Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most visits take 1–3 hours. An initial inspection and setting of traps usually takes 1–2 hours; extensive contamination, loft or roof access, multiple entry points or major proofing work can extend this and may require a follow‑up visit

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Are you insured and do you have public liability cover?

• Which control methods will you use and will you use rodenticides in the property?

• How do you manage contaminated droppings and will you remove and dispose of them safely?

• Do you provide a written treatment plan, proofing recommendations and a warranty or follow‑up visits?

• Can you confirm any access you need to lofts, crawl spaces or neighbouring areas and the expected timings?

• Will treatment affect pets or require temporary evacuation of rooms?

How to Avoid Surprises

• Ensure clear access to lofts, roof spaces and voids

• Reserve parking or notify building management for vehicle access

• Secure pets and keep children away during inspection and treatment

• Put aside recent sighting details and photos to show the tradesperson

• Check tenancy agreements or freeholder rules for pesticide or access permissions
