Rat and Mouse Control Melbourne
Secure baiting and trapping, plus the entry points that let them in.
⏱ We call you back within 15 minutes · Open 24 hours, 7 days
What is involved
Rodents chew wiring, contaminate food areas and multiply quickly once established in a roof or wall cavity, so knowing the early warning signs of a rodent problem matters. Our approach combines secure baiting or trapping with a proper look at how they are getting in, because removing the current rodents without closing the entry points only buys you a few weeks.
- Roof void, subfloor and perimeter inspection
- Tamper resistant bait stations or snap trapping
- Treatment of internal and external activity areas
- Identification of entry points and proofing recommendations
- Follow up servicing for ongoing or commercial sites

Questions we get asked
How do I know if I have rats or mice?
The usual first signs are scratching in the roof or walls at night, droppings in the pantry or under the sink, and gnaw marks on packaging, timber or cabling.
Rats and mice need different approaches, so we identify which one before we bait or trap.
When are rodents worst in Melbourne?
Activity rises through autumn and winter, when rodents move indoors looking for warmth, and roof voids are usually where homeowners notice them first.
Getting on top of it early in the cold season is much easier than clearing an established population.
What stops rodents coming straight back?
Removing rodents without closing their entry points usually buys a few weeks at most.
Every visit includes entry point advice, so you know exactly which gaps around pipes, vents and rooflines need sealing.
Are the bait stations safe?
We use tamper-resistant bait stations, placed where rodents travel and out of reach of children and pets.
Tell us about pets when you book, and we will plan station placement around them.
Is 4S Pest Control licensed?

Pest control is a licensed trade in Victoria. The Department of Health publishes a public register of licence holders, and you are entitled to ask any technician for their licence number before work begins.
