Rats & Mice
Rat & Mouse Control in Canberra & Queanbeyan
When Canberra gets cold, rats and mice move into roofs, walls and garages looking for warmth and food. They chew wiring, contaminate food and breed fast. We find how they’re getting in, bait them safely and help you keep them out.

FAQ
Rat & Mouse Control questions
Are rodent baits safe around pets?
We use lockable bait stations that children and pets can’t open, placed in safe positions. We’ll talk you through placement, especially if you have dogs or cats.
When is rodent season in Canberra?
Rodent activity rises from late autumn through winter as the weather cools and rats and mice look for warm shelter indoors.
How long until the rodents are gone?
Most rodent problems settle within one to two weeks of baiting. Blocking entry points stops new rodents moving in.
