Why are Rodents So Active in Perth?
Have you ever been faced with returning rodent activity? You’re not alone. Many Perth property owners find themselves dealing with these pests on a frequent basis. This is especially prevalent during Perth’s warmer months, as the infestations get significantly worse.
Spring and Summer provide uncomfortable weather conditions for rodents. As many prefer to seek shaded regions for their livelihood, including food, warmth and nesting sites. As a result, many may find rodent activity in the interior, including walls, basements and under flooring. Instead, the warmer months cause rodents to hide in outdoor areas, often sourcing abundant food and shelter.

- Allergen Buildup: Droppings and urine build-up over time. This creates respiratory hazards and can trigger allergic reactions in the household.

Rat Control in Perth
Often mistaken for mice, these large rodents can cause devastating damage. From structural damage, insulation, all the way to wiring. This is because rats are aggressive and intelligent creatures. Also, rats can adapt to any environment, especially when faced with many weather conditions.
In Perth, there are two main rat species that cause issues. Inside of the home, brown rats affect areas like interior walls and roofing. On the other hand, the black rat is known for living outdoors in areas like sewers and sheds.
Explore our rat removals in Perth:
- Targeted Baiting: Our team will install baits to capture these rodents, based on the species. For example, foods like peanut butter attract brown rats, and fruits and vegetables attract black rats.
- Rat Trap: We strategically place snap traps or live-catch traps in high-activity areas. These traps provide immediate results, helping us monitor infestation levels effectively.
- Exclusion Techniques: We seal entry points like gaps in walls, vents, and pipes using durable materials like steel wool. By stopping rodents from entering your home, this prevents any issues.
Mice Control in Perth
While mice are the rats’ smaller counterpart, this rodent is stronger than it seems. Its ability to grow rapidly means that it can cause major property damage, and health hazards sooner. From contaminating food, to nesting inside walls. No matter where you are in Perth, this creature has the ability to invade both metro and suburban regions with ease.
For Perth residents, there are two species of mice more likely to enter their homes. The house mouse-as implied by its name is indoors, residing in areas like the kitchen and walls. However, the field mouse is commonly found in rural areas, nesting in agriculture.
See our mouse control in Perth:
- Low-toxicity Baiting: To capture mice, we place baits around areas of the property where there is high activity. Our mice exterminators in Perth use non-toxic ingredients to not harm the mice, animals or insects nearby.
- Secure Traps: Our mice removal in Perth involves placing snap traps or humane traps along walls and pest entry points. These safe, enclosed devices protect children and pets while controlling the mice.
- Prevention Strategies: We seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and pipes. Our team does this through using durable materials like weather stripping, steel mesh, and caulking.
Possum Control in Perth
Given that possums are under WA Wildlife laws, our removals strictly meet these. This is because possums are native, and as a result, protected under the Bio Diversity Conservation Act of 2016. All while effectively removing a possum presence from your home. Unlike other rodent removals, we hone in on “non-harmful” removals and relocations.
See how we remove possums in Perth:
- Safe Possum Capture: To contain possums without causing harm, we use methods like fruit baited traps to attract possums. Once done, we’ll carefully relocate the rodent within 50 metres of the property to ensure compliant practices. This provides this creature with a safe habitat to reside in.
- Roof-proofing: After removing the possum, we seal all entry points using durable, wildlife-safe materials. Our team inspects your roof for gaps, broken tiles, and openings around eaves or vents to keep your home possum-free.
- Exclusion services: We install one-way doors and barriers at access points. This allows possums to exit safely but not to re-enter. This encourages natural relocation and provides a humane, long-term solution that meets WA wildlife regulations.

- Maintain Clean Spaces: If there’s any food lying around, it’s important that this is cleaned and put away properly. This can mean storing pantry items away carefully in closed containers. Alongside this, keep storage areas, like garages or sheds clutter free. As rodents are attracted to these environments.
