Why Treatment Matters

Rats Are Far More Dangerous Than You Think

They chew through wiring causing house fires, contaminate food with disease, and breed at an alarming rate.

🔥

House Fire Risk

Rats gnaw through electrical wiring, gas lines and plumbing. Rodent-damaged wiring is a leading cause of house fires in Australia.

⚠ 25% of house fires from unknown causes are rodent-related
🐀

Disease Carriers

Rats spread leptospirosis, salmonella, hantavirus and parasites through droppings, urine and contaminated surfaces.

⚠ Rat urine can contaminate entire pantries
📈

Rapid Breeding

A single pair of rats can produce up to 1,500 offspring per year. A small problem becomes an infestation within weeks.

⚠ Rats reach sexual maturity in just 5 weeks
What You Get

Our Rat Elimination Process

A strategic, multi-stage rodent control approach that eliminates the current rat infestation and prevents re-entry.

Full Property Inspection

Our rat pest control experts trace droppings, gnaw marks, grease trails and runways to locate nesting sites and map entry points throughout your property.

Lockable Bait Stations

Tamper-resistant, child & pet-safe bait stations placed strategically along rat runways. Professional-grade rodenticides work through the colony.

Snap Trapping

Professional snap traps placed in high-activity areas for immediate population knockdown. Checked and serviced during follow-up visits.

Roof Void Treatment

Bait and tracking powder placed in roof voids and subfloor areas where rats nest, travel, and breed out of sight.

Entry Point Advice

We identify all entry points — gaps in roofline, weep holes, pipe penetrations — and advise on sealing to prevent future invasions.

Written Warranty

Every treatment comes with a written guarantee. If rats return within the warranty period, so do we — at no extra cost.

Warning Signs

Signs You Have a Rat Problem

!

Scratching Noises at Night

Scurrying, scratching or gnawing sounds in the roof, walls or under the floor — especially at night when rats are most active.

!

Droppings & Urine Stains

Dark, capsule-shaped droppings (12–18mm) found along walls, in cupboards, or near food storage areas.

!

Gnaw Marks & Damage

Chewed wiring, timber, plastic pipes, food packaging or insulation. Rats must gnaw constantly to keep their teeth short.

!

Grease Trails Along Walls

Rats leave dark, oily smear marks along walls and skirting boards from the grease in their fur as they follow the same paths nightly.

FAQ

Rat Control FAQs

Most rat activity ceases within 7–14 days. Bait stations take a few days to work through the colony as rats consume the bait and return to the nest. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor activity and replenish stations.
Yes. We use tamper-resistant, lockable bait stations that children and pets cannot open. The bait is securely contained inside the station. Stations are also placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets where possible.
While it's possible a rat may die in a wall void, the professional baits we use cause rats to seek water and typically leave the structure before dying. In rare cases of odour, the smell dissipates within 1–2 weeks.
Hardware store baits are less potent and often placed incorrectly. Rats are neophobic (fear new things) and will avoid poorly placed bait. Professional placement along confirmed runways, combined with trapping and roof treatment, is vastly more effective.
Yes. Rat control is a process, not a one-off event. We schedule follow-up visits to check bait consumption, reset traps, and confirm the population has been eliminated. All included in your quoted price.
