Rodent Control Melton 3337 | Fixed Price Quotes

Melton is a growth corridor on the western edge of Melbourne, and in many streets the paddocks start where the back fences end. That matters for rodents. When a season is good for grass and grain, mouse numbers across the farmland rise, and when the paddocks dry off or are cleared, the mice move. The nearest warm, dry buildings are the homes, sheds and garages on the edge of town.

The new estates around Cobblebank, Strathtulloh, Thornhill Park and Weir Views see this most, because they sit right against open ground and construction. Older parts of Melton and Melton South have a different pattern: bigger backyards, sheds, woodpiles and fruit trees that give roof rats and brown rats a home all year.

Toolern Creek and the Werribee River nearby add water and cover. Put it together and it is no surprise that pest control Melton searches climb every autumn.

• Estates backing onto paddocks and open ground
• Mouse numbers rising and falling with the farm seasons
• Older blocks with sheds, woodpiles and fruit trees
• Creek and river corridors nearby

A lot of Melton homes have a big shed, a double garage or a granny flat, and those are often where a rat infestation starts. Stored feed, pet food, bird seed and cardboard boxes give rodents food and nesting material, and the doors are rarely sealed.

From the shed, rats move along the fence to the house and into the wall cavity through weep holes and vents. Rats in walls are hard to reach, which is why we treat the shed and the house as one job. If you have seen droppings in the shed, there is a good chance they are already in the house.

• Feed and pet food stored in sealed bins
• Cardboard and clutter kept off the floor
• Shed and garage door gaps sealed
• Weep holes and vents checked on the house

The best time to prepare a Melton home is late summer, before the weather turns. Walk the outside of the house and the shed and look for gaps: a missing weep hole cover, a gap under the garage door, a hole where a pipe enters the wall. Those are the doors mice will use in March and April.

Keep the strip of ground along the back fence short and clear, because long grass there is a bridge from the paddock to your yard. Keep firewood, hay and stored feed away from the house, and if you keep chooks, collect uneaten feed each evening. Small changes like these make baiting work faster and make sealing last longer.

• Gaps checked in late summer, before autumn
• Fence line grass kept short
• Firewood, hay and feed stored away from the house
• Chook feed collected each evening

We work across Melton, Melton South, Melton West, Kurunjang, Harkness, Brookfield, Cobblebank and Eynesbury every week. Call in the morning and a same day visit is often possible.

If you are in the east of the corridor, our rodent control in Point Cook and Essendon pages show how the problem changes closer to the city. If a rat has died out of reach and the smell is the issue, see our dead animal removal service. Rat removal of any dead rodents we find on the job is included.

• Same day visits when you call early
• Homes, sheds, garages and granny flats
• Seven days a week
• Dead rodents removed where we can reach them

Price depends on the property, not a formula. A unit with mice in the pantry is a short job; a large block with a house, a shed, a garage and rats in the roof is a bigger one. You get a fixed price before we travel, and it does not change on the day.

We include the sealing because it is the part that makes the result last. A rat exterminator who only leaves bait is cheaper on the day, but it is not what we do, and on the edge of farmland the rodents simply come back.

• Number of buildings to treat
• Mice, rats or both
• Amount of sealing needed
• Number of follow up visits
