Mice and Rats
Mice and rats cause millions of dollars each year worth of damages. These pests eat food stock, but they also cause food contamination in both commercial and domestic premises.
These pests are a big problem in the food industry because they consume food stock, damage containers, and contaminate food preparation areas, leaving their feces and urine all over the place.
On top of these, rodents can gnaw on electrical wires and cause a fire.
Common rodent species in Australia are the roof rat, Norway rat, and the House mouse.
Cockroaches
In general, cockroaches, feed-in sewer drains, and garbage dumps threaten sanitation in your commercial property. Cockroaches thrive in dirty areas and can come in contact with contagious viruses.
Common Cockroach Species in Australia: Australian cockroach, German cockroach, the American cockroach and Smoky brown cockroach.

Pest Control Methods
There are plenty of devices and techniques on the market used by commercial pest exterminators. Not all tools available over-the-counter are 100% effective. It’s still best to consult professionals to ensure that your business complies with the strict Australian health and sanitation code.
Here are some common pest control tools.
Electronic Fly Killers
It uses UV light that attracts insects. When insects get close to the grill, it electrocutes them. An issue with this device is that the dying insect may spin around and scatter dead insect fragments. Dead insect fragments can fall on food or food handling surfaces, transmitting bacteria. That is not convenient for commercial usage.
Time Release Aerosols
Aerosol contains pyrethrin or synthetic pyrethroid insecticides. It is effective against flying insects, but only in smaller rooms.
Cockroach Bombs
Cockroach bombs release aerosols and an insect growth regulator, which breaks the lifecycle of insects. Cockroaches’ bombs are effective against flying insects. However, cockroach bombs may result in residual chemicals not recommended in commercial premises.
Electromagnetic And Ultrasonic Devices
Electric pest control tools are usually used to control rodents and insects. However, they are not so effective against these pests. Electromagnetic forces don’t repel rodents, and ultrasonic signals don’t penetrate surfaces.
