Rodent Control Point Cook 3030 | Open 7 Days

Search how to get rid of rats and you will find traps, sprays and ultrasonic plug ins. On blocks this close together they do not keep up. We inspect the roof space, the garage, the meter box and the outside walls, and we look along the fence lines for the runs. Rat baiting is done with lockable, tamper resistant stations placed on those runs, where children and pets cannot get to them, and applied as the label directs.

Then we seal the entry points: mesh and fillers around pipes and cables, covers on damaged vents, and advice on garage door seals. Mice control needs the smallest gaps closed, because a mouse can get through a gap about the width of a pencil.

We come back to check and service the stations and to finish sealing. A rat infestation that has been growing for months usually needs more than one visit, and we will tell you that up front rather than surprise you.

• Roof space, garage and wall inspection
• Lockable bait stations along the runs
• Entry points sealed around pipes, cables and vents
• Follow up to service stations and finish sealing

On blocks this close together, rodents do not stop at your boundary. If the house next door has a rat problem, you will likely get it too, and the reverse is also true. That is why sealing your home matters as much as the bait: it takes you off the route.

If several homes in your street are hearing the same noise in roof spaces at night, it is worth mentioning when you call. We can plan the visits so the problem is dealt with along the fence line, not just in one roof. The same pattern runs through Werribee and the rest of Wyndham.

• Rodents travel along shared fence lines
• Sealing takes your home off the route
• Street wide problems planned together
• Bins, compost and pet food kept sealed

Point Cook gardens are small, so a few habits make a big difference. Keep wheelie bin lids shut and the bins off the side fence, where rats use them as a step. Use a sealed compost bin rather than an open heap, and do not put meat or bread in it. Bring pet food in at night and sweep up spilt bird seed.

Check the garage door seal every year, because it wears out quickly and it is the easiest way in for mice. Trim any tree that overhangs the roof, and keep plants and stored items a hand width off the house wall so you can see droppings or gnaw marks early. The earlier rodents are spotted, the smaller the job.

• Bin lids shut and bins off the fence line
• Sealed compost, no meat or bread
• Garage door seal checked every year
• Stored items kept off the house wall

Rats in ceiling spaces chew cables, and that is the part that worries most owners. We check wiring in the roof during the inspection and tell you if we see damage, so you can get an electrician to look at it.

If a rat dies in the roof or a wall after baiting, you will know by the smell. We can find and remove it where it can be reached, treat the area and seal the entry. Our dead animal removal page explains how that works. Rat removal of dead rodents we find during the job is included.

• Cables in the roof checked for chewing
• Dead rodents removed where they can be reached
• Odour and fly treatment where needed
• Honest advice when something needs an electrician

Two homes in the same Point Cook street can need very different amounts of work, so we do not quote a flat rate. We give you a fixed price before we travel, and it does not move on the day.

The price depends on how many areas need treating, how established the rodents are and how many gaps need sealing. If you are looking for a rat exterminator who just leaves bait, we are not that service, because bait alone rarely lasts on blocks this close together.

• Single or double storey, and roof access
• Roof only, or roof, walls and garage
• How long the rodents have been there
• Number of entry points to seal
