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 hawksburn, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Same technicians, same licence, same standard on your job.

Rodent Control in Hawksburn: how it works

The noise usually arrives before anything else, and the hour you hear it is the single most useful clue about what you have. 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 Hawksburn 3142 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 Hawksburn

Rodent Control in Hawksburn 3142: what changes here

Hawksburn is terraces, period conversions and apartment buildings, nearly all sharing walls. Anything in a cavity here is in a shared cavity, and buildings split into apartments carry problems between levels through the risers.

The village strip keeps food premises and bin rooms close to residential buildings, which is usually where the supply comes from.

  • Shared walls and risers between converted dwellings.
  • A village strip with food premises close to housing.
  • Period buildings with cavities that cannot be seen into.

What is included

Rodent Control Hawksburn: 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.

Inspection inside and out

Roof void, subfloor, kitchen cavities and the outside walls. We follow the runs and the droppings rather than stopping at the obvious one.

A follow up visit

To check the stations, clear anything caught, and close off whatever the first visit uncovered.

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.

A written record

What was found, what was used, where every station sits and what still needs work.

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.

Safe around pets and children

Stations cannot be opened without a key, and every placement is recorded.

On this kind of property

What we check on Hawksburn housing

The village strip keeps food premises and bin rooms close to residential buildings, which is usually where the supply comes from.

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.

  • Shared walls and risers between converted dwellings.
  • A village strip with food premises close to housing.
  • Subfloor checked, because it is often the reservoir.
  • Bins, feed and fallen fruit flagged as the food source.

Call and we will tell you what today looks like.

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.

Quoted before we travel, unchanged on the day.

How a job runs

From your call to a finished job in Hawksburn

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

STEP 1

Check the roof and the subfloor

Both, because a noise heard in the ceiling can easily be coming from under the floor.

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

Report what is still open

Including anything that needs a builder or a roof plumber.

STEP 5

Call and describe the noise

Heavy movement across the ceiling after dark reads as rats. Light, fast scurrying in a wall reads as mice.

Straight answer on the call, no callback required.

Questions

Rodent Control questions, answered

How fast can you get to Hawksburn 3142?
Usually today, sometimes first thing tomorrow, and we will say which on the phone rather than booking you in and hoping. 0436 389 114, seven days.
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.
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.
Why are they in the roof rather than the kitchen?
Roof rats climb and prefer to travel high, so they use the ceiling as a road and come down only to feed. That is why you hear them overhead and see droppings downstairs.
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.
How long before the noise stops?
Usually within a week or two as the bait moves through the population. If it has not, that is worth a call rather than a wait, because it normally means a second access point.
Will one visit be enough?
For a small mouse problem caught early, often. For an established rat population, no, and the follow up is part of the quoted job rather than an extra call out.

Still have a question? Ask us directly, we answer seven days.
