Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Inspect interior and exterior for droppings, runways, entry points and signs of gnawing

• Place tamper‑resistant bait stations and/or snap traps in identified locations and record placements

• Remove and safely dispose of any carcasses or heavily contaminated material using PPE

• Advise on and supply a written proofing plan for sealing gaps, vents and service entry points

• Provide hygiene and storage recommendations to reduce attractants

• Arrange follow‑up visits (commonly 7–14 days) and record outcomes for compliance

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most initial inspections take 1–2 hours including external checks; a single treatment or trap placement typically takes 30–90 minutes; allow extra time for loft/void access, heavy infestations or proofing work

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Are you certified or registered to use rodenticides and provide documentation

• What specific methods will you use and why (bait stations, traps, proofing)

• How many visits are included and what triggers a follow‑up visit

• Will you provide a written proofing quote and can you carry out minor repairs on the same visit

• How do you manage contamination and what PPE will you and the team use

• Do you supply warranties or guarantees for control and proofing work

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear access to lofts, basements and external perimeter before the visit

• advise your tradie of pets and keep them contained during treatment visits

• check parking and site access for vehicles and mention any permits or parking restrictions

• keep areas dry and remove food waste and compost lids to reduce attractants before treatment

• confirm any working‑at‑height needs and whether a ladder or scaffold is required and who supplies it
