Pest Control Solutions for Home & Business
The first defence against a bandicoot rat entering your home or an infestation by them is to proof your home. Ensure there are no gaps around windows or doors that bandicoots can get through and if necessary fill these with bristle strip.
It is important not to attract bandicoot rats with food – store food in plastic or metal containers and regularly clean under cookers and fridges.
Outdoors, ensure household refuse is kept in closed bins, do not put meat into compost heaps and use squirrel-proof bird feeders.
If action is not taken to rid your home and/or garden of Bandicoot rats, they will soon take over! A wide range of DIY products are available in stores for dealing with bandicoot rats in low risk areas, but we recommend treatment by one of our service technicians for bandicoot rat activity in living areas of your home or close proximity to your home.
A wide range of products for amateur use including traps and rodenticidal killers (“poison”) are available from DIY stores, garden centres and grocery stores that can be used for a one off intrusion by a Bandicoot rat.
It is essential to follow the instructions carefully for safe and effective use. Traps are very powerful and should only be used in areas that children, pets and wildlife cannot reach.
While amateur DIY products are a cost effective way to control bandicoot rat problems in low risk areas, professional pest control is required for high risk areas, more established bandicoot colonies or where there is a repeated infestation.
