RODENT CONTROL PERTH

Rats or mice in your roof or kitchen?

Inspection-led rodent control in Perth for rats and mice. We identify where the activity is concentrated and how they're getting in — then recommend a plan that addresses the source, not just the noise overhead.

FAB rodent treatment: the locked bait station we use (on-screen subtitles)

Fabien shows the tamper-resistant, lockable bait station used in roof voids during FAB rodent treatments.

Read the transcript

I'm getting ready to go inside the roof for a rodent treatment, and this is the box that we are using. It's a tamper-resistant bait station. It's locked, and I'm the only one with the key to open it.

SAFER PLACEMENTS

Locked, tamper-resistant bait stations.

Where baiting is appropriate, FAB uses locked, tamper-resistant stations designed to help reduce the chance of children, pets and non-target animals reaching the bait when installed and used according to the product label.

No station removes every risk, so Fabien explains where each station is placed and what to watch for before he leaves.

Fabien took care of the spider treatment at our properties located in Dianella and we’re very happy with the service. We’ve also had great feedback from our tenants, which is very important to us. He removed all the cobwebs and even sent us before-and-after photos once the job was completed, which we really appreciated. Thanks Fab! Great service and we’ll definitely see you again next time.

No narration. Behind-the-scenes footage: Fabien, wearing a respirator and headlamp, moves across the ceiling joists of a Perth roof void, between roof timbers, insulation batts and air-conditioning ducting, using a torch to inspect concealed edges and junctions.

ON THE TOOLS

We check beyond what you can see.

Rodents nest and travel in concealed spaces. Fabien physically moves through these areas with a torch to find activity and entry points, so your report reflects what is really happening.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

What a FAB rodent inspection covers.

FAB rodent treatment: inspection, entry points and roof evidence (on-screen subtitles)

Fabien explains how FAB's rodent programs start with a property inspection, entry-point identification and roof-void photo evidence.

Read the transcript

For rodent treatment, the way we operate, step one is the inspection. We need to understand where the rodents are coming from, so we inspect all around the house, your shed and inside the garage. The second part is finding and identifying the entry points or sources that can attract rats, such as trees and conducive conditions — like a leaking tap or the hot water system. The third step is going through your roof and collecting as much evidence as we can to show our customer. As a customer you don't know exactly what's going on in the roof void, so we take pictures of the evidence to show you. It's not just about placing bait — it's understanding where they are coming from. In this package we have the first visit, and the second is the follow-up visit, where we reassess activity and service the bait stations.

Inspection areas

  • Accessible roof void and ceiling manholes.
  • Sub-floor spaces, vents and access points.
  • Kitchens, pantries and garages.
  • Perimeter, eaves and roofline penetrations.

Evidence and contributing conditions

  • Runways, droppings and gnaw marks.
  • Entry points around plumbing, cabling and vents.
  • Nesting material in insulation or stored items.
  • Food, shelter and vegetation contributing to recurrence.

The aim is to understand where activity is concentrated and how rodents are getting in, so treatment reflects the actual problem.

FEATURED PROGRAM

The Two-Stage Rodent Program — $390 inc GST

The inspection Fabien describes in the video is the first stage of this program. It is recommended for higher activity, where a single visit is unlikely to be enough.

  • Up to 6 tamper-resistant stations positioned across roof, interior and/or exterior areas as appropriate.
  • Includes a scheduled follow-up visit to reassess activity and transition, remove or replace bait as required by the treatment program and product directions.
  • Entry points noted and photographed.

    Share where the noises are, what you've noticed, and whether DIY products have been used.

  2. 02

    Inspect the property

    We check the roof void, sub-floor, kitchen and perimeter to understand where activity is concentrated and how rodents are getting in.

  3. 03

    Explain the findings

    You receive a clear explanation of what was found and a recommended treatment approach for the affected areas.

  4. 04

    Control work and documentation

    Fabien carries out the agreed control work and you receive findings and prevention guidance in writing.

RESPONSIBLE RODENT CONTROL

What the 2026 rodenticide changes mean.

