Rodent Control in Eltham: how it works
Rodent work is two jobs in one: the animals in the building now, and the opening that let them in. A technician identifies whether you have rats or mice, because the two are baited and trapped differently. Bait goes into locked, tamper resistant stations on the runs, never loose where a pet could reach it. Then the part that decides whether it returns: every opening we can reach in Eltham 3095 is closed, because a mouse fits through about 6mm and a rat through about 20mm. We come back to check the stations and clear anything caught. Call 0436 389 114, seven days.

Rodent Control in Eltham 3095: what changes here
Eltham housing is mudbrick and timber set among trees, usually with decks and a subfloor. Timber construction and deck framing give far more entry points than a brick veneer house, and they are harder to close properly.
This is heavy bushland with a gum canopy and a resident possum population. Possum pressure here is constant rather than seasonal, so proofing is the whole job rather than half of it.
- Timber and mudbrick construction with many more ways in.
- Decks and subfloors used as shelter under the living areas.
- A resident possum population in the surrounding canopy.

Rodent Control Eltham: what the job covers
Most rodent problems come down to three things: the rodents, the way they get in, and what they have left behind.
A follow up visit
To check the stations, clear anything caught, and close off whatever the first visit uncovered.
Commercial records where you need them
Numbered station maps and service logs for food premises and warehousing.
Safe around pets and children
Stations cannot be opened without a key, and every placement is recorded.
Dead rodent removal if it comes to that
Locating and removing a carcass from a wall or roof, and treating the flies and beetles that followed it.
Trapping where baiting is wrong
In a kitchen, a childcare room or a ceiling where a carcass would sit behind plaster, we trap and return instead.
Rodent exclusion advice
Branches, fence lines, stored materials and bin placement all get flagged, because they are how rodents arrive.

What we check on Eltham housing
This is heavy bushland with a gum canopy and a resident possum population. Possum pressure here is constant rather than seasonal, so proofing is the whole job rather than half of it.
That is why two jobs in the same street can run differently. The pest is the same, the building is not, and the building decides how long it takes and what it costs.
- Timber and mudbrick construction with many more ways in.
- Decks and subfloors used as shelter under the living areas.
- Door thresholds checked where daylight shows underneath.
- Subfloor checked, because it is often the reservoir.
Quoted before we travel, unchanged on the day.
Rats specifically
Rats are the heavier of the two rodents and they travel a fixed route, which is what makes them treatable. Heavy movement across a ceiling after dark along the same line each night is a rat rather than a mouse.
They climb rather than dig, so the way in is usually above ground: a branch to the gutter, a fence line to the roof, a lifted tile or an unscreened eave vent.
- Droppings about 12mm with pointed ends, along a repeated run.
- Heavy, confident movement overhead rather than quick scurrying.
- Entry above ground level, because rats climb rather than burrow.
Straight answer on the call, no callback required.
From your call to a finished job in Eltham
No surprises, and no price that changes once we are on site.
Confirm it has stopped
Rather than assuming, we check the stations before calling it done.
We identify the species
Droppings, runs, gnaw marks and grease trails along the skirting.
Come back
A return visit to check the stations and clear anything caught.
Tell you what attracts them
Bins, stored feed, fruit trees and pet food, because none of the sealing helps while the food stays available.
Fixed price before we travel
Quoted on the property and what you describe, unchanged on the day.
