The Usual Suspects

Whatever It Is, We've Seen Worse.

Most calls are one of these three. Not sure which one's yours? Just call and describe it — we'll figure it out over the phone, no guessing games.

Zone 02 · File 01

Possum Removal

Thumping across the ceiling at 2am? That's a possum, not a ghost. They're native and protected, so it's not as simple as just kicking them out — get it wrong and they're back by the weekend.

  • Licensed, humane trap & relocate
  • One-way doors seal the entry point for good
  • Fully compliant with Victorian wildlife rules
From $180 · fixed quote

Rat & Mouse Control

Hear scratching after dark? That's not the wind — that's rats. And chucking down bait without finding the entry point just means round two in a month.

  • We check the roof, subfloor, walls — everywhere
  • Found the way in? Sealed. Gone for good
  • Bait placed where pets can't reach it

Dead Animal Removal

That smell isn't going anywhere on its own. Usually it's a rat, possum or bird that didn't make it out of a wall, roof or subfloor — we find it, remove it, and make the smell disappear too.

  • We find the actual source — not a guess
  • Removed safely, disposed of properly
  • Sanitised & deodorised so it's actually gone
Free, no-obligation quote

Field Evidence

What They Leave Behind.

Real finds from real Melbourne roof cavities and subfloors — this is why "just put bait down" doesn't cut it.

Zone 01 · Roof Cavity

Droppings Over Live Electronics

Mice don't stop at the insulation — networking gear, power boards and cabling become nesting ground. Left alone, contamination and chewed wiring follow.

Chewed Wiring, Exposed Copper

Rodent teeth never stop growing, so cabling gets gnawed to keep them in check. That's a fire risk waiting behind your wall — not just noise at night.

Questions

Quick Answers Before You Pick Up The Phone.

Possum removal starts from $180, fixed price. Rat & mouse jobs are quoted the same way once we know your suburb and what's going on. Dead animal removal gets a free, no-obligation quote since every job depends on where the animal is. You'll always know the number before we start — no "final price" surprise when the ute pulls up.

Yes, and yes. Brushtail and ringtail possums are protected native wildlife in Victoria, so it's not legal to harm them or relocate them far from the property. We use licensed, humane trap-and-release methods, then fit a one-way door so the entry point seals behind them for good.

Yes — we use low-odour, pet- and kid-safe products, and bait is always placed where curious hands and paws can't reach it.

Most jobs are booked in same-week, and a good chunk same-day, depending on your suburb and what's going on.

Not if we can help it — we track down the actual entry point and seal it, not just lay bait and hope.

Usually the same visit — once the source is found and removed, we sanitise and deodorise the area so the smell doesn't linger.

We come back and sort it — free, every time, for as long as your written guarantee runs.
