Rodents in your home = Something is being chewed! The question is what is it and where is it?

Ever wondered why rodents chew, damage and gnaw your property?

They have open rooted incisors (front teeth that keep growing) at the front of their mouth that they need to keep maintained. If they don't they may end up starving as chewing will become difficult. This is part of their daily habit.

Pestproof is on the move up the country... Nic has spent the start of the week in Whangarei dealing with birds, Soon we will have boots on the ground nationwide!

Rodent season is here and we've been seeing a lot of damage to pipes and plastics in the roof spaces lately.

If you need rodents removed from your property, call 0800 77 66 33 or send us a message. We're here to help!

• - A fact worth reading

A female rat can mate as many as 500 times with various males during a six-hour period of receptivity - a state she experiences about 15 times per year. Thus, a pair of brown rats can produce as many as 2,000 descendants in a year if left to breed unchecked. (A rat matures sexually at age three to four months.) An average rat's life span is two to three years.
