A quick video to show you the difference between ground tamperproof boxes and wall tamperproof external boxes.
Due to the customer getting rat damage to their air-conditioning units
Which is extremely expensive to be repaired with an average down time of 2 weeks due to parts replacement. T
They called us in and a few other local companies to provide quotes and advice
On how to eradicate the problem and to ensure we keep all other none target wildlife free from any harm.
After winning the contract we decided to approach this by using AF ground boxes with none toxic rodent baits.
We want to ensure we are not targeting any mice or possibly squirrels. Even song birds can enter the boxes on the ground.
We then installed our wall mounted boxes which are designed to target rats as they have 2 tunnels at the bottom of our equipment for rats to climb up, this ensures no mice, squirrels or song birds can enter our system.
A rat would need to stand on its back legs to be able to climb up, due to the size of the tunnels this will ensure that squirrels and any other none target species are unable to get access to any traps or baits.
This will be checked weekly for the first 3 weeks, to give us all the required information on what wildlife is active around the area.
If we get low takes or instant kills over this period we can then reduce the amount of boxes to ensure we have the correct amount of traps required between visits.
The installation is for high activity to start the treatment, then this will be reduced accordingly.
The reason we are using none toxic blocks on the ground is because we want to ensure there is no wood mice activity.
Always think about the local wildlife before starting any treatments this is why we always start with an environmental risk assessment.
I agree the boxes do look a bit too large, but if this is what is required to do the job correctly then this is the route we take to ensure we are only going after the target pest, in this case its rats.
Any questions please get in touch, we can Taylor any systems to meet your requirements.
