Professional rat & mouse control in Brackenfell starts with an inspection, continues with a targeted treatment and ends with practical advice so the problem doesn't return.
Rats and mice chew through wiring, insulation and stored food, contaminate surfaces and can spread disease. In the Western Cape they move indoors in numbers when the winter rains arrive, and they are a year-round problem around restaurants, refuse areas and farm stores.
Why is it a problem in Brackenfell?
Brackenfell's growing suburbs, shopping centres and nearby farmland mean rodents and ants are common in homes and complexes.
Suburban gardens. Leafy gardens in Brackenfell are great for families and pets, but also for ants, spiders and rodents. Overhanging trees give rats a route into the roof, and dogs bring fleas and ticks inside from the lawn.
Signs to look out for
- Scratching or running noises in the ceiling at night
- Droppings along walls, in cupboards or in the roof space
- Gnaw marks on wiring, pipes, doors or food packaging
- Dark grease smudges along regular runways
