Rodent Pest Control in Melbourne
Why Rodents Are a Serious Problem
Rodents such as rats and mice are more than just unwanted visitors — they can cause structural damage, spread diseases, and contaminate food. Once they enter your property, they multiply rapidly, making early detection and treatment critical.
Some of the most common rodent issues faced by Melbourne residents include gnawed wires, droppings in cupboards, strange noises at night, and damaged food packaging.
Dangers of Rodent Infestation
-
Health Risks: Rodents spread harmful bacteria and viruses such as Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis.
-
Property Damage: They chew through electrical wiring, insulation, and furniture, leading to costly repairs.
-
Contamination: Food and surfaces can become unsafe due to rodent droppings and urine.
-
Rapid Reproduction: A few rodents can turn into a large infestation within weeks.
Rodent Control Process
-
Inspection and Identification
Our experts begin by inspecting your property thoroughly to locate nesting areas, droppings, entry points, and signs of rodent activity. -
Customized Treatment Plan
We develop a targeted control plan using safe baits, traps, and repellents that effectively eliminate rodents without harming pets or children. -
Cleaning and Sanitization
After treatment, we clean the affected areas to remove bacteria, odors, and residue from droppings or nesting material. -
Rodent-Proofing and Prevention
To ensure long-term protection, we seal gaps, repair access points, and give professional advice on how to prevent rodents from returning.
All treatments are eco-safe, family-friendly, and designed for long-lasting protection.
Signs You Might Have a Rodent Problem
-
Scratching or scurrying sounds at night
-
Chewed cables, furniture, or packaging

Small dark droppings in cupboards or along skirting boards

Pets acting unusually alert or anxious near walls or storage areas
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to call Aptive Pest Control — the earlier you act, the easier it is to stop an infestation.
Wasp, Bee & Hornet Control in Melbourne
When Stinging Insects Become a Threat
Wasps, bees, and hornets are beneficial for the environment, but when they build nests near homes or workplaces, they can quickly become dangerous and aggressive. A single sting can cause severe allergic reactions, and disturbing a nest may trigger an attack from an entire swarm.
Common Stinging Insects in Melbourne
In Melbourne, European wasps are among the most aggressive. They are known for building large nests in roofs, trees, and wall cavities. Honey bees, while essential pollinators, can become a hazard when they establish hives inside walls or sheds. Hornets are larger and more aggressive than wasps and may attack if they feel threatened.
Aptive’s Safe and Effective Stinging Insect Removal
-
Inspection and Identification
Our licensed technicians first locate the nest and identify whether it’s wasps, bees, or hornets. This helps us choose the safest and most effective removal method. -
Protective Safety Measures
We use full protective gear and advanced equipment to ensure a safe removal process without risk to residents. -
Eco-Safe Nest Removal
For wasps and hornets, we apply quick-acting treatments that eliminate the nest safely. For bees, we focus on humane relocation, often working with local beekeepers to preserve the colony. -
Prevention and Monitoring
After removal, we apply natural deterrents and offer guidance to prevent re-nesting in the same area.
Our approach is humane, safe, and fully compliant with Australian pest control standards.
Why DIY Pest Control Is Risky
Attempting to remove wasp nests or control rodents on your own can be dangerous and often ineffective.
-
Wasps and hornets can attack aggressively if disturbed.
-
Household sprays or traps may not reach hidden nests or rodent colonies.
-
Incorrect methods can harm pets, children, or even your property.
