For ongoing issues we set up monitoring to catch any return early.<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"rs-figure\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stagingloom.com\/rapid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/rodent-control.jpg\" alt=\"Rodent control and exclusion work on a Sydney property\">\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"rs-block\">\n          <span class=\"rs-eyebrow\">Warning signs<\/span>\n          <h2>Signs of a rodent problem<\/h2>\n          <p>If you notice any of these around your home or business, it is time to act:<\/p>\n          <div class=\"rs-pest-grid\">\n            <span class=\"rs-pest\"><span class=\"rs-pi\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><circle cx=\"7\" cy=\"14\" r=\"1.4\"\/><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"15\" r=\"1.4\"\/><circle cx=\"17\" cy=\"14\" r=\"1.4\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Droppings<\/span>\n            <span class=\"rs-pest\"><span class=\"rs-pi\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M4 8h16v8H4Z\"\/><path d=\"m8 8 2 8M14 8l2 8\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Gnaw marks<\/span>\n            <span class=\"rs-pest\"><span class=\"rs-pi\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M3 12h4l2-3 3 6 2-3h7\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Scratching at night<\/span>\n            <span class=\"rs-pest\"><span class=\"rs-pi\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M12 3a6 6 0 0 0-6 6c0 4 6 12 6 12s6-8 6-12a6 6 0 0 0-6-6Z\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Nesting material<\/span>\n            <span class=\"rs-pest\"><span class=\"rs-pi\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M4 16c4-8 12-8 16 0\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Grease marks<\/span>\n            <span class=\"rs-pest\"><span class=\"rs-pi\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M5 12h6l2-4 2 8 2-4h2\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Chewed wiring<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"rs-block\">\n          <span class=\"rs-eyebrow\">How it works<\/span>\n          <h2>Our rodent control process<\/h2>\n          <p>A four-step approach that removes rodents and keeps them out.<\/p>\n          <div class=\"rs-steps\">\n            <div class=\"rs-step\"><span class=\"rs-sn\">STEP 01<\/span><h3>Inspection<\/h3><p>We track activity, runs and entry points across the roof void, subfloor and inside.<\/p><\/div>\n            <div class=\"rs-step\"><span class=\"rs-sn\">STEP 02<\/span><h3>Trapping &amp; baiting<\/h3><p>We remove the active population using traps and tamper-resistant bait stations.<\/p><\/div>\n            <div class=\"rs-step\"><span class=\"rs-sn\">STEP 03<\/span><h3>Exclusion<\/h3><p>We seal gaps, vents and entry points so new rodents cannot get back in.<\/p><\/div>\n            <div class=\"rs-step\"><span class=\"rs-sn\">STEP 04<\/span><h3>Follow-up<\/h3><p>Monitoring and follow-up visits to confirm the problem stays solved.<\/p><\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"rs-why\">\n          <span class=\"rs-eyebrow rs-on-dark\">Why choose us<\/span>\n          <h2>Remove, then keep them out<\/h2>\n          <p>Trapping alone is not enough.
