Rat and Mice Control in Brisbane and Ipswich suburbs
Rodents throughout your home can cause great damage and leave you open for the risk of fires as they gnaw through plastic electrical boxes. They gnaw on hard objects to cut back their incisor teeth.
Rats can also cause severe health risks as they live in unsanitary places and are known to carry serious diseases to humans from their droppings and incontinence.
How to Get Rid of Mice and Rats
When you hear the word “Rodents” you are generally talking about three types that you will experience within your home:
- the Roof Rat (Black rat)
- the Sewer Rat (Brown rat) and
- the Common House Mouse.
The most effective approach for getting rid of a rat or mouse infestation is a systematic and thorough process. Outlined below are the steps we would typically follow.
Our Process for Rodent Extermination
Inspection
The first step is to thoroughly inspect the premises to identify the extent of the infestation, entry points, and areas of high activity.
This will help determine the best course of action.
Exclusion
Next, we identify all possible entry points to prevent rats or mice from entering or re-entering the property. This might include having a registered builder or even a DIY homeowner repair holes in walls, roofs, or foundations, and installing door sweeps and weather stripping.
Sanitation
Good sanitation practices can help to reduce food and water sources for rodents. We advise our clients to keep their premises clean and free of clutter, cleaning and repairing broken down pipes and guttering, properly store food, and promptly dispose of trash.
Baiting
The correct use and placement of baits, bait stations and tamper proof feeding stations are the most cost effective and environmentally responsible way of gaining not just short term, but long term control of rodent populations. As Xtermin8er Termite and Pest Control are fully licenced and insured you, your family’s health and well-being are assured.
Monitoring
Once the infestation is under control, we continue to monitor the premises to ensure that rats or mice do not return. This might include regular inspections and implementing ongoing exclusion and sanitation practices with prompt action taken to ensure the baiting systems are fully operational.
Getting rid of a rat or mouse infestation requires a combination of prevention, exclusion, trapping and monitoring. As a professional pest control technician we have the training and experience necessary to effectively and safely address rodent infestations.baiting

Rat Fact
Did you know rats use their urine to leave trail tracks throughout the premises to find their way in the dark? Rodents are solely responsible for the transmission of the Bubonic Plague that decimated the human race in the 14th Century.
How to identify the type of rodent
Identification of the type of rodents you are dealing with are easily detected through the difference in their faecal droppings.
