Real Jobs. Real Results.
Our licensed team handles every job from inspection through to sealing. Here’s a look at us in action across Melbourne homes and businesses.
We Remove All Rodent Species Found in Melbourne
Each species needs a different treatment plan. Our licensed technicians identify the rodent type first — then apply the right solution.
Norway Rat (Rattus norvegicus)
The largest rat you’ll find in Melbourne homes. Norway rats burrow under foundations and slabs, chew through pipes and electrical cables, and breed at alarming speed — one pair can produce up to 2,000 offspring in a year. They carry Leptospirosis, Salmonella, and other serious pathogens.
Roof Rat (Rattus rattus)
Roof rats are agile climbers that nest in roof voids, insulation, and wall cavities. The scratching you hear in your ceiling at night? Almost certainly a roof rat. They gnaw through electrical wiring — a direct fire risk — and contaminate roof insulation with urine and droppings.
House Mouse (Mus musculus)
House mice can squeeze through a gap the size of a 5-cent coin. They contaminate food, trigger asthma attacks, and multiply from 2 mice to over 200 within months. A single mouse leaves up to 80 droppings per night across your kitchen surfaces and food preparation areas.
Complete Rodent Control — Inspect, Treat, Proof & Clean
We don’t just kill rodents — we eliminate the infestation, seal the entry points, and clean up what they left behind.
01
Inspection & Detection
Full audit of your roof void, subfloor, wall cavities, and perimeter. We locate every harborage point, active run path, and entry hole before any treatment begins. No guessing — evidence-based diagnosis.
Extermination Treatment
APVMA-approved rodenticides, tamper-resistant bait stations, and snap traps placed using strict child and pet safe protocols. The right product for the right species — no blanket spraying, no shortcuts.
03
Entry Point Sealing
Every gap, crack, and opening sealed with steel mesh, wire wool, and commercial-grade sealant. This is what separates a permanent fix from a temporary one. All sealing work backed by a written guarantee.
04
Carcass Removal & Sanitation
Dead rodents inside walls release toxic gases and attract blowflies and secondary pests. We locate and safely remove carcasses from hard-to-reach cavities and treat affected areas with hospital-grade disinfectant.
5 Signs You Have a Rodent Infestation
By the time you see one rodent, you likely have dozens. Rodents are nocturnal and stay hidden. Watch for these warning signs and act quickly.
- Droppings — Dark pellets near food sources, along skirting boards, or inside drawers and cupboards
- Gnaw marks — On food packaging, electrical wiring, timber joists, or plastic pipes
- Scratching sounds at night — Particularly in roof cavities, wall voids, or under floorboards
- Greasy smear marks — Dark rub marks along walls and skirting boards from their oily fur
- Nesting material — Shredded paper, insulation, or fabric in dark corners, behind appliances
- Strong ammonia odour — Pungent smell from concentrated urine in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces
- Agitated pets — Dogs and cats detect rodents long before humans do — unusual scratching or staring at walls
Rodents in Melbourne Carry
Diseases That Can Kill
Rats and mice contaminate surfaces, food, and air with bacteria and viruses. Melbourne’s growing rodent population — reaching record numbers in recent years — means the health risk is real and increasing. Don’t treat it as a minor inconvenience.
5 Diseases Rodents Spread in Melbourne Homes
These aren’t rare tropical diseases. All five can be contracted in a normal Melbourne home — and some are fatal if left untreated.
Hantavirus
Transmitted through contact with infected rodent droppings, urine, or saliva — including airborne particles released when droppings are disturbed. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome has a mortality rate of up to 36%. Never sweep rodent droppings without professional PPE.
Leptospirosis
Spread through rat urine contaminating water, soil, and surfaces. Advanced cases — called Weil’s Disease — cause severe kidney and liver failure. Risk is high near waterways, in flooded areas, and in homes with dogs. Melbourne’s inner-west and riverside suburbs are particularly affected.
Salmonella
A single mouse leaves up to 80 droppings per night across your kitchen. Rodents contaminate food preparation surfaces, packaging, and utensils with their droppings and urine. Salmonellosis causes severe gastroenteritis — especially dangerous for young children and elderly people.
Rat Bite Fever
Caused by bacteria in rat saliva — transmitted through bites, scratches, or even touching a dead rodent. Symptoms include high fever, joint pain, and rash. Untreated, it can lead to endocarditis and meningitis. Children are at highest risk if rodents have access to living areas.
Asthma & Allergies
Rodent dander, urine proteins, and droppings are potent allergens. Studies link rodent allergen exposure directly to worsening childhood asthma and allergic rhinitis. If your family suffers from unexplained asthma flare-ups, a hidden rodent infestation may be the cause.
Don’t Wait for It to Get Worse
Every day of inaction means more droppings on your surfaces, more allergens in your air, and a larger infestation. Our team responds the same day.
