Why Melbourne homes get rats and mice
Melbourne is perfect rodent territory. Older homes with gaps under the eaves, new estates backing onto creeks and paddocks, cafes and bins on every corner. When the weather cools down in autumn, rats and mice move indoors looking for warmth and food, and once they are in they multiply frighteningly fast.
One pair of mice can produce more than 300 offspring in a single year. They chew constantly to wear down their teeth, and that includes electrical wiring, which is linked to house fires across Victoria every year. The longer you wait, the bigger and more expensive the problem becomes.
The good news: rodents are completely fixable when the job is done properly. Not just baits thrown in the roof, but identification, targeted treatment and sealing the entry points so the next family of rodents cannot move in.
Complete rat and mice control, done properly
Every job starts with a full inspection so we treat the actual problem, not a guess. Here is what is included.
Home rodent treatment
Full treatment of your roof void, subfloor, walls, kitchen and garage using locked, tamper resistant bait stations and traps that are safe around kids and pets.
Cafes, restaurants and offices
Discreet commercial rodent programs with monitoring, documentation for health inspections and after hours visits so your customers never see a technician.
Roof void and wall cavity treatment
Rats love the warm, quiet space above your ceiling. We treat the roof void directly, find how they are getting up there and cut off the route.
Secure baiting programs
Professional grade baits in locked stations, placed along the runways rodents actually use. Checked and topped up on follow up visits until activity stops.
Rodent proofing and sealing
The step most companies skip. We seal gaps, vents, pipe penetrations and eave openings with steel mesh and rodent rated materials, backed by our written guarantee.
Carcass removal and sanitising
We locate and remove dead rodents before they cause odour, then sanitise droppings and nesting areas so your roof void and cupboards are safe again.
From scratching to silence in four steps
No mystery, no jargon. This is exactly what happens when you book us in.
Inspect and identify
We check your roof void, subfloor, kitchen and exterior, confirm whether it is rats or mice and map out exactly where they are living and how they got in.
Treat safely
Locked bait stations and traps go in along the routes rodents actually travel. Everything is child safe, pet safe and explained to you before we leave.
Seal every entry point
Gaps, vents, pipework and eave openings are sealed with steel mesh and rodent rated fillers, so the next rodents looking for a warm home stay outside.
Follow up and guarantee
We return to confirm activity has stopped, remove carcasses, refresh stations if needed and hand over your written guarantee.
The three rodents in Melbourne homes
Each species behaves differently, so each one is treated differently. Getting this right is the difference between a fixed problem and a repeat visit.
Norway Rat
Rattus norvegicusThe big one. Heavy bodied with a blunt nose, it lives low: burrows in the garden, under decking and concrete slabs, in the subfloor and around drains.
- Up to 25cm long plus tail
- Digs burrows near food and water
- Strong enough to gnaw through timber and soft mortar
Roof Rat
Rattus rattusThe climber, and the one behind most ceiling noise in Melbourne. Slim and agile, it runs along fences and branches, slips in under the eaves and nests in your roof void.
- Tail longer than its body, excellent climber
- Most active at night, heard after dark
- Notorious for chewing wiring in ceilings
House Mouse
Mus musculusSmall, curious and unbelievably quick to breed. Mice live close to food, in kitchen kickboards, pantries, wall cavities and behind appliances.
- Squeezes through a gap the width of a pencil
- A new litter every three weeks
- Contaminates far more food than it eats
Rodents are a health risk, not just a noise
Rats and mice spread disease through their droppings, urine and constant gnawing. Here is what an untreated infestation can expose your family to.
Leptospirosis
Spread by urineBacteria in rodent urine can contaminate benchtops, floors and stored food, causing flu like illness that can become serious without treatment.
Salmonellosis
Spread by droppingsDroppings in pantries and food prep areas are a common cause of salmonella food poisoning, especially risky for kids and older family members.
Rat bite fever
Bites and scratchesCornered rodents bite. Never try to grab a rat or clear a live trap by hand, the infection risk is real and entirely avoidable.
Asthma and allergies
Dander and droppingsDried droppings and dander break down into household dust and are a known trigger for asthma and allergies, particularly in children’s bedrooms under a roof void.
Six signs you have rats or mice
Spot any one of these and it is time to act. Rodent numbers only ever go one way.
Light, fast scurrying in the ceiling or walls after dark, often on and off through the whole night.
Dark pellets along skirting boards, in the pantry, under the sink or in drawers. Mouse droppings are rice sized, rat droppings are larger.
Chewed food packets, cables, skirting or timber. Fresh gnaw marks are pale and rough, a sign of current activity.
A stale, musky odour in cupboards, the roof space or behind appliances comes from rodent urine and nesting.
Dark, oily smears along walls, beams and pipes where rodents run the same route night after night.
Shredded paper, insulation or fabric packed into quiet corners of the roof void, garage or behind stored boxes.

What Melbourne locals say
Real reviews from rodent jobs across Melbourne.
“We had scratching above our bedroom every night for weeks and supermarket baits did nothing. Json found where the rats were getting in under the eaves, treated the roof and sealed it all with mesh. The noise stopped within days. Should have called months earlier.”
“Found mouse droppings in the pantry with a newborn in the house, so we were pretty stressed. They came the same day, explained everything, and all the stations were locked boxes our dog could not touch. Follow up visit included. No sign of mice since.”
“We run a small cafe and needed the rodent issue handled quietly and properly before an inspection. They came after close, set up a monitoring program and gave us the paperwork we needed. Professional from the first phone call. Highly recommend.”
