Our Professional Rodent Treatment
Attempting to deal with a rodent problem on your own can often be ineffective and potentially raise safety concerns.
There are a number of different pest rodents (rats and mice), each with their different behaviours, which influence the choice of best control methods.
Whether using poison baits or traps, there are significant safety considerations when using around children and pets. It is also important to ensure you don’t harm any native animals.
Protect your family and your home by getting the job done right the first time. Call in the professionals at Pink Pest Control and we’ll take care of your rodent problem using the most effective, safest and quickest methods available, tailored to the rodent species present and your situation.
Our treatment process:
• Carry out a complete inspection to determine the species present, nature of the problem and identify any entry points
• Determine which risk factors are present in your home so suitable safe treatment methods can be implemented
• Safely employ the latest control measures
• Strategically place bait stations where they are most effective and inaccessible by children and pets
• Depending on the size of the problem and nature of the treatment, return visits may be required
• Possible rodent entry points will be identified so that you can take steps to seal them off – vital for preventing future rodent problems
Just give us a try and we’ll give you a rodent-free home!
What to expect?
Eliminating a “standard” rodent problem will often take 1-2 weeks. For larger infestations, especially with rats, control may take much longer.
Modern rodent baits take at least 4-7 days to take effect, once the rodent has eaten the bait (and rodents don’t always eat the bait straight away). Rats in particular are neophobic, which means they don’t like new things. As such it can often take several days for rats to get used to the bait in its environment, before it starts to feed.
If there is a very significant infestation, it may be necessary to re-bait stations every 1-2 weeks, to make sure all the population has fed on the bait.
It is a bit of a myth that rodents die outside. If a baiting treatment is in place, it is important to check inside and outside your home each day for dead rodents. If a dead rodent is spotted, pick up wearing gloves, place in a plastic bag and place in the garbage.
Pink Pest Services guarantee we will eliminate your rodent problem. However, although we cannot guarantee you won’t get a new rodent problem in the future, if you implement our rodent proofing techniques and prevention measures, the chances of a future rodent infestation are dramatically reduced.

Key rodent facts
The two key pest rat species are the roof or black rat (Rattus rattus) and the Norway or brown rat (Rattus norvegicus)
Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as the end of your thumb, mice through gaps as small as the end of your little finger!
There are a number of native animals that can be confused with pest rodents, including native rats, Antechinus and sometimes possums. It is illegal to kill native animals or trap native animals without a license.
Rats tend to be neophobic (frightened of new things); mice tend to be inquisitive.
In addition to noises in the roof / walls and any droppings you may spot, there are three tell-tale signs you may have a rodent infestation
• Burrows dug into the ground: look for hard-packed dirt around the openings, especially near concrete slabs, fences, or materials you have stored outdoors
• Gnawed wood or plastic: a mouse’s incisor teeth grow continuously and they gnaw on wood to wear them down
• Shredded material such as paper: this is likely sign that mice are making nests on your property.