In March 2026, the APVMA introduced tighter interim controls and extra use instructions for some second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides. The aim is to reduce risks to people, pets and non-target wildlife while the broader review continues.

FAB assesses the activity, property conditions and surrounding risks before recommending an appropriate approach. Depending on the site, this may include monitoring, trapping, compliant baiting, entry-point recommendations and follow-up rather than relying on one product alone.

Any rodenticide used by FAB will be selected and applied in accordance with the current product label and applicable APVMA directions.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What to expect — and why rodents come back.

Rodents follow food, shelter and easy access. What you notice — a sound overhead, droppings in a cupboard — is usually the visible part of a larger picture that includes entry points and harbourage areas you can't see. Roof rats are commonly associated with ceiling voids, wall cavities and stored items in Perth homes, and activity overhead often points to an accessible entry along the roofline, eaves or a vent.

Placing a bait block in a cupboard can knock down a single visitor, but it doesn't address the gap they came through or the conditions supporting them. Left untreated, activity can also damage insulation, wiring and stored belongings. That's why the right approach depends on the layout, the extent of activity and how rodents are getting in.

Signs there may be rodents on the property

  • Scratching or scurrying noises in the roof, walls or sub-floor.
  • Droppings in cupboards, pantries or along wall edges.
  • Gnaw marks on packaging, timber, wiring or plastics.
  • Chewed food packets or an unexplained pet-food shortage.
  • A musty or ammonia-like smell in enclosed spaces.
  • Sightings of a rat or mouse, especially near dusk or after dark.

Conditions that keep activity going

  • Unsealed entry points along eaves and rooflines
  • Gaps around plumbing, cable and vent penetrations
  • Sub-floor access and disturbed ventilation covers
  • Pet food, bird seed or compost left accessible
  • Overhanging vegetation and dense garden edges
  • Untreated harbourage in sheds and storage areas

Preparing for your rodent service

Preparation depends on access requirements. Where possible, please ensure the ceiling manhole and any sub-floor access points are reachable and clear on the day. If you've been using DIY bait or traps, let FAB know so the findings can be interpreted accurately.

If activity keeps returning, request rodent control and we'll explain what we find.

FAQS

Common rodent questions.

Why do I keep hearing noises in my roof at night?

Scratching, scurrying or thumping noises overhead are commonly associated with roof rats moving through the ceiling void. Fabien checks what is present, where activity is concentrated and how rodents may be getting in.

Will bait alone solve the problem?

Bait can reduce activity, but on its own it doesn't address how rodents are getting in or the conditions supporting them. Long-term results usually depend on identifying entry points and contributing factors alongside treatment.

Is rodent bait safe around children and pets?

FAB uses lockable bait stations and tamper-resistant placements where appropriate, and will explain what's being used and where. Always follow the instructions provided before and after the service.

How long does it take to resolve a rodent problem?

That depends on the species, extent of activity, entry points and property layout. FAB will explain expected timeframes and whether follow-up visits are recommended after the assessment.

Do I need to move things out of my roof or sub-floor?

Preparation depends on access requirements. FAB will let you know before the visit if any specific access or preparation is needed.

Can rodents actually damage my home?

Rodents can damage wiring, insulation and stored items, and their activity in ceiling voids or sub-floors is worth addressing rather than ignoring. An inspection helps identify the extent.

Why do rodents keep coming back after previous treatments?

Recurring activity usually points to unresolved entry points or ongoing food and shelter conditions. FAB looks at the whole picture rather than treating the same visible problem repeatedly.

How much does rodent control cost?

FAB offers four programs: the Roof Rodent Program at $195 inc GST (roof void placements only), the Full Property Rodent Program at $295 inc GST (roof void treatment plus up to 3 tamper-resistant stations), the Two-Stage Rodent Program at $390 inc GST (up to 6 stations plus a scheduled follow-up visit) and the Annual Rodent Management Program at $1,080 inc GST (up to 8 stations with quarterly servicing for 12 months). Additional rodent stations are $28 inc GST each where required for very large properties or additional risk areas. Standard pricing applies to typical residential homes; acreage, multi-structure, commercial or difficult-access properties may require a confirmed quote.
