Rodents: What are they and what do they do?

There are three types of rodents in which are commonly treated by TDC Pest Control, including rats, mice and squirrels. We have included some helpful tips on identifying the key signs that suggest you may have an infestation, and the steps you can take to ensure your domestic or commercial property is pest free in no time.

How can I tell if I have a rodent infestation?

Whether you’re worried about mice infesting your home, or you own a commercial property and suspect you may be experiencing a problem with rats, the thought of these rodents in your property can be unbearable. However, this problem can easily be resolved by TDC Pest Control. There are a few ways to confirm if you have rats or mice lurking in your premises, including:

• Shredded papers and materials
• Smear marks on any skirting boards
• A strong smell of urine in various areas of your property
• Noises at night, as rats and mice are nocturnal

Control & Treatment

Numerous techniques can be used to treat both rat and mice infestations, however this can be dependent on the following:

• The size or extent of the infestation
• The environment in which the rodents are inhabiting
• Domestic circumstances, such as children or domestic pets on site

It will take two visits from a pest controller to treat an infestation. The controller will need to attend the premises to assess the work that will be required, trapping squirrels or, in the case of rats of mice, using bait or sticky boards. Our controllers will give advice on preventing any further infestation, making sure that your pest problem is a thing of the past. On the second visit, our pest controllers will remove any baits, boards or traps used, as well as any remaining dead bodies.

TDC Pest Fact: One pair of mice can produce hundreds of offspring in a year.

Cockroaches: What are they and what do they do?

There are two types of cockroaches treated by our controllers:

German cockroaches are light brown in colour with a wing base, and are approximately 1.5cm in length. These types of cockroaches are usually found in warm, moist environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Oriental cockroaches are smooth with a black coloured body. They have no wing base and measure at approximately 2.5cm. Oriental cockroaches are often found in terraced housing, infecting entire blocks of properties as the move throughout the beams and rafters.

Although there are many differences in the two cockroaches that are treated by our controllers, infestation from them can be unsightly and should be treated efficiently by a pest control professional to ensure they do not return.

What is the difference between a German cockroach and an oriental cockroach?

German cockroaches have wings, although are smaller and a lot lighter in colour than oriental cockroaches. While German cockroaches are usually found in warm, moist environments such as kitchens and bathrooms, the oriental cockroach is often found in terraced housing, infesting entire blocks of properties as they move throughout the beams and rafters.

TDC Pest Tip: Rodents and cockroaches love clutter, so to make sure that pests have nowhere to infest in your home, remove unnecessary items and old furniture. Regularly dusting and vacuuming is additionally important.

Identifying a cockroach infestation

There are a few ways to tell if you have cockroaches lurking in your home, noting that the German cockroach has a body with a winged base and the oriental does not, it is important to understand that they can leave damage and infection in a household, with many German cockroaches often spotted in a warmer and more moist environment such as a bathroom, whereas the Oriental cockroach can often be seen moving throughout the beams and rafters in the household.
