Rodent control usually combines identifying entry points, removing food and water sources, sealing gaps, and using suitable traps or bait. Store food in sealed containers, keep rubbish covered, clear clutter, and check areas such as wall cavities, roof spaces and under cupboards for droppings or gnaw marks. Poisons can harm children and pets, so follow the label carefully and consider a licensed pest controller for a safe inspection and treatment plan. If you rent, report the problem to your property manager, and seek medical advice if anyone is bitten or exposed to rodent waste.
