Rodent Control

Noises in the roof, droppings in the cupboard, something gnawing at night. Rodents are not a one-spray job, and the operators who treat them like one are why they come straight back. We run it as a program: trap, bait and, most importantly, find and seal the way they got in.

Scope

What this job includes.

  • Roof void, sub-floor, kitchen and garage inspection
  • Trapping and APVMA-registered baiting in tamper-resistant stations
  • Finding and sealing the entry points, not just laying bait
  • Baits placed where children and pets cannot reach them
  • A follow-up to confirm the activity has stopped
Our system: A rodent program, not a single visit: inspection, trapping and secured baiting, entry-point proofing, and a follow-up. Baits go in tamper-resistant stations kept away from kids and pets.
Why a program, not a spray

The fix is finding how they got in.

Bait alone is a repeat visit
A mouse fits a pencil-width gap (~6mm)
A rat fits a thumb-width gap (~12mm)

So we find every way in, and seal it:

  • Weep holes & brick gaps
  • Gaps around pipes & cables
  • Roof junctions & eaves
  • Under-door gaps
Sealed and mapped on your report. The next ones can’t follow the same path in.
How we report it

The same 7 lines, every time.

Whatever the pest, your report splits the job the same honest way, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

The 7-line quote
  1. 1 Inspection first. We inspect the property and identify the actual pest, the entry points and the conditions feeding it, before we quote. Never a price over the phone.
  2. 2 Pest + severity named. What you have, how established it is and where it is active, written on the report. Not "general spray, she’ll be right".
  3. 3 Product named + APVMA reg. The exact APVMA-registered product and where it goes, named on the report. Child and pet safe once it has dried.
  4. 4 Re-entry + safety window. The exact drying and re-entry time, usually two to four hours, and what to wipe and what to leave afterwards.
  5. 5 Warranty term + re-service trigger. The warranty term and the exact trigger: active inside the term and we re-treat free, no six-week wait, no excuses.
  6. 6 Timber-pest check. Termites and timber pests flagged as their own line, because home insurance does not cover termite damage. An AS 4349.3 inspection or AS 3660 barrier if you need one.
  7. 7 Certificate + next inspection. The record of products applied, your certificate, and the honest re-treat date, most homes every six to twelve months.
If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.
How it runs

What happens, step by step.

1

Inspection + itemised report

We come out, identify the pest, the entry points and the conditions feeding it, then quote from what we actually find. Not a phone price.

2

The treatment plan

The pest and its severity, the APVMA-registered product and where it goes, the re-entry time and the warranty, all written on the report you keep.

3

Booking, in writing

We confirm the date, the safety steps and the price on letterhead. No surprise call-out fees, no upsell sprung on the day.

4

Treatment day

Interior and exterior treated as planned, child and pet areas handled with care, food surfaces and pet bowls respected and covered.

5

Re-entry + aftercare

The exact drying time before it is safe to go back in, what to wipe and what to leave, and how long before the treatment fully works.

6

Warranty + next inspection

The warranty term and the exact re-service trigger, your certificate, and an honest re-treat date, usually six to twelve months out.

Licensed, covered, warranted

The paperwork behind the price.

QLD PMT-000000, Public liability to $20M + professional indemnity, and a 12-month re-service warranty, all in writing, all on request.

Nathan walks through exactly what’s covered, the licence you can verify, the cover that protects your home, and the warranty that names its own trigger instead of hiding behind “100%”.

Questions, answered

Rodent Control, common questions.

Why not just lay some bait myself? +
You can, and for one mouse it might be enough. The problem with bait alone is that it does nothing about how they got in, so the next ones follow the same gap behind the dishwasher or under the eave. A program finds and seals the entry points, which is the part that actually stops it recurring. Loose bait also poses a risk to pets and native animals, so we use tamper-resistant stations.
Is the bait safe around my pets and kids? +
We place baits in tamper-resistant stations and put them where children and pets cannot reach, in the roof, sub-floor and secured points. We talk through every location with you. If you have pets that get into everything, tell us and we will lean harder on trapping and proofing over bait.
There are noises in my roof at night. Is that rats? +
Scratching and scurrying after dark in the roof is very often rats or possums, and the two need very different handling, so step one is identifying which. We inspect the roof void, look for droppings, rub marks and entry points, and tell you what you actually have before we treat. Possums, for the record, are protected and handled differently.
How long does it take to get rid of them? +
Most rodent problems are under control within one to two weeks, depending on how established they are and how many entry points there are to close. We set the program up, then follow up to confirm the activity has stopped rather than assuming it has.
How do they keep getting in? +
A mouse fits through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one the width of your thumb, so the usual culprits are weep holes, gaps around pipes, roof junctions and under-door gaps. Finding those is half the job, and it is the half the cheap operators skip. We map them on the report so you know what was sealed and what to watch.
