Most asked questions about Pest Control

FAQ
I've been using traditional mousetraps for years but they are scare my kids. Is the Tomcat Snaptrap a better option?

It certainly is! Easy to use and easy to set, this trap is safer around kids and pets versus conventional wooden traps. It kills effectively and has no-touch cleaning and disposal of its catch - a much better way to eradicate pesky mice.

FAQ
How often do I need to apply Defender Home Defense to the outside of my house to deter spiders?

While the label states the product remains effective for up to 9 months in protected areas, it is water soluble so may be readily washed off outdoor surfaces by rain and garden watering. If spiders occur in areas exposed to rainfall or irrigation, then you may need to re-apply on a regular basis (ie after rain or watering) to maintain protection.

FAQ
Can I use Tomcat blox around my chook pen to keep mice and rats away?

No, the poison (rodenticide) in Tomcat blox is an anti-coagulant that causes internal bleeding. Place baits in locations that are inaccessible to other animals and birds. This product is hazardous to pigs, cats, dogs, native wildlife and poultry, as well as humans. In the case of accidental poisoning, Vitamin K1 is a known antidote that can be administered by a veterinarian.
