TREATMENT METHODS

For low-population rat control, we use:

Sticky, scented boards that trap rodents will be placed around activity areas. Our best practices ensure that once caught, they are humanely disposed of thereafter. We protect non target animals from landing on the glueboards, by placing the boards in protective housing that encourages rodent entry but prevents kittens and stray dogs from stepping in the boards.

Discreet black boxes, containing a spring-activated device, traps and kills rodents instantly. We are also careful to use extra attractive food baits to ensure that our traps remain attractive to the rodents even when placed in areas that already have other sources of food.

External poison baiting targets outdoor rodent burrows that are the source for external species of rodents such as Norway Rats.

Our professional team of ORIGINators will be more than happy to advise you about how you can keep rats at bay or ensure your existing rat problem does not return with simple housekeeping tips.
