How We Deal with Rats

At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we take a comprehensive and proven approach to rat pest control, designed to eliminate infestations quickly and prevent them from returning. Our licensed technicians are trained to tackle rat problems in homes, businesses, and industrial environments using safe, humane, and environmentally responsible methods.

Property Inspection

We begin with a detailed inspection of your property to:

  • Determine the size and scope of the infestation
  • Locate entry points, nesting areas, and food sources
  • Identify environmental conditions that attract rodents

This helps us create a targeted treatment plan that delivers fast and lasting results.

Rat Exclusion

We seal off access points to prevent new rats from entering your property. Our team will:

  • Repair holes and cracks in walls, roofs, vents, and foundations
  • Install rodent-proof barriers around key areas
  • Provide structural recommendations for long-term rodent exclusion

Trapping

We implement humane trapping techniques using:

  • Snap traps
  • Multi-catch traps
  • Enclosed live traps (where appropriate)

All traps are strategically placed and monitored regularly to maximise catch rates and minimise risk to non-target animals.

Targeted Baiting

In moderate to severe infestations, we may use tamper-proof bait stations containing professional-grade rodenticides that are:

  • Safe for use around pets and children when installed correctly
  • Highly effective at targeting rats in active areas
  • Placed in discreet locations based on rodent movement patterns

Sanitation & Clean-up Recommendations

After removing the rats, we offer practical guidance to reduce future risk, including:

  • Eliminating rodent attractants (e.g. open food or rubbish)
  • Cleaning up nesting materials and droppings
  • Improving overall site hygiene and waste storage

Rat Prevention Strategies

We advise clients on how to keep rats away with:

  • Proper food storage in sealed containers
  • Decluttering sheds, garages, and storage spaces
  • Regular inspections and maintenance around potential entry points
