Melbourne and Geelong

Rodents are not charming creatures. Rats and mice are disease-carrying pests that can wreak havoc on your food and property.

These pests carry diseases such as dysentery, leptospirosis, and typhus fever. They can introduce fleas, ticks, lice, and mites into your home. Their urine and droppings can spoil food, and their habit of chewing through electrical cables poses a significant fire hazard.

If you detect the sound of scurrying in your attic, discover chewed-up boxes in your cupboards, or find droppings in your pantry, chances are you’re facing a rodent issue that demands swift action!

Pest Control Masters specializes in eradicating and preventing rodent problems in residential, commercial, and rural settings throughout Melbourne and Geelong. We have the expertise you need to address this nuisance promptly.

Roof Sounds: Rats tend to be noisy when moving around in the roof, while mice are quieter.

Droppings: Rodents leave clusters of oblong-shaped droppings. Rat droppings can be up to 19 mm long, while mice droppings are thinner and shorter, measuring up to 7 mm.

Damage: Chewed boxes or food packets are clear signs of rodent presence. They also gnaw on hard materials to keep their teeth in check.

Footprints: In dusty areas, it’s possible to spot their footprints and tail marks.

Nests: Rats and mice collect soft materials like insulation, paper, and grass to construct their nests.

Burrows: These rodents dig burrows, often in raised banks with vegetation for protection.

Odors: In established infestations with nearby nests, a strong urine smell can be evident.

Rub Marks: Over time, rodents create runways they frequently traverse. At the points where these runways meet walls, you might find oil rub marks from their fur making contact with surfaces.

These signs can help identify potential rodent issues in your home or property, and Pest Control Masters is here to assist in addressing them promptly.
