As we head into the colder months pests are looking to visit for the warmth and shelter. One of the main problems will be rodents. Rats and mice love a nice warm house, shelter food and drink are the must have for a five star rodent holiday. but when dealing with these pests we must be caution not to harm the wildlife around us. Poisons are not the first choice and can be illegal if misused and cause harm.

Please feel free to contact Purple Pest for free advise if you suspect mice or rats in or around your house, business or farm.

Mice Although not unpleasant to look at, mice in or around a property – whether that is the home, industrial unit or other business premises – need to be dealt with. They can spread various bacteria that can impact on human health, as well as contaminating food sources of livestock.

Rats Unlike mice, rats are not seen as cute and with good reason; excreting a bacterium in their urine that, if it makes it way inside the human body can cause serious illness, rats are an issue that every home or business must deal with immediately. Naturally suspicious, they will avoid anything new in their territory thus a professional pest controller is best placed to deal with rats.
