Rodents in Victoria: Know the Risks Before They Spread

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

There are three dominant rodent species causing pest issues in Melbourne:

● 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.

Spotting a Rodent Infestation: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

● 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 & Public Health: What You Need to Know

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.

Our Proven Rodent Control Strategy

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.

Safe & Targeted Rodent Treatments
  • 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.

Still Noticing Activity After 5 Days?

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.
