The hidden costs of rat infestations
It’s not just what they eat; it’s what they ruin. A single rat can contaminate up to ten times the amount of food it actually eats through urine, droppings, and hair. An infestation of just 100 rats can eat through roughly 600kg of feed in six months, a direct hit to your profits. Beyond food loss, rats cause significant infrastructure damage by gnawing on electrical wires, a leading cause of "unexplained" barn fires. They can also cause thousands in repair costs to modern farm machinery. If you are dealing with an infestation that seems "immune" to bait, it’s likely you have a resistant population.
Your journey to a rat-free farm
Once you get in touch, our process is straightforward. First, we will discuss the specific problems you are having with rats on your premises. This initial consultation helps us understand the scope and nature of the infestation. Following this, we will arrange a visit to your premises to thoroughly assess the situation, identify key areas of activity, and develop a tailored, humane control strategy using our shooting methods.
