Scratching in the ceiling at night, droppings in the pantry or chewed wiring in the shed are the usual signs that rats or mice have moved in. Rodent calls pick up across Mornington Peninsula from autumn, when the nights cool and they look for somewhere warm near food. We take the details, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
The crew we book starts by working out where the rodents are living and how they get in. On the peninsula that often means gaps where pipes and cables enter the wall, loose roof tiles, vents under the floor and openings around sheds and garages. Fruit trees, chook pens, compost bins and stored feed all draw them in.
- Inspection of the roof space, subfloor, garage and garden
- Lockable bait stations placed out of the way of pets and children
- Traps inside where baiting is not the right choice
- Advice on gaps and entry points to seal up
- Tips on food, feed and rubbish storage to cut down on activity
Rodent work often takes more than one visit. The crew will check how much bait has been taken and whether traps need moving. They will tell you what the plan is and what any extra visit would cost before it is booked. Keep pets away from any station, and tell the crew if you have dogs that dig or chew.
If you live on acreage around Mornington Peninsula, tell us about sheds, stables or feed rooms when you call, since those areas can need extra stations. To book a rodent visit, call 03 9022 1297 and describe what you have heard or seen. We will give you upfront pricing and find a crew with room in their run.
