Rats & mice, handled properly

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 assess the activity and set targeted baiting in lockable, tamper-resistant stations — placed where rodents travel and kept safely out of reach of kids and pets.

Is baiting safe around pets and kids?

We place the stations to minimise this, target activity at the source, and advise on the rare cases where access is needed.
How does the baiting work?
We place bait in lockable, tamper-resistant stations along the routes rodents travel. They feed on it and the population eases off over the following days.

Activity usually drops within days as rodents feed on the bait, easing off over the following one to two weeks.
How much does rodent control cost?
Rodent control starts at a fixed $199 for a standard home, confirmed before you book.
