Professional Rodent Control: Gold Coast, Logan, & South-Brisbane
That scratching, scurrying sound you hear in the ceiling or behind the walls at night is more than just unsettling – it’s a clear sign you have a rodent problem. Rats and mice are more than just a nuisance; they contaminate food surfaces, chew through electrical wiring, and pose a significant health risk to your family. Pesties.au provides a fast, safe, and effective rodent control service to reclaim your home.

The Problem: More Than Just a Noise in the Night
Ignoring a rodent problem is a risk no homeowner should take. Rats and mice can cause serious issues in your home:
- Disease Transmission: Rodents spread diseases like Salmonella through their droppings and urine, contaminating kitchen benchtops, cutlery drawers, and pantry shelves.
- Property Damage: Their constant need to gnaw can lead them to chew through electrical wiring (a serious fire hazard), water pipes, and structural timbers.
- Rapid Infestation: A single pair of rats can produce hundreds of offspring in a year. A small problem can escalate into a major infestation very quickly.
Our 3-Step Professional Rodent Control Process
At Pesties.au, we don’t just set a few traps and hope for the best. Our licensed technicians follow a systematic process to ensure the infestation is dealt with thoroughly and safely.
Step 1: A Thorough Site Inspection
First, we identify the exact nature of your problem. We determine the species (rat or mouse, which require different strategies), locate their main nesting areas, identify their primary runways, and find their likely entry points into your home.
Step 2: Strategic and Safe Baiting
Based on our inspection, we implement a targeted treatment plan. We use high-quality, professional-grade rodent baits placed inside lockable, tamper-resistant bait stations. These stations are secured in areas where rodents travel but are inaccessible to children and pets, such as:
→ Roof voids and subfloors
→ Behind large appliances like fridges and dishwashers
→ In sheds and garages
Step 3: Prevention and Proofing Advice
Once the treatment is in place, our technician will provide you with practical, expert advice on how to make your property less inviting to future rodent invaders. This includes recommendations for sealing entry points, managing potential food and water sources, and simple landscaping changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rodent control treatment safe for my pets and children?
Yes, safety is our absolute priority. We use tamper-resistant bait stations that are specifically designed so that pets and children cannot access the bait inside. The stations are also secured in locations that are out of reach.
Will I have a dead rat smell in my house?
This is a common and valid concern. The modern rodenticides we use are designed to work over several days. This often causes the rodent to feel unwell and leave the building in search of water before it dies. While we can never 100% guarantee a rodent won’t die in a wall cavity, this method significantly reduces the likelihood of it happening.
How long does it take for the treatment to work?
You should notice a significant reduction in activity within the first few days. However, it can take up to two weeks for the baiting program to achieve complete control of the entire population.
Why not just use traps from the hardware store?
Store-bought traps can catch an individual rat or mouse, but they rarely address the entire infestation. A colony can consist of dozens of rodents, and their rapid breeding rate means you are unlikely to solve the problem with traps alone. Professional baiting is the only effective way to eliminate the entire colony.
