ROOF RATS
ROOF RAT EXTERMINATION AUCKLAND
The Roof Rat is the most common rat in Auckland. This as they thrive in a temperate environment. They are also called the Ship rat and the Black rat.
You can tell a roof rat, as their tail is longer than their body. They are very shy and will so anything to avoid you.
Mostly Roof rats live in the attic and access the roof line from trees that have grown too close to your home. However they can sometimes live under houses and uncommonly access the attic through your walls.
People often hear Roof rats but don't see them. Commonly they hear them running around in the attic space.
AUCKLAND ROOF RAT REMOVAL
The first thing we do is to ask you what has been happening. We listen to your experience and then ask a few salient questions. When we have the information we need we get on with the job. Please note we always seek out where the rats are nesting, trailing and accessing your home or business. For Roof rats this often means accessing the attic space and looking for the key areas we need to find. The controls we use to exterminate the rats will always exclude you, your family and your pets.
In 2016 we attended the NPMA meeting in the USA and completed Dr Bobby Corrigans RODENT ACADEMY course.

DOES DIY WORK FOR ROOF 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.
