Our work

Recent jobs, filmed on site

Our own technicians on real callouts across Melbourne, filmed on site. The footage we hold is wasp and bee work rather than rodent control eltham, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Same technicians, same licence, same standard on your job.

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.

In Eltham

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.

What is included

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.

On this kind of property

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.

Narrowing it down

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.

How a job runs

From your call to a finished job in Eltham

No surprises, and no price that changes once we are on site.

STEP 1

Confirm it has stopped

Rather than assuming, we check the stations before calling it done.

STEP 2

We identify the species

Droppings, runs, gnaw marks and grease trails along the skirting.

STEP 3

Come back

A return visit to check the stations and clear anything caught.

STEP 4

Tell you what attracts them

Bins, stored feed, fruit trees and pet food, because none of the sealing helps while the food stays available.

STEP 5

Fixed price before we travel

Quoted on the property and what you describe, unchanged on the day.

Questions

Rodent Control questions, answered

How fast can you get to Eltham 3095?
Most of these go out the same day, because waiting genuinely makes them worse. Call 0436 389 114 and we will tell you what is actually free today.
How small a gap can they use?
A mouse gets through about 6mm and a rat through about 20mm. That is why sealing has to be done properly with mesh and packing rather than filler.
Can I just use supermarket baits?
They kill some rodents and teach you nothing about where they are getting in, which is the part that matters. They also risk a carcass somewhere you cannot reach, which becomes a worse problem.
Do I have rats or mice?
Droppings are the quickest tell. Mouse droppings are 3mm to 6mm and look like dark grains of rice. Rat droppings are about 12mm with pointed ends. Rats also sound heavier and follow one route across the ceiling each night.
Something has died in the wall.
We locate it by smell, flies and staining, remove it, and treat the insects it attracted. Dead rodent removal is usually a same day job.
What does rodent control cost?
It depends on the property size, whether it is rats or mice, and how much proofing is needed. Fixed price before we travel.
Do you treat businesses as well as homes?
Yes. Commercial work comes with a numbered station map, a service record kept on site and a report suitable for an audit.
