Rodent Pest Control – Rats & Mice Treatments in Perth

Rodents like rats and mice aren’t just a nuisance—they can cause serious health risks and structural damage. At Coopers Pest Solutions, we deliver targeted rodent control solutions for homes and businesses across Perth, using safe, effective methods to keep your property rodent-free.

How Our Rodent Treatment Works

Roof Cavity

Rodent bait blocks are placed in the roof cavity, accessed via your internal manhole. If your property does not have a manhole, let us know ahead of time so we can plan an alternative solution.

Inside Your Home

Where appropriate, bait blocks may be placed discreetly behind appliances (like fridges and washing machines), inside cupboards, or behind furniture. For safety, especially in homes with children or pets, we can use lockable bait stations.

Subfloor

If your home has a subfloor space, we’ll place baits there as well. Lockable bait boxes are used in any areas accessible to pets, children, or wildlife to ensure safety.

External Areas

Rats and mice typically come from outside before making their way inside. We highly recommend treating external areas—especially in Perth’s cooler months when rodent activity increases.
Lockable, weatherproof rodent stations are used for outdoor baiting. These not only protect the bait from pets, children, and wildlife, but also extend the bait’s effectiveness by shielding it from rain.

How Do Rat & Mice Baits Work?

Most rodent baits we use are anticoagulants, which work by disrupting the rodent's ability to clot blood. After consuming the bait, the rodent suffers internal bleeding and typically dies within 4 to 6 days.

Larger infestations may take longer to control, as it takes time for all rodents in the population to feed on the bait.

Why Rodent Control Matters

Rats Can:

• Chew through electrical wiring, increasing the risk of house fires

• Damage insulation, floorboards, and internal walls

• Undermine structural foundations and garden beds

Mice Can:

• Contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine

• Multiply rapidly and hide in small, undisturbed areas

• Trigger asthma and allergic reactions

• Cause electrical faults by chewing on cables
