Guaranteed Rat-Free Home.

100% guarantee

Rats do not move in because a house is dirty. They move in because there is a way in and something to eat. Ship rats climb, so they come in at ground level and nest in the roof, and by the time you hear them overhead the nest is already established.

Your technician tells you what they found before they leave. Kids and pets are back in the house the same day. The follow up visit is in the price.

We 100% Guarantee it.

The pests Pro Pest Control treats, including cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, spiders, fleas, termites, silverfish, flies, mosquitoes, rats, mice, wasps and bees

Types of Rats in Auckland

Three live in New Zealand. Two of them end up in Auckland houses,

  • Ship rat, Rattus rattus

    Ship rat

    (Rattus rattus)

    The one in most Auckland roofs. It is the climber, so it gets in at ground level and travels up: fences, branches, downpipes and cables. Noise overhead at night is almost always this one.

  • Norway rat, Rattus norvegicus

    Norway rat

    (Rattus norvegicus)

    Bigger, heavier and a digger rather than a climber. It works the subfloor, the drains and the compost, so the signs are at ground level and outside before they are inside.

  • Kiore, Rattus exulans

    Kiore

    (Rattus exulans)

    The Pacific rat, and the one you almost certainly do not have. It arrived first and has been pushed out of the cities by the other two, so it is now mostly a bush and offshore island animal.

What Matters for Rat Control

Four things decide whether rats stay gone. None of them is the bait.

  • 01

    How they got in

    A rat fits through a gap the width of its skull. Finding and sealing the entry matters more than how much bait goes down, because bait alone leaves the door open for the next one.

  • 02

    The roof and the subfloor

    That is where they nest, not where you see them. Droppings in the pantry are the end of a run that starts somewhere you cannot see.

  • 03

    Where the bait goes

    Placement is the whole job: reachable by rats, not reachable by children, pets or anything we are not treating.

  • 04

    Coming back to check

    Rats avoid anything new for days, so the first visit rarely tells you the whole story. The follow up is in the price.

Other Treatments to Pair With Rats

These are worth dealing with on the same visit.

  • Fleas

    Fleas

    A rat nest carries its own fleas, and they go looking for a new host the week the rats are cleared. That is how a rat problem becomes a flea problem.

  • Mice

    Mice

    Different animal, same gaps and the same food. Finding one does not rule out the other, and the entry points usually overlap.

  • Cockroaches

    Cockroaches

    Both are drawn to the same subfloor, the same drains and the same food waste. If the conditions suit one they usually suit the other.
