Rats and mice are a common call in Mill Park, especially from late summer into winter. Mice move in from the grassland and open land around the edge of the suburb, and they can squeeze through a gap the width of a pencil. Roof rats climb fences, trees and downpipes to reach the roof, while Norway rats burrow under sheds and near water. Once inside, they chew wiring and insulation, spoil food and breed quickly.
When you ring, tell us what you have heard or seen, whether there are droppings, and where the manhole is. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew. The crew we book inspects the roof space, garage, shed and yard, then sets tamper-resistant bait stations or traps where the rodents are moving, and shows you the gaps they are using.

- Lockable bait stations placed away from children and pets
- Traps where baits are not a good fit
- Advice on sealing gaps at weep holes, pipes and doors
- Tips on cutting off food, water and nesting spots
Rodent jobs often need more than one visit so bait stations can be checked and refilled while the rodents are feeding. We tell you how many visits to expect when we give you the price. In the meantime, keep pet food sealed, bins closed and fallen fruit picked up, and do not disturb or move the bait stations once they are set.
Trim branches back from the roof line, move woodpiles away from the house and clear clutter from the garage floor. Call 03 7053 9824 to book rodent control in Mill Park.
