WHAT WE LOOK FOR

What a FAB rodent inspection covers.

Inspection areas

  • Accessible roof void and ceiling manholes.
  • Sub-floor spaces, vents and access points.
  • Kitchens, pantries and garages.
  • Perimeter, eaves and roofline penetrations.

Evidence and contributing conditions

  • Runways, droppings and gnaw marks.
  • Entry points around plumbing, cabling and vents.
  • Nesting material in insulation or stored items.
  • Food, shelter and vegetation contributing to recurrence.

The aim is to understand where activity is concentrated and how rodents are getting in, so treatment reflects the actual problem.

    We check the roof void, sub-floor, kitchen and perimeter to understand where activity is concentrated and how rodents are getting in.

  3. 03

    Explain the findings

    You receive a clear explanation of what was found and a recommended treatment approach for the affected areas.

  4. 04

    Control work and documentation

    Fabien carries out the agreed control work and you receive findings and prevention guidance in writing.

RESPONSIBLE RODENT CONTROL

What the 2026 rodenticide changes mean.

In March 2026, the APVMA introduced tighter interim controls and extra use instructions for some second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides. The aim is to reduce risks to people, pets and non-target wildlife while the broader review continues.

FAB assesses the activity, property conditions and surrounding risks before recommending an appropriate approach. Depending on the site, this may include monitoring, trapping, compliant baiting, entry-point recommendations and follow-up rather than relying on one product alone.

Any rodenticide used by FAB will be selected and applied in accordance with the current product label and applicable APVMA directions.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What to expect — and why rodents come back.

Rodents follow food, shelter and easy access. What you notice — a sound overhead, droppings in a cupboard — is usually the visible part of a larger picture that includes entry points and harbourage areas you can't see. Roof rats are commonly associated with ceiling voids, wall cavities and stored items in Perth homes, and activity overhead often points to an accessible entry along the roofline, eaves or a vent.

Placing a bait block in a cupboard can knock down a single visitor, but it doesn't address the gap they came through or the conditions supporting them. Left untreated, activity can also damage insulation, wiring and stored belongings. That's why the right approach depends on the layout, the extent of activity and how rodents are getting in.

Signs there may be rodents on the property

  • Scratching or scurrying noises in the roof, walls or sub-floor.
  • Droppings in cupboards, pantries or along wall edges.
  • Gnaw marks on packaging, timber, wiring or plastics.
  • Chewed food packets or an unexplained pet-food shortage.
  • A musty or ammonia-like smell in enclosed spaces.
  • Sightings of a rat or mouse, especially near dusk or after dark.

Conditions that keep activity going

  • Unsealed entry points along eaves and rooflines
  • Gaps around plumbing, cable and vent penetrations
  • Sub-floor access and disturbed ventilation covers
  • Pet food, bird seed or compost left accessible
  • Overhanging vegetation and dense garden edges
  • Untreated harbourage in sheds and storage areas

Preparing for your rodent service

Preparation depends on access requirements. Where possible, please ensure the ceiling manhole and any sub-floor access points are reachable and clear on the day. If you've been using DIY bait or traps, let FAB know so the findings can be interpreted accurately.

If activity keeps returning, request rodent control and we'll explain what we find.

FAQS

Common rodent questions.

Why do I keep hearing noises in my roof at night?

Scratching, scurrying or thumping noises overhead are commonly associated with roof rats moving through the ceiling void. Fabien checks what is present, where activity is concentrated and how rodents may be getting in.

Will bait alone solve the problem?

Bait can reduce activity, but on its own it doesn't address how rodents are getting in or the conditions supporting them. Long-term results usually depend on identifying entry points and contributing factors alongside treatment.

Is rodent bait safe around children and pets?

FAB uses lockable bait stations and tamper-resistant placements where appropriate, and will explain what's being used and where. Always follow the instructions provided before and after the service.

How long does it take to resolve a rodent problem?

That depends on the species, extent of activity, entry points and property layout. FAB will explain expected timeframes and whether follow-up visits are recommended after the assessment.

Do I need to move things out of my roof or sub-floor?

Preparation depends on access requirements. FAB will let you know before the visit if any specific access or preparation is needed.

Can rodents actually damage my home?

Rodents can damage wiring, insulation and stored items, and their activity in ceiling voids or sub-floors is worth addressing rather than ignoring. An inspection helps identify the extent.

Why do rodents keep coming back after previous treatments?

Recurring activity usually points to unresolved entry points or ongoing food and shelter conditions. FAB looks at the whole picture rather than treating the same visible problem repeatedly.

How much does rodent control cost?

FAB offers four programs: the Roof Rodent Program at $195 inc GST (roof void placements only, no rodent stations), the Full Property Rodent Program at $295 inc GST (roof void treatment plus up to 3 tamper-resistant stations), the Rapid Rodent Program at $390 inc GST (up to 6 stations plus a scheduled follow-up visit) and the Annual Rodent Management Program at $1,080 inc GST (up to 8 stations with monthly servicing for 12 months). Additional rodent stations are $35 inc GST each where required for very large properties or additional risk areas. Standard pricing applies to typical residential homes; acreage, multi-structure, commercial or difficult-access properties may require a confirmed quote.
