Rodent Control in Melbourne | My PestControl Pty Ltd
Welcome to My Pest Control Pty Ltd, Melbourne’s trusted name for comprehensive and professional rodent control services. Rodents like rats and mice are more than just a nuisance—they are health hazards, property destroyers, and persistent invaders. We combine deep industry knowledge, modern pest control techniques, and full compliance with Vic Health guidelines to deliver effective, humane, and long-lasting rodent management solutions across homes and businesses in Victoria.
Rodents are warm-blooded mammals in the Rodentia order, notorious for their sharp,
ever-growing incisors. Though they comprise over 40% of all mammal species globally, only a few pose serious health and safety risks in Melbourne.
Melbourne’s Three Most Problematic Rodents
● House Mouse (Mus musculus): Small, light brown-grey, and incredibly adaptable. Mice nest in kitchens, behind walls, and inside appliances. They reproduce rapidly and infestations can escalate quickly.
● Roof Rat (Rattus rattus): Also called the black rat. Slim and agile, with a tail longer than the body, they love roof voids and high places in homes, warehouses, and offices.
● Norway Rat (Rattus norvegicus): Also known as the brown rat or sewer rat. These rodents are large and burly with a tail shorter than their body. Commonly found in burrows, drains, and under buildings, they are excellent swimmers.Small, light brown-grey, and incredibly adaptable. Mice nest in kitchens, behind walls, and inside appliances. They reproduce rapidly and infestations can escalate quickly. All three species are nocturnal, reproduce rapidly, and are known to thrive on even minimal food and water resources.
● Small, dark droppings near pantries or baseboards
● Gnaw marks on cables, boxes, or furniture
● Scratching noises at night inside walls or ceilings
● Shredded material nests in cupboards or hidden spaces
● Smudges or grease trails along floorboards
● Pets acting strangely, barking or scratching at walls or vents Daytime sightings often indicate a severe infestation.
Rodents can spread multiple life-threatening diseases including:
● Leptospirosis
● Salmonellosis
● Hantavirus
● Rat-bite fever
● Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV)
Their droppings, urine, and nesting materials contaminate food and surfaces. Rodents also chew wires, timber, and insulation—creating fire hazards and structural damage that can result in thousands of dollars in repair costs.
At My Pest Control Pty Ltd, we follow a certified Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy:
We assess your site for nesting spots, rodent pathways, and risk zones
Using durable materials, we block off all rodent access—gaps, holes, vents, and pipes.
We help eliminate what attracts rodents—food scraps, water leaks, and clutter.
At My Pest Control Pty Ltd, we prioritise precision and safety in rodent control by utilising a tailored combination of high-efficiency snap traps, tamper-resistant bait stations, and approved rodenticides. These tools are carefully selected and strategically placed based on the rodent species and the severity of the infestation.
Child- and pet-safe bait stations are installed professionally to ensure maximum effectiveness while protecting your household or workplace. These locked units prevent accidental access and deliver focused treatment where it's needed most.
Fast-acting results: Rodents may begin to show signs of decline within 12 to 24 hours, with most fatalities occurring between 2 to 5 days depending on species, health, and bait intake.
While some rodents may leave the premises before dying—especially those with external foraging patterns—many succumb near nesting sites such as subfloors, wall cavities, or behind stored goods.
Our trained technicians work to minimise the chances of rodents dying in inaccessible areas by customizing bait and trap placement according to your property’s layout.
This may be due to:
Reinfestation from surrounding areas
Large rodent populations
Delayed bait consumption
We recommend prompt follow-up if rodent activity persists. Our team will reassess and provide ongoing treatment if required.
Every infestation is unique. That’s why we offer tailored advice on what to expect after treatment and how to achieve long-term rodent protection.
We're committed to ensuring a rodent-free outcome:
Follow-up inspections, rebaiting, and monitoring services are available.
Any additional visits will be clearly discussed in advance with full transparency.
We can also remove dead rodents for an additional charge, if needed.
While the risk of secondary poisoning is low, it’s not zero.
If your pet eats a rodent carcass:
Seek veterinary attention immediately.
Inform your vet that rodenticide was used for accurate treatment.
Always wear gloves
Double-bag the carcass and dispose in an outdoor bin
Disinfect the area with a suitable cleaner
Wash hands thoroughly afterward
Contact us for professional carcass removal (additional fee applies)
Keep children and pets away from bait stations
Do not touch or relocate bait stations
Monitor pet areas and play zones daily during treatment
Follow any specific advice given by your technician
Our team is always available to answer questions and provide ongoing safety guidance.
If you notice bad odours or suspect a rodent has died in an inaccessible area:
Contact us immediately
We’ll inspect, locate the source, and recommend solutions such as:
Deodorizing treatments
Physical removal (if accessible)
We tailor every response based on your property’s construction and accessibility.
To ensure complete rodent eradication, our team offers follow-up inspections and re-baiting services where necessary. Follow-up visits may incur additional charges, depending on the infestation level and property type. You'll always be informed upfront.
