The two species
Roof rat (black rat): slender, tail longer than the body, big ears, a superb climber. Lives in roof voids, palm trees and wall cavities. This is the one you hear at night.
Norway rat (brown rat): heavier, blunt-nosed, tail shorter than the body. Burrows. Found in subfloors, drains, compost heaps and commercial waste areas.
Control that lasts
Baiting alone is a treadmill. We combine tamper-resistant lockable baiting with a proofing schedule that closes the entry points, and advice on the food and harbourage keeping them there. See our rodent inspection service.
Pets and children
All external bait is placed in lockable, tamper-resistant stations, secured and mapped. Ask us about non-toxic trapping programs if you'd rather no bait on site at all.
