strong nasty odor, but for stains, they are able to rarely be observed with a naked eye except when you use UV lighting to locate them.
