Rats are one of the most common pests in Melbourne, and they can be a serious nuisance. Not only do they carry diseases that can be harmful to humans, but they also cause damage to property by gnawing on electrical wires and chewing through food packaging. In addition, rats are known to be aggressive, and they will attack people and pets if they feel threatened. In Melbourne, Rat infestation has been linked with several outbreaks of Rat-borne diseases including Rat Bite Fever (RBF) and Hantavirus. As a result, it is important to take steps to get rid of rats in Melbourne homes as soon as possible before they turn into large numbers and destroy food sources.

In Melbourne, the most common types of rodents include house mice, roof rats, and Norway rats. These rodents can vary in size, behavior, and habitat preferences, but all can become significant pests when they infest homes and businesses.

Signs of a rat or mice infestation include the presence of live rodents, droppings resembling rice grains or pellets, gnaw marks on food packaging or property, nests made of shredded materials, and grease marks along walls or baseboards. You may also hear scratching or scurrying noises in walls, ceilings, or attics.

Yes, rats and mice can pose significant health risks to humans.
