Rat or Mouse? It matters! 🐀🐁 Their behaviour, habitat, feeding habits, and control methods differ, so knowing which pest you're dealing with ensures effective prevention.

1. Size: Rats are generally larger than mice - rats can be as long as your hand. ✋

2. Tail: Rats have long, hairless tails that aren't longer than their bodies, while mice are the opposite!

3. Colour: Mice are usually light grey or brown with a lighter belly, whereas rats tend to be brown or black all over.

4. Ears: Mice have larger ears relative to their head, and their eyes appear more prominent. Rats, on the other hand, have smaller ears and eyes in proportion to their size.

5. Droppings: You can also differentiate by size if you come across droppings. Mouse droppings are smaller and pointed, whereas rat droppings are larger and more blunt.

Every day is different for our pest control technicians, from tackling challenging infestations to advising customers on prevention measures. Here’s a sneak peek of life on the frontline.

We all know the saying "don't let the bed bugs bite," but if you actually saw one, would you know what it looks like?

The truth is, many people don't! Because they are so small and great at hiding, they are incredibly easy to miss or mistake for other bugs. Catching them early is the best way to protect your home, so we've put together a few images for you. Swipe through to see what to look out for.

Cleared out rodents only to find them back later? It is a common struggle. Rodents are persistent, and if a building offers the right conditions, new ones will follow.

Common reasons they reappear:

Hidden gaps: Unsealed paths around pipes, vents, or doors let new rodents slip inside easily. 🚪

Scent markings: Leftover pheromone trails guide new rodents straight to your property. 👃

Easy food: Open bins, pet bowls, and fallen garden fruit provide a steady food supply. 🍏

Shelter: Roof voids and wall cavities offer ideal warmth away from the weather. 📦

Professional management does more than basic retail traps by locating hidden entry paths. This supports your building's defence and helps manage recurring risks over the long term. 🛠️

Spotted a mouse running across the floor? It is easy to think it is just a lone intruder, but mice are rarely solo visitors. Seeing one is often the first sign of a larger population nesting nearby. 📉

Leaving a mouse issue unmanaged creates clear structural and health risks:

Fast breeding: A small handful can become a large population within weeks. 📈

Property damage: Their teeth grow constantly, leading them to chew through timber, insulation, and electrical wiring. 🔌⚠️

Contamination: They spoil food supplies and pantry surfaces with droppings. 🍏

While basic retail traps might catch an individual mouse, they do not resolve the root cause. A professional inspection helps locate nests hidden deep within wall cavities, providing a long-term management solution for your property. 🛠️

Managing rodent risks around commercial buildings requires targeted solutions for every part of your property. Rather than relying on a single approach, effective management uses specialised systems built for each specific environment.

Rentokil's connected PestConnect range ensures your business stays covered across both indoor and outdoor zones:

- Indoor Speciality with RADAR X: Engineered specifically for internal spaces like food processing, warehouses, and clean rooms. It provides automated, hygienic rodent management that responds instantly when activity is detected indoors. 🚪

- Outdoor Specialty with Dual AutoGate: Designed specifically for external perimeters. It acts as an intelligent barrier around your building, staying closed to protect non-target species until rodent activity triggers the system. 🌳

By combining purpose-built indoor and outdoor units, your site stays covered from the outer boundary right through to internal storage areas.

We're honoured to have received the Sustainability Award, Australia, at the FAOPMA Pest Summit 2026.

This recognition reflects the ongoing commitment of our teams, who continue to find practical ways to reduce our environmental impact while delivering the highest standards for our customers.

For us, sustainability isn't just a checklist. It's about doing business the right way, every day.

Some of the milestones we're proud to have achieved together include:
📉 Last year we reduced our carbon footprint by 21%
🌱 An 84% total reduction in our emissions over the last 7 years
⚡ A 75% reduction in utility in site-based power generation

Through our long-standing partnership with Rainforest Rescue, we're also proud to support vital ecosystem restoration projects. Together, we've helped protect 9 properties, restore 25,600 square metres of the Daintree Rainforest, and contribute to planting 23,866 trees, including 6,800 trees planted by our Ambius team.

While we're proud of this recognition, we know there's always more to do. Every step we take, from reducing emissions and expanding renewable energy to restoring rainforest habitats, helps build a more resilient future.

Thank you to FAOPMA for this honour, and to our incredible people whose commitment continues to make a real difference.

Drywood enter properties from above, making your rooflines and attics their primary targets.

Because they can live entirely within the wood they consume, without ever needing contact with the soil, an infestation can easily go unnoticed for years. Knowing what to look for is your first step in protecting your home.

Here are their most common entry points:
🔍 Small openings near eaves and rooflines
🔍 Attic vents
🔍 Cracks and gaps around doors and windows

Check out our infographic to see where they typically hide, and remember that our expert team is here if you need a professional assessment.

While local birds are a common sight, specific species cause real issues when they nest on commercial buildings. Pigeons, starlings, and gulls adapt quickly to urban environments. They often set up nests on roof peaks, solar panels, and ledges.

Leaving these nesting sites alone creates clear risks for your property:

• Acidic droppings: Bird waste causes long-term structural damage to stone, metal, and external paintwork. 🏛️
• Blocked gutters: Twigs and straw build up quickly, causing roof leaks and internal water damage. 🌧️
• Extra pests: Nests regularly introduce secondary insects like mites and fleas into the building. 🐜

Managing bird infestation requires a long-term strategy rather than quick fixes. Rentokil’s local teams assess your site layout to install non-harmful exclusion systems, including heavy-duty netting, ledge spikes, and tactile track deterrents. Securing these spaces early reduces the chance of property damage.
