Rats or mice in your home? Martin Pest Control eliminates them fast — same day service available. Do not attempt DIY rodent control — supermarket baits rarely eliminate the full colony and improper placement puts children and pets at risk. Our APVMA-certified technicians use professional-grade, multi-dose baiting systems and tamper-proof stations to eliminate rodent infestations completely and safely.

Health Warning: Rats and mice carry serious diseases including salmonella, leptospirosis and hantavirus, all of which can be transmitted through droppings, urine and direct contact. They also gnaw through electrical wiring — a leading cause of house fires. If you hear scratching in your roof or walls at night, do not delay. Call a licensed professional immediately.

Found a massive hive under our eaves on a Sunday. Martin had a technician at our door within three hours. Professional, thorough and the hive was completely removed. Outstanding service — would not hesitate to call again.

Reasonable pricing, same-day response and the job was done properly first time. They inspected our full roof cavity, not just the visible nest. The technician explained every step clearly before starting. Very professional.

My daughter is severely allergic to bee stings so I was extremely worried. Martin came the same afternoon, treated the area with great care and gave us a full prevention report. I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough.

Act Quickly

A Single Pair of Rats Can Produce Up to 2,000 Offspring in One Year

Rodent populations grow exponentially. What starts as scratching in the roof at night becomes a full colony inside your walls within weeks. Melbourne’s older housing and established gardens create perfect breeding conditions year-round. The sooner you call, the less damage — and the lower the cost.

Don't Wait

Rodents Chew Through Wiring, Pipes and Insulation Every Night

Every night rodents are active in your roof, they are gnawing through electrical cables, contaminating insulation with urine and droppings, and breeding. Structural damage, house fires and health risks all increase the longer the infestation is left untreated. Call us the moment you hear them.

Prevention

How to Prevent Rodent Infestations

Never Rely on Supermarket Baits Alone

Over-the-counter poisons may catch a few rodents but won't eliminate a colony nesting in your roof or subfloor. Improper baiting also creates a serious secondary poisoning risk for pets.

No loose bait without stations
No ignoring scratching sounds
No pet food left out

1
Seal All Entry Points

Rats can squeeze through a gap the size of a 20-cent coin — mice through even smaller. Seal gaps around pipes, cables and vents with steel wool and appropriate caulk. Install door seals on exterior doors and mesh screens on subfloor and roof vents.

2
Remove Food & Water Sources

Store all food — including pet food — in sealed airtight containers. Remove rubbish daily, keep bin lids firmly closed and fix any dripping taps or pooling water around the property. Rodents need very little to survive and will return if food is accessible.

3
Reduce Shelter & Harbourage

Clear dense garden beds, stacked timber and debris away from external walls. Rodents nest in undisturbed clutter. Keep garages, sheds and subfloor areas tidy and inspect them regularly for signs of activity — droppings, gnaw marks or grease trails along walls.

4
Act at the First Sign

Scratching in the roof at night, a single dropping in the pantry or gnaw marks on a food packet are all early warnings. Call us immediately — treating a small, early infestation costs a fraction of treating an established colony and prevents serious structural damage.

The most common signs include scratching or scurrying noises in the roof void or walls at night, small dark droppings in the pantry, cupboards or along skirting boards, gnaw marks on food packaging or timber, greasy rub marks along walls and pipes where rodents run regularly, and a persistent musky odour. If you notice any of these, call us immediately — rodent populations double quickly once established.
Yes — the species determines where we bait, how we bait and what product we use. Roof rats (black rats) nest high up in roof voids and wall cavities. Norway rats (brown rats) prefer subfloors, burrows and ground level. House mice are more widespread and enter through much smaller gaps. Our technician identifies the species on inspection and tailors the baiting strategy accordingly — a one-size approach simply does not work.
Yes. We use professional multi-dose rodenticide placed exclusively inside tamper-proof, lockable bait stations that children and pets physically cannot access. Our multi-dose approach also significantly reduces secondary poisoning risk — unlike single-feed supermarket baits that contain a lethal dose in a single feed and pose a much higher risk if a pet finds a dead rodent.
Most infestations are fully controlled within 14 to 28 days of treatment. Rodents are initially cautious around new objects and may take a few days before feeding on bait stations. You may still hear some activity in the first week — this is normal. If activity continues beyond 14 days after bait acceptance, call us and we will return under your 6-month warranty.
Rodents that die in accessible areas such as the subfloor can be retrieved. Those that die inside wall cavities or the roof void may not be immediately accessible. A faint odour is normal for one to two weeks as the carcass decomposes — this is temporary. We advise on deodorising options and will assist with carcass retrieval where access is possible. We are transparent about this upfront so there are no surprises.
Cost depends on property size, infestation severity and the number of bait stations required. A standard residential treatment covering roof void, subfloor and internal areas comes with a 6-month warranty included. We provide a fully itemised, upfront quote after a free on-site inspection — no call-out fee, no hidden charges, no surprises.
Yes — every rodent treatment includes a 6-month warranty. If rodent activity returns within the warranty period, we come back and re-treat at no additional cost. We also provide entry-point advice as part of every job, which significantly reduces the chance of re-infestation from neighbouring properties or new rodents entering from outside.
