Why we do it

3 Great Reasons

  • Health Risks: Rats & Possums are known carriers of various diseases and pose significant health risks to humans. They can transmit diseases such as leptospirosis, hantavirus, salmonellosis, and rat-bite fever. These illnesses can be transmitted through direct contact with rats, their urine, droppings, or through contaminated food and water. By eliminating rats & possums, we can reduce the spread of these diseases and protect public health.
  • Property Damage: Rats are notorious for their ability to gnaw through various materials, including wood, plastic, and electrical wires. Their constant chewing can lead to significant damage to buildings, structures, and household items. Rats can cause fires by gnawing on electrical wires, posing a serious safety hazard. By getting rid of rats, we can prevent costly property damage and ensure the safety of our homes and infrastructure.
  • Ecological Impact: Rodents and possums are invasive species that can have detrimental effects on local ecosystems. When introduced to new environments, they can outcompete native species for food and habitat, leading to declines in biodiversity. Both rodents and possums are known to prey on birds, reptiles, and small mammals, contributing to the decline of vulnerable species in certain areas. By removing rats, we can help restore ecological balance and protect native wildlife.
    These reasons highlight the importance of rat & possum control to safeguard public health, prevent property damage, and preserve the delicate balance of ecosystems.

Lets work together...

If you have only one or two rodents, consider buying a trap and doing it yourself.
