Signs Of Rodent Infestation To Look For

Rodents rarely show themselves in the daylight but keep damaging your property. You can simply look for signs of gnawing on food, furniture, electrical wires, water pipes, etc. Whether it is house mice or Norway rats, they leave droppings and greasy marks along the walls and floors.
Also, if you have ever heard the scratching sound in your roof or walls at night, then prepare yourself for rodent extermination. These dangerous mammals are most active during the night. Strong ammonia-like odours from urine in enclosed spaces like cupboards and under sinks are a call for immediate pest control for rodents.

We start our effective rodent removal process with a thorough inspection of the hospital, food manufacturing plant, etc. Our expert pest controllers make sure to mark the rodents’ nesting points from where they enter and exit.
So that their nesting points will be on our target and exterminated from inside the ceiling, walls, and your garden. After that, our team identifies the species of the rodent-like Norway, House, Roof, Water, etc., to ensure the effective and specific treatment for complete eradication and no future infestations.

Safe & Eco-Friendly Rodent Treatment To Eliminate All Pests

Rodents are the fastest-growing and most dangerous mammals in the world. Some species, like black rats, brown rats, and house mice, have become serious pest issues in Melbourne. These species can not only eat spoiled stored food but also spread diseases such as Hantavirus & Salmonellosis.
To save people or their pets from rodent bites and keep them safe from severe health risks. Due to diseases spread by their presence, such as Leptospirosis, Salmonella, and plague, as well as various zoonotic diseases, mouse infestations can cause short circuits or fires.

Zap It Protects You From All Types Of Rodents

Norway Rats Control

Norway rats are the most common species and are known as brown rats. They have hard and thick skin with coarse fur having different colours like brown to grey. Norway rats are famous for rapid reproduction, building a large network of offspring within communities, basements, and sewers. Call Zap It, and don't let them harm your commercial and residential properties.

Roof Rats Extermination

Roof rats, also known as black rats, are the second most common species in Melbourne. They are also known as "ship rats" and are often found on roofs. They can spend their whole lives without ever touching the ground. Roof rats usually damage the ceilings or cause short circuits by eating insulation. Avoid damage costs with our rat control services.

House Mice Removal

House mice are found in both indoor and outdoor spaces. They have a long tail as long as their body, which can help them maintain balance when they climb upward. They are the best climbers and usually eat cereals, grains, pet food, fruits, and nuts. Use our residential and commercial rodent control to get rid of these dangerous, unwanted intruders.

Field Mouse Removal

The wood mouse is also known as the field mouse. They spend days exploring gardens and fields in search of food, but in the winter, they sneak indoors. Field mice are less likely to live indoors except in winter, intruding from tiny holes to find shelter and food. Get all rodents eliminated and entry points sealed to prevent future infestations.

Bush Rat Control

Bush rats are native Australian rodents, usually found in Melbourne's outer suburbs, forests, and bushes. They are not invasive and have shorter tails, rounded ears, and brown-grey fur. Bush rats prefer to live in sheds, garages, and cottages near greener areas. Don't let them risk your pets and children's safety and compromise hygiene with our same-day residential rodent control services.

How Customers Rate Zap It Pest Control Services

Heard Scratching Noises? Don't Panic & Follow These 3 Proven Steps

1

Stop! Don't Use Rat Poison Instantly

Found rodents running across the kitchen or hallway and fresh droppings in the pantry. Stop there, and don't use poison or traps to give them a passage to scatter the colony deep into your roof or walls. Instead, secure the area and call Zap It professional pest controllers immediately.
2

Protect Food & Contain Entry Points

Remove all the food from open shelves and store it in air-tight sealed containers. Wipe out all the food particles left in the kitchen or store room. Now look for visible gaps in skirting boards or under sinks, and keep your pets and children away from the infested areas.
3

Let Zap It Handle The Situation

Now, it is our turn to use our expertise and environmentally friendly bait stations, sprays, non-toxic traps, exclusion methods, etc. So that all the rodents can get killed outside their hiding points. Zap It guarantees complete cleanup of the roofs, ceilings, subfloors, and wall cavities to ensure a rodent-free environment.

Frequently Asked Questions ​

How do I get rid of rodents ASAP?
Seal the food in containers, set multiple snap traps in high-activity zones (not just near droppings around wall edges as well ), and deploy instant-kill electronic traps overnight. Meanwhile, find and block entry points before baiting. If not, you will only trap one while the whole colony remains safe.
They hate unpredictable change. Move furniture, clean it 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.
For Melbourne homes, a combo works best: ultrasonic plug-ins plus peppermint oil + crushed garlic in mesh sachets near entry zones. However, repellents alone are not very effective without sanitation and sealing gaps under 6mm.
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 killing method; use this to push them toward traps or away from specific rooms.
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, and (3) ultrasonic deterrents. For fastest results, reset traps every 4–6 hours.
