Some Common Rodents in Melbourne
Norway Rats/ Brown Rats
Norway rats are one of the most common species of rodents and usually known as brown rats. They have hard and thick skin with coarse fur having different colors like brown to gray. These species are famous for rapid reproduction allowing them to form a large network of offspring within communities, basements, and sewers.
Norway rats can harm both commercial and residential properties in Melbourne. These are dangerous and usually active at night to damage the wires and pipelines of your home. Norway rats can spread different diseases such as parasite.
House Mice
House mice are commonly found in both indoor and outdoor spaces. They have around 8-10 mm weight and have a long tail as long as their body which can help them to maintain the balance when they climb. They usually eat cereals, grains, animal food, fruit, and nuts. House mice have sharp pointed eyes with soft hairy skin that can vary in light brown and gray colors.
To get rid of these unwanted intruders, Zap It recommends hiring their exterminators to eliminate house mouse infestations to save your indoor or outdoor surroundings.
Roof Rats / Black Rats
Roof rats, also known as black rats, are the second most common species in Melbourne. They are also known as “ship rats”. These rodents are incredibly adaptable, they are often found on roofs because of their exceptional climbing abilities. They might spend their whole lives without ever touching the whole ground.
Norway and roof rats might look similar but you can differentiate them by looking at their tails. If the length of the tail is bigger than the head and body then it is a roof rat. If the tail is smaller than the head and body it is a Norway rat.
Wood Mouse
Wood mouse is another type of rodent and it is also found in Melbourne. It is also known as the field mouse. It is similar in size and looks like a house mouse but has various light colors such as light brown and orange. They spend their days exploring gardens and fields in search of food but in winters they might become your unwanted guests. As compared to house mice, they are less likely to live indoors except in winter when they come indoors from tiny holes to find shelter and food. Zap It ensures pest free services to eliminate rodents to seal off entry points and prevent their access to infrastructures.

Frequently Asked Commercial Pest Questions
How do I get rid of rodents ASAP?
Seal food, set multiple snap traps in high-activity zones (not just near droppings, use wall edges), and deploy instant-kill electronic traps overnight. Meanwhile, find and block entry points before baiting, if not, you will only trap one while five others return.
What do rodents hate most?
They hate unpredictable change. Move furniture, clean with strong-scented oils like eucalyptus, and frequently shift traps, they rely on scent trails and hate disrupted terrain. A suddenly clean and shifting environment can spook them out temporarily.
What is the most effective rodent repellent?
For Melbourne homes, a combo works best: ultrasonic plug-ins plus peppermint oil + crushed garlic in mesh sachets near entry zones. But repellents alone are useless without sanitation and sealing gaps under 6mm.
How to get rid of mice with vinegar?
Soak cotton balls in white vinegar mixed with clove oil and place in dark corners. It irritates their nasal passages. But it is not a kill method, use this to push them toward traps or away from specific rooms.
How do I get rid of mice in my house ASAP?
Think like a mouse. Block all food access, every crumb, every cereal box. Then use a triple-threat approach: (1) snap traps with Nutella, (2) steel wool in wall holes, (3) ultrasonic deterrents. For fastest results, reset traps every 4–6 hours.
Why do mice suddenly disappear from the house?
Either a predator moved in (cat, snake, or even you), or you have unintentionally blocked their food and water routes. Sometimes, neighbours using poison can displace them. But do not relax, if gaps are unsealed, they will be back.
Are mice in the walls dangerous?
Yes. Apart from chewing wires (a major fire hazard), their urine seeps into plaster, creating long-term odour and mould issues. In Melbourne’s older weatherboard homes, wall cavities are their favourite nesting sites.
How do I get rid of mice overnight?
Use pre-baited snap traps (no spring load for first 6 hrs), then arm them with Nutella or dried fruit at dusk. Place traps perpendicular to walls in pantry corners and under sinks. You will often catch 2–3 the first night if baited correctly.
Can you get sick from mice in your house?
Yes, especially in humid Melbourne conditions. Their droppings carry salmonella and hantavirus particles that can go airborne. Risk spikes during vacuuming or sweeping, always disinfect first with an enzyme cleaner before touching.
10. Should I throw away clothes with mouse droppings?
If they are lightly soiled, wash in hot water with vinegar and antibacterial detergent. But if fabric is porous (like wool or baby clothes), it is safer to bin it. Droppings can embed in fibres and survive mild washes.
