Expert Rodent Control You Can Trust
Rats and mice are more than a nuisance — they gnaw electrical wiring, contaminate food and insulation, and reproduce rapidly inside roof voids and wall cavities.
Our rodent program combines proofing, strategic baiting and monitoring to remove the current population and stop new rodents from getting back in.

DIY spray vs a professional treatment
How we treat rats and mice
We use lockable, tamper-resistant bait stations (safe around kids and pets), snap-trapping where bait isn't suitable, and rodenticides only in controlled placements. Crucially, we find and seal entry points — gaps as small as a pencil for mice — and advise on proofing so rodents can't re-enter. Commercial sites get a mapped, documented program.
How to prevent rats and mice
- Seal gaps around pipes, vents and weep holes (mice need only 6mm)
- Store food and pet food in sealed containers
- Keep bins closed and remove yard food sources
- Trim vegetation and remove clutter against the house
- Fix roof and sub-floor access points before winter

Get a Free QuoteHow much does rodent control cost?
Rodent programs start from $89 with a fixed quote before work starts.
Will you find how they're getting in?
Yes — proofing entry points is a core part of every rodent program.
Are baits safe with pets around?
We use tamper-resistant, secured stations placed out of reach of children and pets.
How long until they're gone?
Most populations are controlled within 1–2 weeks with monitoring follow-up.
Do you remove dead rodents?
We advise on management and minimise odour risk through correct placement and follow-up.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, our rodent programs include a 6-month warranty.
How do I know if I have rats or mice?
Droppings size is the giveaway — rats leave 12–18mm droppings, mice 3–6mm. Rats are usually in the roof or sub-floor; mice nest in cupboards and wall cavities.
Is rodent bait safe around pets and children?
Yes — we use lockable, tamper-resistant stations that only rodents can access, placed out of reach, and can use trapping instead where preferred.
Why do rodents keep coming back?
Because the entry points are still open. Baiting alone isn't enough — sealing gaps and removing food and harbourage is what stops them returning.
How long does it take to get rid of rats?
Most infestations are controlled within 1–3 weeks depending on size. Roof rats and established colonies may need ongoing stations and a follow-up.
Do rodents cause damage?
Yes — they gnaw wiring (a fire risk), pipes and insulation, and contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine that spread disease.
