Pest Control Braybrook | Rodent Removal
Pest Control Braybrook
The western suburbs of Melbourne is a haven for all types of pests. Our highly trained pest management professionals live and work in the area. This has allowed us to develop intimate knowledge of the major pest types in Melbourne’s west. For example, we’ve recently experienced a surge for pest control Braybrook. This suburb, surrounded by Footscray, Tottenham and Sunshine, is currently experiencing an outbreak of mice.
Tim is the owner of Pest Control Empire. He notes, “Footscray has always been a hot spot for rodent activity. The expansive train line, the bustling CBD and the Footscray Market all provide conducive conditions to rats and mice. Recently though we’ve noted a dramatic increase in mouse infestations throughout Braybrook. There’s no obvious reason why mouse numbers have increased in the area. It’s just symptomatic of a dramatic increase throughout Melbourne”.

If you’re hearing noises in your walls or roof cavity, particularly at night, it’s likely that rodents have commenced nesting in your home. Mice are brazen and will try to enter your home. Rats however are shy and avoid human interaction wherever possible. Therefore if you’ve sighted droppings in your pantry, under the sink, on your kitchen bench or behind the fridge the likely culprit is mice.
