What are the most common Rats & Mice found on New Zealand properties?

Rats and mice are some of the most common pests found in New Zealand homes and properties.

There are several types of rats and mice that are common in the country, including the house mouse, the ship rat, the Norwegian rat, and the kiore.

The house mouse is a small, greyish-brown rodent that is commonly found in homes and properties. They are known for their ability to fit into small spaces, and for their tendency to nest in warm and cozy areas.
The ship rat, also known as the black rat, is a larger type of rat that is commonly found in ports and coastal areas. They are known for their ability to climb, and for their love of gnawing on wood, plastic, and other materials.
The Norwegian rat, also known as the brown rat, is a large and robust rodent that is common in urban areas. They are known for their burrowing habits, and for their tendency to gnaw on electrical cables and other objects.
The kiore is a small, brownish-black rat that is native to New Zealand. They are known for their impact on native wildlife and for their tendency to gnaw on wooden structures and homes.

These are some of the most common types of rats and mice found in New Zealand, and each presents a unique challenge for property owners.

What can I do to keep Rats & Mice at bay?

Rats and mice can be real pests in your home or business. They’re known to gnaw on electrical wiring, causing fires, and to nibble on food supplies, leading to contamination. To help keep these furry critters at bay, try these tips:

Seal up cracks and holes around the building’s foundation and exterior.
Store food in containers with tight-fitting lids.
Keep indoor and outdoor areas clean and free of clutter.
Use snap traps or live traps to catch any mice or rats that do find their way inside.

Where can Rats & Mice be found on my property?

Rats and mice are notorious for finding their way into properties, both inside and outside. These pests are always on the lookout for food, shelter, and warmth, and can easily squeeze through the smallest of gaps.

When it comes to indoor spaces, rats and mice often set up shop in the walls, attic, basement, or behind large appliances like refrigerators and washing machines. They can also be found in pantries, kitchens, and any other area that has food readily available.

Outdoors, rats and mice will often nest in burrows, piles of debris, or in overgrown vegetation. They can also find their way into sheds, garages, and other structures in search of food and shelter.

Knowing where to look for these pests can help you keep them out of your property and prevent them from causing damage. The key is to be vigilant, keep your property clean and tidy, and block up any potential entry points.
