When rat activity becomes severe, damage to wiring, insulation, and pantry goods can be extensive and expensive. The best results come from identifying the entry points early, confirming the nesting areas, and applying the right rodent treatment method for the site.
- ✓ Inspection First: We inspect accessible roof voids, subfloors, and external perimeters to look for signs of activity, droppings, and entry points like gaps in brickwork.
- ✓Targeted Treatment: Treatment varies depending on the species and population density. We explain options, such as tamper-resistant stations or exclusion work, clearly before any work begins.
- ✓Prevention Guidance: We provide practical steps to reduce re-infestation risk (sealing gaps, managing waste, removing fallen fruit, and monitoring).

Proactive Tips for a Rat-Free Property
Rats are opportunistic and look for easy access to food, water, and shelter. By addressing these factors, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of a rodent takeover:
- ✓ Eliminate food sources: Ensure bins are sealed tightly and avoid leaving pet food outdoors overnight to discourage scavenging.
- ✓Seal structural gaps: Check for holes around pipes, vents, and doors. Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as a 20-cent coin.
- ✓Clear garden debris: Remove piles of wood, old clippings, and thick ground cover where rodents can nest and hide from predators.
- ✓Trim overhanging branches: Keep trees cut back from the roofline to prevent "roof rats" from leaping onto your gutters and entering the ceiling.
- ✓Manage fallen fruit: Regularly clear fallen fruit or nuts from trees, as these provide a high-calorie diet that sustains large colonies.
Why Professional Rat & Rodent Control Matters?
Rats are resilient pests that can bypass basic traps and develop bait shyness. Professional rodent management in Melbourne ensures the entire colony is addressed, preventing the rapid breeding cycles that lead to re-infestation.
- ✓ Strategic elimination: We target the source of the colony rather than just individual pests to ensure total removal.
- ✓ Property protection: Professional exclusion work stops rodents from gnawing through electrical wiring and structural timber.
- ✓ Health & safety: Expert handling of baits and sanitisation of nesting areas reduces your family’s exposure to harmful pathogens.
