🚨

Rodents breed rapidly all year round in Melbourne — a single pair of rats can produce hundreds of offspring in just a few months.

If you’re seeing droppings, gnaw marks, or hearing scratching in walls or ceilings at night, you likely have an active rodent infestation nearby. Don’t wait — the longer you leave it, the bigger and more damaging the problem becomes.

Don't Risk It

Why Rodent Infestations Are More Dangerous Than You Think

Unlike a one-off pest, rats and mice breed rapidly and cause ongoing damage and health risks. This is not a DIY job.

The real risks of a rodent infestation

Rats and mice spread serious diseases

They carry bacteria that cause salmonella, leptospirosis, and other illnesses. Their droppings and urine contaminate food, benchtops, and surfaces — putting your family at risk.

Constant gnawing causes structural damage

Rodents chew through wood, plastic, electrical wiring, and insulation. A neglected infestation can lead to costly repairs, short circuits, and even fire hazards.

They nest and breed inside your home

Rats and mice hide in wall cavities, roof voids, kitchens, and under floors. A single pair can produce hundreds of offspring in months, quickly turning a small problem into a major infestation.

Rodent populations explode quickly

With constant access to food and shelter, numbers grow fast. The longer you wait, the more damage they cause and the harder (and more expensive) it becomes to eliminate them.

Why Pest Solution Melbourne is the safe choice

Full PPE protection on every job

Our licensed technicians wear professional protective equipment on every job. No shortcuts, no exceptions.

Targeted professional treatments — full colony elimination

Walls, roofs, ceilings, kitchens & gardens — we handle all locations

Rodents hide in hard-to-reach places. We treat every harbourage area other companies often miss.

If rodents return within warranty — we retreat free

Our results are guaranteed. If rodents return within the warranty period, we come back at zero cost to you.

Rodent Species Melbourne

Common Rodents We Eliminate in Melbourne

Identifying the species is critical — each type requires a different treatment approach. Our technicians identify the species on arrival and adapt accordingly.

Most Common

Black Rat (Roof Rat)

The most widespread rat in Melbourne homes. Excellent climbers that nest in roof voids, wall cavities, and ceiling spaces. They gnaw through wires, insulation, and timber while contaminating food and surfaces with droppings and urine.

Threat Level: High — Disease spread & structural damage
Common

Brown Rat (Norway Rat / Sewer Rat)

Larger and more aggressive than black rats. They burrow under foundations, in gardens, and sewer systems, then enter homes through small gaps. Known for heavy gnawing on pipes, food packaging, and timber structures.

Threat Level: Medium to High — Burrowing & aggressive behaviour
Nuisance

House Mouse

Small, fast-breeding mice that squeeze through tiny gaps. They commonly nest in kitchens, pantries, and wall cavities. They contaminate food stores and leave behind large numbers of droppings, spreading bacteria rapidly.

Threat Level: High — Rapid breeding & food contamination

Warning Signs

Signs You Have a Rodent Infestation on Your Property

Early detection is critical — smaller infestations are easier and cheaper to treat. Don’t ignore these common warning signs.

Droppings and urine trails

Small dark pellets (rice-sized for mice, larger for rats) or wet stains along walls, in cupboards, or near food areas are the clearest sign of active rodents.

Scratching, gnawing or scurrying noises

Noises in walls, ceilings, or roof voids — especially at night — are a near-certain sign of rodents nesting inside your home.

Gnaw marks on wires, wood, or packaging

Fresh chew marks on electrical cables, timber, plastic containers, or food packaging indicate rodents are actively damaging your property.

Increasing sightings or activity at night

Seeing rodents dart across floors, hearing them in the kitchen, or finding food packets chewed open means the infestation is growing.

Holes or gaps near foundations or pipes

Small holes in soil, under skirting boards, or around pipes show where rats are burrowing or entering your home.

Nests made from shredded material

Piles of shredded paper, insulation, fabric, or leaves in dark corners, roof voids, or behind appliances signal an active nesting site.

Found rats running across our kitchen bench at night and droppings everywhere. Pest Solution Melbourne came the same day, found the nest in the wall cavity, and treated it properly. Within two weeks the rats were completely gone. Very professional service.

Mice were everywhere in our pantry, chewing through food packets and leaving droppings on the shelves. I was really worried about the kids. Pest Solution Melbourne responded quickly, found the main nest in the wall cavity, and treated both indoor and outdoor areas. It's been three weeks with no mice at all. Highly recommend them.

Mice kept coming back no matter what traps I bought. Two other companies only did a quick spray and the problem returned. Pest Solution Melbourne found the main nest in the wall cavity and treated it properly. It's been three months with no mice at all. Finally a company that actually solves the problem.

FAQ

Common Questions About Rodent Control in Melbourne

Straight answers to what Melbourne homeowners ask us most.

Is it really dangerous to remove rodents myself?
Yes — DIY poisons and traps often make the problem worse. They only kill some of the rodents you see and can cause the colony to scatter and nest in new hidden areas. Many homeowners end up with a much bigger infestation after trying to treat it themselves. Professional treatment is faster, safer, and far more effective.
How long does rodent treatment take?
The on-site treatment usually takes 45–90 minutes depending on the size of your property and severity of the infestation. You will start seeing major improvement within a few days, with most rodents eliminated within 1–2 weeks.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
For most treatments, you only need to keep people and pets away from the treated areas for 2–4 hours while the products dry. We'll give you clear instructions on the day. The treatments we use are low-toxicity and safe for your family once dry.
Can you treat rodents hidden inside walls or under the house?
Yes — this is one of our specialties. Rodents often nest deep in wall cavities, roof voids, or under floors. We use professional baits, traps, and sealing that target the entire colony, including the breeding nest.
How much does rodent control cost in Melbourne?
Pricing starts at $180 for a standard single-storey residential treatment. Heavy or hidden infestations start at $220. Double-storey and commercial jobs start from $250+. We always provide a clear, upfront quote before starting — no hidden fees.
What if the rodents come back after treatment?
All our treatments include a warranty period (3–12 months depending on the job). If rodents return within the warranty period, we will come back and retreat at no extra cost. Our re-treatment rate is very low because we focus on complete colony elimination.
