Why inner-south properties are high risk
Shared party walls let mice move between terraces without crossing exposed ground.
Late-night food waste from Acland Street and Fitzroy Street venues supports rat foraging in laneways behind homes.
Older slate and terracotta roofs harbour possums that homeowners mistake for rats until droppings are compared.
Distinguishing possums from rodents

Possum droppings are larger and often found on deckings near entry holes; rat droppings are smaller and tapered.

Melbourne’s mix of weatherboard cottages, brick veneer units, and new estates on former farmland means rodent pressure varies street by street. We tailor bait placement, trap types, and exclusion materials to your building age, roof type, and neighbouring land use rather than applying a one-size-fits-all spray-and-go visit.
If you hear activity after hours, notice a sudden spike in droppings, or spot possums on the roofline at dusk, early intervention limits damage to insulation, wiring, and food stores. Delaying treatment often turns a single entry point into multiple nests across wall cavities and subfloors.
What to expect on the first visit
A typical first appointment includes a roof-space and subfloor inspection where access allows, identification of species, mapping of entry points, installation of lockable bait stations or traps, and a written plan for follow-up. Most suburban jobs include at least one return visit to rebait, remove carcasses, and confirm activity has dropped.
Prevention between professional treatments
- Store bins away from doors and keep lids sealed overnight.
- Remove fallen fruit and secure compost with rodent-proof mesh.
- Trim branches that bridge the roofline from neighbouring trees.
- Seal obvious gaps around pipes, air-conditioning penetrations, and damaged vents.
- Report maintenance issues to landlords promptly if you rent.
