Frequently Asked Questions

How much does rodent pest control cost?

Pricing depends on property size and infestation level. Contact Trident Pest Control for a tailored quote.

How do I know if I have rats or mice?

Rats are larger with bigger droppings and gnaw marks, while mice are smaller and leave finer droppings and lighter damage.

Are rodent treatments safe for pets and children?

Yes. We use tamper-proof bait stations and follow strict safety procedures.

How long does rodent treatment take?

Initial treatment usually takes 30–90 minutes depending on property size and severity.

Will rodents come back after treatment?

They can return if entry points are not sealed or food sources remain available. Prevention is key.

Can rodents damage electrical wiring?

Yes. Rodents commonly chew wires, which can create fire hazards.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

You may have a rodent problem if you notice:

Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings
Droppings in cupboards, pantries, or along walls
Chewed food packaging
Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, or wiring
Greasy rub marks along walls or skirting boards
Nesting materials such as shredded paper or insulation
Unpleasant ammonia-like smells

Even seeing a single rodent during the day may indicate a larger infestation.

Why Rodents Are a Serious Problem

Rodents reproduce quickly and can cause extensive damage in a short period of time. A small infestation can grow rapidly if not treated professionally.

Rodents can cause:

Electrical fires from gnawed wiring
Contaminated food and surfaces
Spread of harmful bacteria and disease
Structural damage to walls and insulation
Strong odours from nesting and urine

Common diseases linked to rodents include Salmonella and Leptospirosis.

Because rodents are nocturnal and hide in wall cavities, roof spaces, and under floors, infestations are often more severe than they initially appear.

Our Rodent Pest Control Process

At Trident Pest Control, we use a structured approach to ensure effective and long-lasting rodent control.

1. Inspection & Assessment

We inspect your property to identify:

Rodent species

Entry points

Nesting locations

Food sources

Activity zones

Understanding rodent movement patterns is essential for effective treatment.

2. Strategic Baiting & Trapping

We install and apply targeted control measures, including:

Wasp Treatment

Tamper-proof bait stations

Rodenticide placement (where appropriate)

Mechanical traps in high-activity areas

Monitoring systems for ongoing activity

All treatments are placed safely to minimise risk to pets and non-target animals.

3. Entry Point Identification

Gaps in walls and flooring

Roof entry points

Pipe and cable entry areas

Ventilation openings

Door and garage gaps

Sealing entry points is essential for long-term prevention.

4. Follow-Up Recommendations

For larger infestations, follow-up visits may be recommended to ensure full eradication.

We also provide guidance on hygiene and prevention practices.

How to Prevent Rodents

While professional treatment is essential for active infestations, prevention helps reduce future risk:

Store food in sealed containers

Dispose of rubbish regularly

Keep bins tightly closed

Seal gaps and entry points

Avoid leaving pet food out overnight

Reduce clutter in storage areas

Maintain clean kitchen and pantry areas

Rodents only need a small entry point to access your property, so sealing is critical.
