1800 801 223Rodent Treatments
Rodents such as mice and rats are some of the most destructive and unhygienic pests found in homes and businesses. They can gnaw through furniture, walls, and even electrical wiring, causing damage that can lead to costly repairs or fire hazards. In addition to property damage, rodents contaminate food and surfaces with harmful bacteria that can spread disease.
At Trusted Pest Management, we offer fast, effective, and eco-friendly rodent control solutions that protect your home or business from these unwanted intruders. Our team uses safe, humane, and proven methods to remove existing infestations and prevent them from returning.
Mice and Rats
Mice and rats are highly adaptable pests that can survive in almost any environment once they gain access to food, water, and shelter. They breed rapidly, which means small problems can escalate into major infestations in a short time. These rodents can spread diseases such as salmonella and leptospirosis, as well as cause serious electrical and structural damage.
Our trained technicians begin by inspecting your property to identify nesting sites and entry points. Once assessed, we apply targeted control measures such as bait stations, traps, and exclusion barriers. All products used are low tox, food safe, and designed to minimise risk to children, pets, and wildlife.
Common Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Rodents are mostly active at night, which means you might not see them directly. However, there are several signs that can indicate their presence:
- Scratching or scurrying noises in walls, ceilings, or under floors
- Chewed wires, insulation, or food packaging
- Droppings around cupboards, skirting boards, or storage areas
- A strong, musty odour caused by urine and nesting materials
- Greasy rub marks along walls or behind appliances
- Shredded paper or fabric used to build nests
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s best to arrange a professional inspection before the problem worsens.
Possum Control
Possums are a common pest across Australia, especially in areas where their natural habitat overlaps with residential properties. These nocturnal marsupials often take refuge in roof spaces or sheds when food or shelter is easily available. While generally not aggressive, they can cause damage to insulation and wiring, and carry diseases such as salmonella and leptospirosis.
Our team provides humane and environmentally responsible possum removal services, followed by proofing solutions to stop them from returning. To learn more about our approach, visit our dedicated Possum and Bird Control page.
How We Treat and Prevent Rodent Infestations
Trusted Pest Management begins with a detailed inspection to identify entry points, nesting sites, and the extent of rodent activity. Once we understand the problem, our technicians apply a combination of targeted baits, traps, and exclusion methods to remove the infestation safely and effectively.
We use child, food, and pet-safe treatments that comply with strict Australian standards. After the treatment, our team provides practical advice to help prevent future infestations, including sealing entry points, maintaining cleanliness, and scheduling regular inspections.
With more than 20 years of experience, Trusted Pest Management delivers safe, reliable rodent control services across Brisbane and Sydney, helping you maintain a clean, pest-free environment.
