Responsible Rodent Control for Homes & Gardens
As temperatures drop, rodents start looking for warmth — and your home, garage, or shed might seem perfect.
The goal isn’t just to remove pests, but to manage them responsibly, protecting your property without harming other wildlife.
Here’s how to do it right.
1. Prevention Is Always the Best Control
Before reaching for bait, make sure you’ve closed off entry points:
-
Seal cracks, vents, and gaps around pipes.
-
Keep compost heaps covered and tidy.
-
Store bird food and pet feed in sealed containers.
A few simple changes drastically reduce the chance of rodents nesting.
2. Choose the Right Product for the Job
Not all control products are created equal.
Our D-Bug range and Vertox25 Rodent Solutions offer targeted baits and traps designed for professional performance with minimal impact.
Use tamper-proof bait boxes outdoors.
Always follow usage instructions.
Avoid leaving exposed bait — it’s unsafe for pets and wildlife.
Responsible control means protecting your space without disturbing nature’s balance.
3. Maintain, Don’t Overuse
Check traps regularly and replace lures or baits as recommended.
Overuse won’t solve the problem faster — but good placement and consistency will.
Once rodent activity stops, remove unused bait and clean traps for future use.
4. Think Long-Term Prevention
After clearing an infestation, keep your home and garden uninviting for pests:
-
Trim back vegetation touching walls.
-
Avoid leaving food or seed on the ground.
-
Keep a routine of checking sheds, compost, and stored items.
By staying proactive, you reduce the need for stronger treatments later.
