Rat & mouse control
in Newcastle
Scratching in the roof or droppings in the cupboard? We bait, trap and seal the entry points to clear rats and mice — and keep them out.
Rats & mice, gone for good
Quick answer: Rat & mouse control in Newcastle with Kapow starts at a fixed $120 for a standard Newcastle home, is backed by a 3-month warranty, and can be booked online in about 60 seconds.
Rodents are more than a nuisance — they gnaw through wiring (a genuine fire risk), contaminate food and insulation, and breed astonishingly fast. Mice can squeeze through a gap the width of a pencil, so even a tidy home can get a visitor as the weather cools.
We don't just drop a few baits and leave. We find how they're getting in, set tamper-proof, pet-aware baiting and trapping, and seal the entry points so the problem is actually solved.
Signs of rodents
Catch them early — a pair can become dozens in months.
Droppings
Dark, rice-grain droppings in cupboards, drawers, the pantry or roof void.
Gnaw marks
Chewed packaging, skirting, cables and small gnaw holes around the home.
Night noises
Scratching, scurrying or squeaking in walls and ceilings after dark.
Nests & rub marks
Nests of shredded material and greasy rub marks along regular runways.

See your fixed price, pick a time and lock it in — all online in about a minute.
Is baiting safe around pets and kids?
Yes. We use tamper-proof, lockable bait stations placed out of reach, and can lean on trapping where that suits your home better.
What about a dead rodent smell?
We place baits and traps to minimise this, target activity at the source, and advise on the rare cases where access is needed.
Do you seal the entry points?
Yes — proofing accessible gaps is part of the job, because baiting without sealing just invites the next ones in.
How long does it take?
Activity usually drops within days. Your job includes a free re-treat within 14 days if anything's still about.
How much does rodent control cost?
Rodent control starts at a fixed $120 for a standard home, confirmed before you book.
