Hearing scratching in the ceiling at night, or finding droppings in the pantry? Rats and mice move into Perth homes fast once the weather cools – chewing wiring, contaminating food and breeding in roof voids and wall cavities. Sherlock’s licensed Perth technicians don’t just bait and leave: we identify the species, remove the active infestation, then seal the entry points (rodent proofing) so they can’t get back in. We service homes, businesses and strata properties across the Perth metro area, with same-day or next-day appointments in most suburbs and treatments that are safe around children and pets.
Larger, ground-dwelling rats that burrow near drains, subfloors, compost and chicken coops. Common around older suburbs, waterways and commercial sites with food waste.
Excellent climbers that nest in roof voids, wall cavities and dense garden growth. In Perth's tiled-roof homes they're the number-one call-out. Signs are usually heard before they're seen, scratching in the ceiling at night.
Small, fast-breeding and able to squeeze through a gap the width of a pencil. They contaminate far more food than they eat and are the most frequent rodent in kitchens and pantries.
Rodents reproduce quickly, and small issues can escalate fast. Timely removal by a rodent exterminator helps control the population before it grows and becomes harder and more costly to manage.
Rodents can carry diseases like hantavirus & Salmonella. Acting quickly on a rodent problem with a Mouse exterminator helps protect your family and pets from harmful bacteria, parasites, and allergens.
Rodents may chew through wood, wires, and insulation. Prompt treatment helps prevent structural damage and reduces the risk of electrical fires and repair costs.

Rodent droppings are small, dark and pellet-shaped, usually near food, under sinks or in cupboards. Mouse droppings are rice-grain sized; rat droppings are larger, up to 2 cm.
Oily smudge marks from rodent fur appear on walls and floorboards where they frequently travel, especially in hidden areas.
Scratching, chewing, or scurrying sounds especially at night in walls, ceilings, or under floors often indicate rodent activity.
A musty or urine-like smell may suggest a rodent issue, particularly in enclosed areas like roof spaces or storage cupboards.
Rodents build nests in dark, quiet spaces using shredded materials such as paper, fabric, or insulation often behind appliances or inside walls.
Visible bite marks on food packaging, furniture, or electrical cables strongly indicate rodent presence and potential for structural damage.
Worried about pests in your home or business? We provide fast, reliable pest management that keeps your property safe.
A licensed technician inspects your roof void, subfloor, kitchen and exterior to identify the species (roof rat, Norway rat or house mouse), locate nests, and map every entry point - roofline gaps, weep holes, pipe penetrations and door seals.
We use targeted methods, including traps, bait stations, and non-toxic repellents, to reduce rodent populations with minimal environmental impact.
Our licensed technicians use safe extermination techniques that meet Australian standards to eliminate infestations effectively and prevent recurrence.
After extermination, we sanitise affected areas to remove urine, droppings, and nesting materials, ensuring a safe, hygienic environment.
Our mission is simple- to deliver reliable pest management that keeps your home, business, and community clean, safe, and pest-free. With years of on-ground expertise and a customer-first approach, we don’t just treat pests – we prevent them from coming back.
Yes. We treat roof rats, Norway rats and house mice, and the inspection determines which you have – the treatment plan is different for each species, which is why correct identification matters.
Most residential rodent treatments in Perth fall in a fixed-price range depending on property size and infestation level; commercial jobs are quoted after inspection. You’ll always get a fixed quote up front before any work starts – call 0460 400 900 or request a quote online.
Yes. We use tamper-resistant, secured bait stations and low-toxicity products placed out of reach of children and pets, and we adjust placements if you have dogs, cats or chickens.
Rodents seek food, shelter, and warmth. Poor rubbish storage, food scraps, uncovered pet food, fruits, and gaps in walls or roofing increase the risk of rodent infestation. Keeping your property clean, sealing holes and entry points, and scheduling regular inspections with our pest control Perth team are important steps to prevent rodent problems.
DIY baiting reduces numbers but rarely seals the entry points, so new rodents move straight back in. Our treatment includes finding and sealing those gaps (exclusion), which is what makes it last.
Rat infestation in properties often occurs when food sources like pet food are left uncovered or when clutter provides hiding spots. In any Perth property, proper storage and cleanliness are essential to prevent rodents, which are a growing concern across Western Australia.
