They can also make burrows outside in the dirt ( Norway Rats) the burrows are normally 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 meters in the ground in area's where there is protective vegetation. They also can leave behind rub marks which is combined dirt and oil from their skin that leaves a dirty rub mark against wall, entry holes and structures climbed on to gain access to your home, They generally tend to be active in several area's of the dwelling. They are usually active during the day and at night. Possums on the other hand sound like a baby elephant coming and going from your roof void, you will generally hear them at night as they are nocturnal and more confined to one area of the dwelling.   What forms of payment do you accept?

However, depending on the type of pest infestation a more frequent service period may be recommended to ensure your home is safe and protected.   What happens if it is raining? If there is only slight rain on the day, the service can be carried out as normal as the rain helps the products soak into the affected areas. However, if there is a heavy downpour of rain, our Zeropest Australia Pest technician will service the inside the home or business first, hopefully the rain will have stopped during this time. If the rain has not subsided we will reschedule the outside works for another day at your convenience.   Why am I seeing more pests after my treatment? Initially, you may see an increase in pest activity after a treatment as they are flushed out immediately post-treatment, this applies to spiders, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, rodents and more.
