Rats in Auckland
Pest control rats, " you are never far from a rat" is closer to the truth than you think. Rat pest control in Auckland is a frequently provided service. People say I don't or see hear them, well that's just what they like. You are in fact as you read this, not very far from a rat. Under you in the storm water pipes, next to you in the walls, above you in the attic space and out there in the garden next to you compost bin.
Pest control rats in Auckland is sometimes urgently needed, as some of the types of rats are brave too. The Sewer rat is described as gregarious. Mistakenly they think you want to meet them. Given the right circumstances, they will march right into to your house. Sometimes as they are large (as a cat or small dog), it's a surprise that most people don't want to have in their home.
TYPES OF RATS IN AUCKLAND
- Roof Rat. These are the most common rat in Auckland. They live in ceiling spaces but can also be found under houses and in house walls.
- Sewer Rat. Also called the Norway rat and Brown rat. Poor climbers they are often found under houses, but do make an appearance inside a home from time to time. As their name suggests that are more at home under ground in burrows.
HOW DO YOU GET RID OF RATS?
ACES pest control bases our work on inspection. Once we understand how your pest rodents and your home or business goes together we form a plan. The plan will always exclude you, your family and your pets from the controls.
In 2016 we attended the NPMA meeting in the USA and completed Dr Bobby Corrigans RODENT ACADEMY course.
When using controls for rats we always exclude you, your family and your pets. This may include using the controls in an excluded area or in locked stations that only rats can access.

Times for rat extermination vary depending on the home or business. An average time for a home is 40 minutes including our inspection.
RAT CONTROL IS IT SAFE?
Before we do anything we access your situation through inspection. We then make sure that you, your family and pets are excluded from any control we use.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
We get a result within two weeks. Some professional grade baits products we use can last for many months ( if uneaten) inside locked stations. It is best to check stations every three months .
DOES DIY WORK FOR RATS?
We follow on from people that have tried DIY and it hasn't worked. One of the reasons is a lack of experience of the average punter. Without a trained eye they can not see the key areas that rats trust to place the controls. Secondly that rats are really smart and modify their approach for every house. Lastly the DIY controls are not very effective. The end result of these three factors is wasted money and no change to your rat issue.

Q: RATS: I CAN HEAR RATS IN MY CEILING SPACE, ARE THEY COMING FROM THE STREAM THAT RUNS NEAR MY PROPERTY?
A: NO! The rats near the stream are the sewer rats that are poor climbers. The noises in your ceiling are either from roof rats who are excellent climbers. Or mice who can sometimes be found in a ceiling space or birds, in particular in spring.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
"We had Godzilla sized rats thumping around in our ceiling at night. Aces were very prompt, informative, and managed to get control of the rats who had evidently taken up residence. They come highly recommended, I'm sure they will solve any pest problems with equal efficiency."
