Some people may think Rodents such as Rats and Mice are cute to keep as pets. They may be playful and intelligent creatures, the problem with this is that they carry disease and pathogens.

Rats in Pretoria

Here in Pretoria the Rodent Control Pretoria team of experts identify two species of Rats that plague the home and spread disease to many. These two species are namely the Black Rat and the Brown Rat.

Black Rats are also known as Roof Rats they often frequent roofs, they are agile and climb trees to gain access. Brown Rats, affectionately know as sewer rats are the bigger of the two and mostly frequent tunnels under ground. Both these Rats can climb however the smaller more slender Black Rats are more prone to Roof Infestation.

The average House Mouse feeds mainly on Insects and scraps of food left over from last night, they are commonly attracted to houses by pet foods.
