Reliable Rodent Control You Can Count On.

Rodents are more than just an unpleasant surprise — they are a serious threat to your home and health. Left unchecked, rats and mice can chew through wiring, damage insulation, contaminate food and spread harmful diseases. And they breed fast. What starts as one or two can quickly become a full infestation within weeks.

At So Pest Off, we specialise in professional ongoing rodent control for both residential and commercial properties. Our licensed technicians use the latest tools, monitoring systems and safe treatment methods to locate, remove and prevent rodents from returning.

The 2026 Rat Bait Law Change And What It Means for Sydney Homeowners

In March 2026, the APVMA restricted the strongest retail rat baits to licensed professionals only. Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARs), the heavy-duty products that used to sit on the shelf at Bunnings, were linked to secondary poisoning of native owls, raptors and family pets.
They’re being withdrawn from retail shelves over 12 months.

This matters for DIY rodent control. The products now available to the public are significantly weaker, which means infestations that might once have been managed at home now require professional-grade treatment to resolve properly.

We use Selontra, a professional BASF rodenticide whose active ingredient is cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). It’s not an anticoagulant, so it sits outside the APVMA suspension and carries a much lower secondary-poisoning risk to pets and wildlife. It’s Schedule 7, professional-use only, and its stop-feed action brings infestations under control fast. Read more: New Rat Bait Laws in Australia — What’s Changed and What It Means for You

Why We Only Take On Rodent Clients on a Maintenance Program

Following the 2026 APVMA bait restrictions, approved professional-grade rodenticides are in short supply across the industry. Getting hold of compliant stock is genuinely difficult right now, we’ve secured enough to look after our existing baiting program clients and a limited number of new ones.
We cannot take on one-off rodent baiting jobs and maintain that supply responsibly.

One-off baiting doesn’t solve the problem, it temporarily reduces the population while leaving entry points wide open for the next wave. A maintenance program means tamper-resistant stations that are monitored, refilled and adjusted over time, paired with proper proofing of the gaps rodents are actually using.
Metal weep hole covers instead of plastic (which rodents chew straight through), sealed door gaps, vents and roof penetrations.

For restaurants and commercial sites, our Bluetooth-monitored stations track rodent movement in real time so proofing targets the real entry points, not guesswork.

After Treatment

Following your rodent treatment, you may notice a gradual decline in activity as the baiting takes effect. It’s important to avoid disturbing bait stations and to monitor any signs of rodent presence. Maintain regular cleaning routines and keep food sources sealed to support the effectiveness of the treatment.

1

Rodent Inspection

Our licensed technicians begin with a full site inspection to assess the severity of the infestation and identify entry points. We check roof voids, wall cavities, subfloor areas and external access points to build a clear picture before any treatment begins.

2

Rodent Baiting and Treatment

Once we’ve assessed the extent of the infestation, we apply a strategic baiting program using tamper-resistant bait stations, roof stations, sticky pads or external baits — depending on where rodent activity is found. We use Selontra Soft Bait Rodenticide, a professional BASF product with a cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) active ingredient that carries a lower secondary-poisoning risk to wildlife and pets. While not instant, you can expect visible results within a few weeks. For commercial properties, we offer Bluetooth-enabled bait boxes that monitor activity in real time, helping refine placement and reduce overuse of product.

3

Ongoing Rodent Monitoring

Baiting alone isn’t enough. As part of your maintenance program, we return to refill stations, check activity levels and adjust placement as needed. We also work through your property to seal the real entry points — metal weep hole covers, door and vent gaps, roof penetrations — so the infestation doesn’t simply rebuild from outside.

4

Safe Removal and Cleaning

If a rodent is found after treatment, remove it safely using gloves and dispose of it immediately. After removal, clean the area thoroughly — rodent droppings and residue can carry harmful bacteria that pose risks to humans and pets. If any issues persist, our team is just a call away for follow-up support.

Vermin and Rodent Control in Sydney

Rodents are destructive, fast-breeding pests that pose serious risks to your property and health. They chew through electrical wiring, furniture and insulation, often causing costly damage and electrical faults in homes and vehicles. They leave behind urine and droppings that carry harmful bacteria and contaminate food and surfaces.

Common signs of a rodent infestation include:

  • Droppings around kitchen areas, skirting boards or storage rooms
  • Gnaw marks on cables, furniture or food containers
  • Scratching or scurrying noises at night, especially in walls or ceilings
  • A musty or foul smell in hidden areas
  • Signs of activity in roof voids, garages or near rubbish bins

Rodents are opportunistic omnivores — they eat almost anything and have an ongoing need to gnaw, which is why they target soft materials and wiring. The moment you spot these signs, act quickly. An isolated issue can escalate into a large infestation within weeks.

Please note: Possums are protected under Australian law. If your issue involves possums, we use a humane relocation strategy. You can read more about our possum control process here.

How To Get The Most Effective Pest Control Results

  • Spiderwebs are tempting to clean off, but to allow the solution to work its best we recommend to leave cobwebs for at least 10 days or until they naturally fade away
  • Post treatment you might have residue on your windows from the outside. Please leave this for as long as possible.
  • We spray window frames from the outside, and we recommend not cleaning these. If you have dust sitting on the window-sills lightly wipe it off with a dry paper towel.
  • Clothes lines and council bins can be hosed down 1 week post treatment. Please ensure you are wearing gloves and closed sole shoes when walk on these areas as they have been sprayed.
  • Having your lawn mowed down and any excess dry leaves cleaned will improve your results.
  • We do not spray furniture or counter tops, but we will spray the skirting boards. Please allow five – seven days before mopping your floors.
  • If you have dust on your skirting boards and wish to clean this, please use the vacuum extension head or a dry paper towel.
  • Please note if you outsource your home cleaning it is important to delay floor mopping internally by at least one week to ensure that the invisible barrier applied is not impacted or organize cleaning prior to your pest control.

Six monthly pest controls will improve your results and keep pests at a manageable level

Rodent Control FAQ’s

The strongest rat baits — Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARs) — are being withdrawn from retail shelves following an APVMA ruling in March 2026. They were linked to secondary poisoning of native owls, raptors and family pets. What remains on the shelf is significantly weaker, which means DIY baiting is now much less effective for anything beyond a very minor problem.

Yes — we use Selontra, a professional BASF product whose active ingredient is cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Unlike the anticoagulant baits being withdrawn, it carries a much lower secondary-poisoning risk to pets, children and native predators like owls and raptors. It’s Schedule 7 professional-use only, which is another reason DIY rodent control has become significantly less effective since the law change.

Get in touch as soon as possible — stock is limited and we’re taking on a small number of new program clients. We’ll start with a full site inspection, set up monitored tamper-resistant bait stations, and work through your property to seal the entry points rodents are actually using. Call us on 0410 244 244 or request a quote here.

Common signs include droppings in cupboards or along walls, gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring, scratching noises in walls or ceilings (especially at night), greasy rub marks along skirting boards, nesting materials like shredded paper, and a distinctive musky odor in enclosed spaces.

Rodent control costs vary based on property size, infestation severity, and treatment method required. For accurate pricing tailored to your situation, please visit our pricing page or contact us for a free quote and property inspection.

Following the 2026 bait restrictions, approved professional-grade rodenticides are in genuinely short supply across the industry. We’ve secured enough stock to look after our program clients and a limited number of new ones — but we can’t responsibly take on one-off jobs and maintain that supply for the people who need ongoing protection.
Beyond the supply issue, one-off baiting doesn’t actually solve a rodent problem. It reduces the population temporarily while leaving entry points open for the next wave. A maintenance program is the only approach that delivers lasting results.
