Signs You Have a Rodent Problem

Droppings & Urine Trails

Small dark pellets in cupboards, along walls, or in the roof cavity are the most common sign.

Scratching Noises at Night

Rats and mice are nocturnal. Scratching or scurrying in the roof, walls, or under the floor means they're nesting.

Gnaw Marks & Damage

Chewed food packaging, electrical wiring, timber, or plumbing — rodents gnaw constantly to keep their teeth filed down.

Musty Odour or Grease Marks

A strong ammonia-like smell or greasy rub marks along walls and baseboards where rodents travel repeatedly.

Our Approach

How We Eliminate Rodents

Swift, strategic action to halt damage, remove the infestation, and seal your home against re-entry.

1. Thorough Inspection

We conduct a detailed inspection to identify the extent of the infestation, pinpoint entry points, nesting sites, and the species involved — rats and mice require different strategies.

2. Strategic Baiting & Trapping

We install tamper-resistant bait stations and traps in strategic locations. Our program includes the initial setup plus servicing visits and activity checks to ensure complete eradication.

3. Seal & Prevent

Beyond eradication, we help fortify your home by sealing entry points and providing practical advice on maintaining a rodent-free environment. Year-round protection to keep them out for good.

FAQs

Rodent Control Questions

Common signs include droppings (small dark pellets), gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring, scratching noises in the roof or walls — especially at night — greasy rub marks along baseboards, and a strong musty smell. If you spot any of these, call us before they breed up.

Rodents can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps — mice need only a 6mm opening, rats about 20mm. Common entry points include gaps around pipes, damaged roof tiles, weep holes, unsealed vents, and gaps under doors. We inspect and seal these during treatment.

Yes. We use tamper-resistant bait stations that pets and children can't access. Stations are lockable and placed in strategic locations away from high-traffic areas. We'll walk you through everything and let you know if any precautions are needed.

You'll typically see a significant drop in activity within the first week. Our program includes the initial setup plus 2 servicing visits and activity checks to make sure the problem is fully resolved — not just reduced.

Cairns' warm tropical climate and abundant food sources make it ideal for rodent populations year-round. There's no winter die-off like in cooler regions, and the wet season drives rodents indoors seeking dry shelter. Regular management is essential up here.

Absolutely. Rats and mice gnaw constantly — they can chew through electrical wiring (a fire risk), plumbing, insulation, timber framing, and even concrete over time. They also contaminate food, spread diseases, and can cause significant structural damage if left unchecked.
