Rats and mice are a potential health risk. They are disgusting creatures with few, if any, redeeming features. They are fast and have scaly tails. They eat our waste food and that of animals and livestock, they also contaminate areas with their urine and droppings.
Obviously, some degree of control is needed to ensure that such damage and contamination does not occur.
It is necessary to have knowledge of teh two species before any attempt to control them is made, therefore professional rodent control is essential in order to obtain the desired result.
As both rats and mice need controlling, Rodent Service can offer a range of systems to provide adequate protection against pests entering your building, or infesting your land and stored products.
