Hearing scratching in the roof or finding droppings in the kitchen? Bittn’s two-visit Rodent Control service uses inspection, strategic baiting and follow-up assessment to help reduce active rats and mice, then identify what may be bringing them in.
Rats and mice are fast, cautious and destructive. They can contaminate food, damage wiring (fire risk), chew through materials and hide in roof voids, garages, subfloors, wall spaces and stored items. By the time you hear scratching or find droppings, they may already have food, shelter and a way back in.
Bittn treats rodent problems with a structured two-visit service. We inspect for activity, identify likely food sources, nesting areas and entry points, place lockable bait stations strategically, then return within the following 30 days to assess bait consumption, rebait where required and check how the program is progressing.
About the problem
Rodents are well adapted to living around people. They look for food, water, warmth, shelter and easy access, which means homes can quickly become attractive if there are gaps, clutter, stored food, pet food, roof access or nearby vegetation.
They are also persistent. Rats and mice often move along the same travel paths, using walls, fences, pipes, rooflines and hidden spaces to stay protected while they search for food.
A smarter rodent treatment looks at both sides of the issue: reducing the active population and identifying the conditions that allowed rodents to settle in the first place.
Our approach
Bittn’s Rodent Control service is delivered as a two-visit program. The first visit focuses on inspection, activity assessment and strategic baiting. The second visit is used to review bait consumption, rebait where needed and confirm how the program is progressing.
Why it works better
Rodent control works best when it combines baiting, monitoring and prevention, not just a one-off placement of bait.
Long-term protection
Rodent treatment is designed to reduce the active population and help you understand what needs to change to prevent future activity.
Rodents will not usually leave on their own. Bittn’s two-visit Rodent Control service helps reduce active rats and mice, then checks the program is working.
Answers to common questions about rodent control.
No. Rodent Control is a standalone service because rats and mice require a specific inspection, baiting and follow-up program.
No. Bittn’s Rodent Control service is delivered as a two-visit package. The first visit includes inspection and strategic baiting. The second visit is completed within the following 30 days, usually 10 to 20 days later, to assess bait consumption, rebait where required and check how the program is progressing.
Your technician will install lockable bait stations carefully and provide clear safety instructions after service. Bait stations are placed in selected locations based on activity, access, site conditions and safety requirements.
Rats and mice behave differently, use different spaces and may require different bait, bait stations or placement strategies. Your technician will inspect the property and adjust the treatment approach based on the species and activity found.
Rodents often nest or travel through roof voids, wall spaces and other hidden areas. Baiting is designed to reduce the active population, although it can take time to take effect. If a carcass is accessible during the return visit, removal may be completed where appropriate.
This is rare, but it can happen. If odour becomes an issue, Bittn can upgrade the service to include odour elimination support where appropriate.
Baiting can take around 10 days to become effective. Some activity may continue during this period while rodents regain confidence in the area and begin feeding.
Store food in sealed containers, keep bins tightly closed, remove pet food and water where possible, trim branches away from the roofline and reduce clutter or stored items that may provide shelter.
