Rats are more than just a nuisance — they can damage property, contaminate food, and spread serious diseases. If you’ve seen droppings, heard scratching in the walls, or spotted signs of chewing, it’s time to act. With Jim’s rat control Gladstone, we offer fast, effective rat control to protect your home or business from infestation.

Call Jim’s Termite & Pest Control Gladstone on 131 546 to speak with Barrie Jenkins and book a professional rat inspection or treatment.

Local Rat Control That Gets Results

Rats are highly adaptive and quick to breed, which means a small problem can escalate fast. They often enter homes and buildings in search of food, warmth, and shelter — especially during cooler months. Once inside, they can chew through wiring, nest in wall cavities, and spread bacteria through droppings and urine.

We offer targeted rat control services across Gladstone to stop infestations at the source and prevent them from returning.

Damaging Rats

Common Signs of Rats

Not sure if you’ve got rats? Look for:

  • Droppings, especially around cupboards or skirting boards
  • Grease marks along walls or beams
  • Scratching or scurrying noises at night
  • Chewed food packaging or electrical wires
  • Unusual pet behaviour (especially at night)

If any of these signs are present, contact Barrie for an expert inspection.

Safe, Effective Rat Removal

We use a range of safe, proven methods to control rat activity based on the layout of your property and the extent of the infestation. These may include:

  • Lockable bait stations
  • Snap traps in secure locations
  • Exclusion advice to block access points
  • Clean-up and hygiene recommendations to reduce attractants

All products are selected to minimise risk to pets and children, and we take care to place equipment where it’s both effective and safe.

Preventing Future Infestations

We don’t just treat rats — we help prevent them coming back. After every treatment, we’ll identify:

  • How rats entered the building
  • What’s attracting them
  • Steps you can take to block access and remove food sources

This approach helps reduce the risk of re-infestation and keeps your home or workplace protected longer.

Rat Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have rats or mice?

Rats are larger, leave bigger droppings, and tend to be noisier. We’ll inspect and identify the species before treatment.

Yes. We use lockable bait stations and carefully placed equipment to keep pets and kids safe.

Do you offer rat control for commercial sites?

Absolutely. We work with all types of businesses across Gladstone to manage rodent problems discreetly.

What happens after treatment?

We’ll return if needed, and give you advice to help prevent future issues — including blocking entry points.

Can rats damage my property?
