Rodent Control & Removal Melbourne
We provide rodent control and removal services in Melbourne by a team of pest control and exterminator with over 10 years of experience. Rodents such as rats and mice don’t only pose serious health risks to people and pet, but can also cause consequential damages to the properties, and hence they need to be controlled and exterminated once and for all. There are over 60 species of rodents in Australia and these mammals are thriving due to their ability to eat different food and their short breeding cycle.

How Does The Infestation Work?
Rodent infestations typically start when rodents such as mice and rats are looking for new sources of food, water and shelters. They first will enter the buildings and homes through small openings, cracks, gaps in the walls, and other entry points to explore the area for food and water. They are particularly attracted to kitchens, pantries, and places where food is stored or discarded.
Once they establish themselves in the house, these rodents will build nests in hidden and undisturbed areas such as wall cavities, attics, basements, etc. using paper, fabric, and other materials. Rodents reproduce quickly, with mice capable of having litters of 6-8 young every 3 weeks and rats having litters of 5-10 young every 3-4 weeks. This rapid reproduction will soon lead to larger and larger infestations and before you know it, they’re all over your place.
Rodents contaminate food, surfaces, and areas with their droppings, urine, and hair, and they can spread diseases such as hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis. They will also destroy the buildings by biting surfaces, digging holes, and more. If left uncontrolled, they can pose a serious threat to the health of the people, pet and the building itself.
Elimination Tips
Although rats and mice look similar and are rodents, with rats being larger and heavier while mice have smaller slender bodies, the elimination tips for both are the same and below are some of the steps you can follow to do it yourself:
- Inspect your house for gaps and cracks and seal them properly using caulk, steel wool, or metal sheeting.
- Maintain cleanliness around the house by keeping food in airtight containers, clean up spills and crumbs, and regularly dispose of garbage.
- Set up traps such as snap traps, glue traps, or electronic along the rodent pathways or near the entry points. Make sure to use food baits to lure them out.
- Consider using peppermint oil, ammonia, or mothballs in areas where rodents are present to deter them.
