Health Risks & Property Damage: Why You Need Professional Rat Control
Rats and mice aren’t just a nuisance. They carry harmful diseases such as Leptospirosis, Salmonellosis, and Hantavirus, which can spread through their droppings and urine. They also chew through electrical wires, wood, and insulation, creating fire hazards and costly repairs. Professional rodent control in Auckland ensures your home or workplace stays safe, hygienic, and pest-free.
If you already use our residential cleaning or commercial cleaning services, combining them with regular pest inspections can help prevent infestations before they start.
Identifying Common Rats in New Zealand
- Ship Rat (Rattus rattus): Agile climbers often found on roofs and attics. They have long tails and are skilled at finding food sources above ground.
- Norway Rat (Rattus norvegicus): Larger rats that prefer ground-level nesting, often in burrows or basements.
- House Mouse (Mus musculus): Smaller rodents that breed quickly and often infest kitchens or storage areas.
Signs You Have a Rat or Rodent Infestation
- Droppings: Dark, pellet-shaped droppings found near food or along walls.
- Scratching Noises: Often heard in walls or ceilings at night.
- Gnaw Marks: Visible on cables, plastic, and wooden surfaces.
- Nests: Made of paper, cloth, or insulation in hidden areas.
- Burrows: Found in gardens, under decks, or near sheds.
- Smudge Marks: Greasy tracks left along walls.
- Pet Behaviour: Dogs or cats may act agitated or focus on one area.
Targeted Pest Control That Works
When it comes to pests, a one-size-fits-all approach will not cut it. At Total Cleaning, our pest control services are designed to target each specific problem with precision, ensuring your home or business gets lasting protection the right way.
Cockroaches are a health hazard, contaminating food and spreading bacteria. We tackle infestations with targeted treatments that get rid of nests at the source while minimising disruption to your space.
Ants might seem small, but their colonies can cause major headaches. Our ant control plans locate and treat the heart of the infestation, preventing them from regrouping and returning.
Fleas are more than just a nuisance. They can cause serious discomfort for both humans and pets. Our flea treatments break the breeding cycle and sanitise the environment, giving you a safe, itch-free home.

Your Rat Control Questions Answered
How much does rat control cost in Auckland?
The cost depends on the size of your property, how severe the infestation is, and which treatment method is needed. Every situation is different, so we recommend getting in touch for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your needs.
Is your treatment safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Your family’s safety is always our top priority. We use secure bait stations and proven, eco-friendly methods that protect your loved ones and pets while effectively removing rodents.
How long does it take to get rid of rats?
Smaller infestations are usually resolved within one to two weeks. Larger or more established infestations may take longer, but our follow-up visits ensure that the problem is completely gone and doesn’t return.
What’s the difference between rats and mice?
Rats are larger with thicker tails and bigger droppings, while mice are smaller and more agile. Both can cause serious damage if left untreated, so it’s best to act quickly if you spot signs of either.
Do I need to leave my home?
In most cases, you won’t need to leave. Our treatments are safe and designed to cause minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Do you guarantee your service?
Yes, we stand by our work. All our rat pest control treatments come with a satisfaction guarantee to give you complete peace of mind.
Can I just use store-bought baits or traps?
While store-bought options may help temporarily, they rarely address the source of the problem. Our professional rodent pest control service identifies entry points and nesting areas to stop re-infestations for good.
