Rodent Control Melbourne|Rat And Mice Control

Our rodent treatment starts from $179, which covers the inspection and baiting or trapping through the roof void, subfloor and perimeter. Treatment plus proofing – the option that actually ends the problem – starts from $449 with a 12-month warranty on the seal. Melbourne rates generally run $180 to $330 for treatment alone and up to $1,200 for a heavy infestation, so compare what is included before comparing the number.

Seal the way in. Rodent control has two halves and only one of them is the treatment. Bait or traps clear the current population; sealing the weep holes, vents, pipe penetrations, eaves and door gaps is what stops the next one moving in. A quote that prices only the first half is quoting you half a job.

We use tamper-resistant stations placed where children and pets cannot reach them, and we will tell you where each one is. Where the risk is real – homes with dogs that dig, food premises, or a roof void where a carcass could not be retrieved – we use trapping instead. Tell us about pets when you book and the technician plans around them.

Because a poisoned rodent dies in its nest, usually inside a wall cavity or under insulation. The smell peaks at seven to ten days and flies at one window are the giveaway. It is a predictable consequence of baiting, which is exactly why we trap instead in places where we could not retrieve a carcass. If it does happen, our dead rodent removal is from $149.

Droppings are the quickest test. Mouse droppings are 3-6mm and look like dark rice grains. Rat droppings are 12-20mm – pointed at the ends for a roof rat, blunt for a Norway rat. The sound differs too: mice are light and constant, rats are heavier and you can hear direction changes.

You will usually notice a drop in activity within a few days and it is typically resolved inside two weeks. Mice tend to go faster than rats because they feed at many points. If activity is unchanged after two weeks, something is wrong with the placement and we come back.

Yes. Rodent incisors grow continuously so they gnaw to wear them down, and cable sheathing is a convenient hardness. It is one of the genuine reasons not to leave a roof-void infestation alone – not a scare line invented to sell a treatment.

Yes. Cafes, restaurants, warehouses and food manufacturers get a documented program – station map, service records and reporting an auditor will accept. In food premises we lean on trapping and proofing rather than poison, because a carcass in the wrong place is a bigger compliance problem than the rodent was.

Yes – all of metro Melbourne, from the CBD out through the northern, eastern, southern, bayside and western suburbs, with no travel surcharge.

Autumn, as the temperature drops and rodents move indoors looking for warmth, and again in spring as populations rebuild. Late March through winter is our busiest rodent period, so book proofing before autumn if you have had them before.
