Pest Control

If you’re hearing soft scratching in the ceiling, it’s probably rats or possums.

If you’re hearing soft thumping and moaning coming through the ceiling, it’s Antechinuses

🙂

Borrow a cat and put it in the ceiling. That’s what cats are for.

Your chickens are relevant. The feed attracts rodents, as does any half-composted material. Make sure you have a look around the yard – we found a huge mouse nest in our compost..which was right next to the chickens… Not a good look on our part. Fortunately for us the neighbourhood cat AND the chickens (I’m not kidding) polished them off.

Cockroaches Pest Control
The following methods are used for controlling cockroaches.
Smart Gel Treatment:
This unique gel is applied in the cockroach-infested areas and an odourless spray is also done to get rid of ants & spiders. This treatment takes 4 to 5 days to show results. There is no need to vacate any thing and this treatment is odourless. It takes approximately 45 minutes to do the gel treatment for a 2 BHK flat. This treatment is also carried out in companies, industrial canteens, restaurants etc. This treatment is only for cockroaches, red ants & spiders.

Termites Pest Control
Termites cause damage to all kind of woodwork, furniture, furnishings, clothing, stationary, rubber, plastic and even the lead coating of underground cables.
Chemical Measures:
Soil termiticide injection used for subterranean termites is the most common and effective treatment we use. Drilling of the foundation wall /slabs is done to stop & prevent the movement of termites from the ground. Holes are drilled along the junction of the floor and the wall at approx. 18 inches interval. The insecticide is then poured into these holes to soak the masonry. The woodwork in contact with the masonry in premises is particularly susceptible to termite infestation such as doors, window frames, wall panels, wardrobes, shelves, wooden cupboard, etc. Holes of diameter 12mm (1/2 inch approx.) are drilled towards the core of woodwork at a distance of 50mm (20 inch). Insecticide is then poured into these holes and they are covered with cement.

Bed Bugs Pest Control
Management of Bed Bugs:
For effective control of bed bugs we use specialized chemicals to treat beds and clothes. In case of wooden bed, oil based chemical spray and for clothes, water based chemical spray is used. In some cases where the infestation is more, the treatment has to be repeated within 15 days.

It’ll be rats, not mice. Mice are tiny. Anything bigger than 3cm long is a rat, folks.

Oh, and it seems that when the underclass have rats in their ceiling, they are rats.

Middle-class people like to think they have Antechinus!

Whoops forgot. The cage is great because you can see what you have. If they are not mice then you can relocate them.

Feathergirl is on the right track. No poison needed. You can buy wire mesh box traps with a hole in the top. Place some bread inside. Next morning it will be full of mice. Eventually you will catch them all. If you are squeamish you can take them down to the bus stop and let them go. If not, drop the cage in a bucket of water….empty the cage in plastic bag and bin it.

I found catch and release pointless. My local magpies wised up to what was in the cage. They would follow me and make short work of any I let go. Released in the middle of the yard, not one would make it. Saved the walk to the bus stop.

Being a faux Canberran you probably don’t have a smoker which is why you are experiencing this problem.

Chuck some talon up there.

They leave in search of water, then they die.

I used to have mice in my ceiling regularly. They didn’t work out how to open the trap door in the laundry and thus did not get into the house as such.
Every four weeks or so I’d have to climb in the ceiling, look for their droppings under the batts and feed them Ratsak throw packs.
I eventually got sick of going up there so I bought a Pest Exit Duo (plugs into 240 v) from Dick Smiths and hung it up in the rafters.
So far after about four months, I’ve heard one mouse up there and he didn’t hang around for longer than a day.
