Tom’s Pest Control Melbourne Eliminates Rodent Activity in Strata Residential Complex

Tom’s Pest Control Melbourne eliminates rodents from strata complex with a four-step control plan and ongoing monitoring, protecting residents and shared spaces

MELBOURNE, VIC, AUSTRALIA, July 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tom’s Pest Control Melbourne has successfully resolved a rodent infestation in a multi-unit strata building in the city’s inner suburbs. With a combination of targeted treatment, resident education, and ongoing monitoring, the team restored safety and hygiene to a property that had become vulnerable to rodent activity in shared areas.

Rodent Issues in Shared Spaces Raise Health and Safety Concerns
The building’s strata committee contacted Tom’s Pest Control after multiple residents reported droppings in storage rooms, chewed wiring in the car park, and scratching sounds in walls—especially near ground-level units and utility rooms.
“Rodents don’t just cause property damage—they pose a health risk and can quickly undermine the livability of any shared residential complex,” said Stefan Barker, spokesperson for Tom’s Pest Control. “We approached this case with both urgency and a long-term prevention mindset.”
This case reinforces the rising demand for comprehensive strata pest management solutions in Melbourne’s high-density residential areas.

Four-Step Rodent Control Strategy Delivered Strong Results
Following a detailed site inspection—including subfloors, bin areas, common walls, and garden edges—the team identified multiple risk factors, such as open wall cavities, overgrown vegetation, and unsecured waste zones.
A four-part strategy was then implemented:
1. Entry Point Sealing
Gaps, cracks, and structural openings were sealed with rodent-proof materials such as steel mesh and expanding foam—especially around utility cupboards, vents, and garage areas.
2. Sanitation & Habitat Modification
The strata committee received guidance on lockable bin systems, rubbish scheduling, and vegetation trimming. Shared storage areas were decluttered to remove nesting zones.
3. Rodent Monitoring & Baiting
Tamper-resistant bait stations were installed around the perimeter and within common utility areas. All baiting used low-toxicity formulations approved for residential use.
4. Resident Education & Engagement
Residents received flyers and emails with prevention tips, food storage guidelines, and instructions on sealing internal unit gaps. A strata meeting helped align all stakeholders on their role in keeping the building rodent-free.

Results: No New Activity Reported After Six Weeks
Within six weeks, rodent activity dropped dramatically, with no new sightings or property damage reported. Follow-up inspections showed a steady decline in bait consumption—indicating successful control of the rodent population.
“Feedback from residents and the strata committee has been overwhelmingly positive,” Stefan Barker added. “It’s a perfect example of how education, treatment, and prevention work best when done together.”

Ongoing Support Keeps the Complex Rodent-Free
Tom’s Pest Control Melbourne now provides quarterly monitoring as part of a preventative maintenance plan. The team continues to inspect bait stations, assess new risks, and communicate with the committee to ensure the site remains protected.
