Rat Proofing Melbourne Homes: Seal the Way In
Baiting removes the rats and mice you have today. Rodent proofing stops the next ones. Rodent exclusion means finding every gap they use and closing it with materials they cannot chew through.
We map the entry points on the roof line, eaves, weep holes, pipes and doors, seal them with steel mesh and commercial sealant, and document every sealed point with photos.

Common Questions
Still unsure? Describe what you heard, saw, found or smelled.
How much does rodent proofing cost in Melbourne?
Treatment plus sealing of the priority entry points starts from $329, and full entry point proofing from $449, depending on the number of gaps, roof height and access. You get a written quote before any work starts.
What is rodent exclusion?
Rodent exclusion finds every gap rats and mice use to get inside and seals it with materials they cannot chew, such as steel mesh and commercial sealant, so new rodents cannot move in.
Do I still need treatment if you proof the house?
Usually yes. Any rats or mice already inside are treated first, then the gaps are sealed so they cannot be replaced by new ones.
Do you guarantee rodent proofing?
Yes. Documented sealed points carry a 12 month written warranty. If rodents come back through a point we sealed, we return and fix it.
Can you proof a roof I cannot access?
In most cases yes. We check the roof line, eaves and subfloor from safe access points and tell you before starting if anything needs a specialist.
