Effective Pest Control: Mouse, Rat & Squirrel
At EcoCare Pest Management, we can help you control different rodents including mice, rats, squirrels, and more. Speak to our team for honest and professional advice or read our guide below on the key rodents we deal with.
Mouse Control
Problems Mice Cause: Mice can chew through wires, wood, and insulation. This can lead to structural damage and fire hazards. Mice can also contaminate food with their droppings and urine.
Mice Behaviours: Mice are nocturnal and curious. They are often found nesting in walls, attics, and small crevices. Mice will chew on anything to keep their teeth sharp, causing problems for homeowners and business owners alike.
Mice Risk Factors: Easy access to food and water can increase the likelihood of a mouse infestation. Cluttered areas can also draw them in, as mice have plenty of places to hide.
Signs of Mice: Droppings and gnaw marks are some of the most common signs, but you should also listen for the sound of scratching.
Problems Rats Cause: Rats can damage structures by gnawing through wood and electrical wiring. They can also spread diseases like leptospirosis and contaminate food.
Rat Behaviours: Rats are social creatures and tend to burrow or nest in dark and secluded areas.
Rat Risk Factors: Poor waste management and accessible food sources can attract rats, especially in urban areas.
Signs of Rats: Grease marks and gnaw marks are some of the most obvious signs. Shredded materials can also be a sign that rats are making nests in your property.
Rat Control
Squirrel Control
Problems Squirrels Cause: Squirrels can chew through wood and wires, causing significant damage to attics, roofs, and insulation. They can also invade gardens and bird feeders, causing problems for local birds.
Squirrel Behaviours: Squirrels tend to be active during the day, climbing trees and attics. They will also hoard food.
Squirrel Risk Factors: Open chimneys and overhanging tree branches offer easy access to squirrels to your property.
Signs of Squirrels: Scratching sounds, particularly in the attic, as well as nests made from twigs and leaves, can be signs of squirrels on your property.

Rodent Control FAQs
When am I more likely to notice rodents on my property?
The presence of rodents in your property is likely to occur all year round, but they are more noticeable in autumn and winter. This is because they will begin seeking shelter indoors as temperatures drop, and access to natural food sources becomes more limited.
What types of rodents can you deter or exterminate?
At EcoCare Pest Management, we work with you to deter or eliminate a variety of rodents from your property. This includes but is not limited to:
-
House and field mice
-
Norway, roof, and pack rats
-
Squirrels
What are the most common signs of a rodent infestation?
Common signs include droppings, gnaw marks on wood or wires, and nests made from either shredded materials or twigs and leaves. You may also hear scratching sounds in the walls or ceiling.
How do I know if I have mice or rats?
Mice are a lot smaller in size than rats. Finer droppings and smaller gnaw marks are usually a sign of mice on your property, although you are less likely to see the mice themselves. Rats are bolder and more aggressive, leaving more visible destruction and larger droppings.
What health risks do rodents pose?
Rodents can spread diseases such as hantavirus, salmonella and leptospirosis through their droppings, urine, and bites. They might also carry parasites such as ticks and fleas..
