8 Feb 2017 | By Bug Busters

How can we Help?

When a rodent moves into your Perth property, stolen food could be the least of your worries. If you don’t catch a rodent problem early enough, rats can cause serious damage to your home and the items inside it. If you’ve spotted signs of a rodent infestation this summer, it could be time to call your local experts for pest control in Perth to help rid your home of the troublesome pests!

Keep your property safe with Bug Busters’ comprehensive rodent control in Perth, addressing rats and mice effectively. Below are some of the most effective tips on how you can get rid of rodents in your Perth home.

Rodent Damage:

As well as creating a noise nuisance, rats can cause extensive damage to your Perth property once they’ve found their way inside your house. The rascal rodents have been known to chew through electrical wires and puncture pipes, causing household fires and floods as a result of their gnaw-ty antics. In addition to housing pests like lice and fleas in their fur, feral rats can also carry diseases such as rat bite fever and leptospirosis, meaning they could cause some serious contamination if they get their claws on your food!

At-home Rodent Control Methods:

As with most pest infestations, the easiest way to avoid a rodent problem is to prevent rats from entering your property in the first place! You can reduce the chances of a rodent infestation in your Perth home by taking some of the following steps:

  • Seal up entry points: Rats are experts climbers and can squeeze into your house through the smallest of spaces. Fixing any holes or cracks in the walls of your property will prevent rodents from moving in without invitation.
  • Keep it clean: Cleaning up food waste and other debris will remove any potential food sources, making your home far less appealing to any rodents considering making an unwelcome entry.
  • Maintain a tidy garden: By keeping your garden clear of wood piles, tree cuttings and other potential shelters, you reduce the chances of rodents setting up home near your property.
  • Repair damaged pipes: Rats like to nest near a ready supply of water, so you need to make sure you fix any damaged drains before you’re left with an unwanted infestation!

We had an appointment scheduled very quickly and easily with Bug Busters. Aaron was on time and a true professional. He was knowledgable, open, and explained the whole process easily and clearly. Gave us a guarantee that our problems would be solved and if there were any future issues he would attend to them himself with the utmost expedience. Aaron was a real pleasure to work with and i feel significantly more comfortable after working with him. Would recommend their services to anyone who needed them.

I found the young man named Deryn who came to deal with our rodent problem to be extremely polite, personable and knowledgeable. He was on time and friendly and knew a lot about the behaviours of the rat species. I would highly recommend Bug busters and will definately them for future pest problems when they arise.

Bugbusters installed termite traps around my house and shed many years ago. Every 3 months the traps are inspected for any termite activity. At intervals the house, ceiling and shed are are checked for termites. They have also dealt with wasp infestations and put rat baits in the ceiling.. Their operatives have always been helpful and friendly. I would recommend Bugbusters to anyone.
