FAQs
How do you get rid of rodents?
You may remove rodents from your property using professional help or DIY ideas. If there’s just one rat or mouse on your property, you may buy a trap from the hardware store and have it installed in the area of your home where the rodent is spotted often. You may have to wait for a few days for the rodent to get caught in the trap. If you are lucky, the rodent may be caught within a day. If you are scared of rodents or find many on your property, you will require professional help. You can hire a pest control company to carry out the proper treatment to eradicate all rodents from your home.
Should I do pest control myself?
If you are a DIY enthusiast, you can carry out pest control on your own. You may set up a trap to catch the rodents. You can invest in live traps or snap traps to catch the rodents in your home. If you aren’t comfortable with traps, you can buy baits too. Setting up the baits in the areas of your home where the rodents are found frequently is an intelligent decision. Once the rodents feed on the baits, they will begin to die. You must know that killing the rodents with bait may require plenty of clean-up if the rodents die in your home itself. Also, baits can lead to secondary killing in homes with pets or kids, and hence it is advisable to allow only the experts to carry on the bait installation on your property.
Is it worth getting an exterminator for mice?
Yes. You must hire an exterminator if the infestation issue is too high or the area infested by the mice is too large. Mice and other rodents may enter your home, multiply, and damage your personal belongings. If you do not hire an exterminator on time, the infestation issue can increase to an extent where you will have to invest a hefty amount in removing the rodents from your property. It is advisable to get an exterminator for mice when you see the first signs of them being present in your home or office. Moreover, the exterminator will remove the mice from your property and take care of its hygiene.
Which pest control is best?
There are two reliable methods of removing mice from your property.
1. Mouse Traps
2. Mouse Baits
If you have spotted a mouse in your property repeatedly, it is recommended to get your home inspected by a pest control expert. Only a professional will be able to identify the areas infested and the level of infestation. Depending on what’s best for your home, the expert will suggest a treatment. If there are not many mice on your property, the expert may suggest installing traps. However, if the infestation level is high, the expert may recommend installing mouse baits in various corners of your home.
How do I get rid of rats in my house fast?
The fastest way to remove rats from your property is to poison them. You may also consider starving them by restricting access to food sources like bins, compost overflow, etc. Also, remove broken pipes or pet food to prevent providing food and water to them. Once they find no food source in your property, they may die of starvation or leave your property searching for food. You can also set up traps to catch them. However, when they get caught isn’t something that can be predicted. Another way to quickly remove rats from your home is to hire pest control experts. They will implement effective treatments to help you get rid of rats quickly.
How much does it cost for rodent control?
Rodent Removal services from your home’s indoor and outdoor area may cost around $250 to $300. However, if the area is too large, you may have to pay slightly higher than the said amount.

Get in touch with Tom’s Pest Control Melbourne to book an inspection by our experts. We will visit your property, check for the area thoroughly and provide a quote depending on the infestation level.
What do professional pest control use for rats?
Professional pest control companies control the population of rats in your home by using liquid or gel baits. Baits containing pesticides are installed in various corners of your home for rats to feed on them. Once the rats find these baits, they begin to feed on them. Slowly, the pesticides in the bait react in their bodies, causing them to die. When all rats in your home consume the pesticides, they die, and it becomes easy for professionals to remove them from your property. Baits contain food and pesticides that are tempting to rats.
