Rat feeding -- Bruin treats rats and mice across North Brisbane homes and businesses

QBCC licensed 15483371

Family owned and operated

Overview

Rats and mice are one of the most common calls we get, especially after wet weather pushes them indoors. They are more than a nuisance: rodents chew wiring and insulation, contaminate food and surfaces, and breed fast enough that a small problem becomes a real one within weeks.

Our approach is to treat the cause, not just the symptom. The technician works out how rodents are getting in and where they are harbouring, then targets those areas with baiting and trapping placed safely away from children and pets. We identify the entry points and show you the food and shelter sources that keep drawing them in, and where the building needs sealing we offer rodent proofing as a separate service, quoted onsite.

Rodent work includes follow-up rather than a single visit, because getting on top of an established population takes more than one pass. Homes, rentals, and commercial sites all get the same methodical treatment.

01

Our bait menu, matched to the job

There is no single rodent bait that suits every situation, which is why we carry five different types. They all deal with rats and mice, but they work in different ways and sit at different levels of toxicity, and that difference matters more than most people expect.

A home with dogs, cats, or young children is a different problem to a warehouse, and a food premises carrying an audit obligation is different again. A heavy, established infestation needs something that works fast; a low-level ongoing pressure from neighbouring properties is better held down with something gentler kept in place.

The technician picks from the menu once they have seen the site, and tells you which one they have used and why. You are not getting whatever was in the van.

02

Health, wiring, and why it matters

Rodents contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine, and they gnaw constantly, including on electrical wiring, which is a genuine fire risk anywhere it happens out of sight. They also damage insulation and stored belongings.

That is why early treatment is worth it: the longer an infestation runs, the more damage it does and the harder it is to clear.

03

Rodent proofing, quoted onsite

Getting rid of the rodents you have is one job; keeping the next lot out is another. That second job is rodent proofing: sealing the gaps rodents use at eaves, vents, pipe penetrations and doors so the building stops offering a way in.

Proofing is offered as a separate service rather than bundled into every treatment, because the work varies so much between buildings. The technician identifies the entry points during your rodent visit and can quote the proofing onsite; where closing a gap needs a roofer or builder, we tell you exactly what to fix and where.

04

Commercial rodent control

For cafes, restaurants, warehouses, and other businesses, rodents are a compliance and reputation problem as much as a pest one. We treat discreetly, work around trading hours, and keep the records a food-safety or hygiene audit expects.

One point of contact manages routine baiting and monitoring across every site on your books.

Safety and property care

Safe treatment, and care for your home

Baiting rats and mice safely comes down to where the bait sits and who set it, so every station is placed and checked with the household or business in mind. Following a Queensland legislation change, our technicians no longer enter roof voids; baiting and entry-point inspection are carried out from ground and ladder level, which covers the runways rodents actually use.

  • Tamper-resistant bait stationsBait goes into lockable, tamper-resistant stations placed in subfloors and out-of-the-way spots, so it stays out of reach of children and pets.
  • Licensed technician, logged placementsA licensed technician places every bait and trap and can tell you exactly where each one sits, so nothing is guesswork if you need to check later.
  • A bait matched to your situationWe carry five different bait types. They all deal with rodents but they work in different ways and at different levels of toxicity, so the technician picks the one that suits a home with pets, a food premises, or a heavy infestation.
  • Follow-up before it's finishedThe follow-up visit checks and clears spent bait and traps rather than leaving them in place indefinitely, which keeps the job tidy once the population is under control.

Cody was great at communicating let know when he going to arrive and was on time. He and Tom did a very through job and went above and beyond. They both explained what they were doing every time I asked. Cody fixed a minor drainage issue while on site. I will have no hesitation recommending Bruin to anyone. I look forward to see them in a years time.

Will HartmannVerified customer
Andy completed a pest inspection at our property in Brisbane and his knowledge is second to none. He is very friendly and genuine and provided a great service. At the end of the pest inspection, he showed us through his findings and talked through different pest control methods and some things we could do to help lessen the chance of any termites finding the property attractive.
Lynda WatersVerified customer
Myself and my husband highly recommend Andy and Sarah, this is our 2nd time using their pest control services and we have had no problems with pests returning until we were due our next yearly service. They take extreme pride in their work and are very informative on the types of pests and what to use and not use.
Rory ComptonVerified customer
Excellent service for a pre purchase pest inspection in Brisbane. Communication was fast and professional. The report was comprehensive, received the day of the inspection, and Andy was available to explain plainly any questions I had. I would definitely use Bruin again in future.
Elizabeth KennedyVerified customer
Engaged Bruin to do a pest inspection and they were fantastic. They were available very quickly (next day) and were so easy to deal with. The inspector was professional and very polite. The report was available that day and was easy to understand. Their advice was so helpful, not just for our house purchase, but for dealing with the property into the future.
Claire BowdenVerified customer
My husband and I engaged Bruin to complete our pre-purchase pest inspection. We were extremely happy with the service offered by both the office staff and Andy. All were friendly, professional and thorough. Andy met my husband Wayne onsite and explained things clearly. We had our report later the same day. We highly recommend the Bruin team.

Common questions

Pest and termite questions, answered

How do I know if I have rats or mice?

The common signs are scratching or scurrying above the ceiling or in the walls at night, droppings in cupboards or along skirting, a musty smell, and chewed food packaging, wiring, or insulation. You might also find greasy rub marks along the paths they use. If you are hearing movement above the ceiling after dark, it is usually rodents settling in, and it rarely fixes itself.

Why do rodents need professional treatment?

Rats and mice breed quickly and follow food and shelter into subfloors and wall cavities where supermarket traps never reach. Professional treatment finds how they are getting in, targets the harbourage, and uses baiting and trapping placed safely away from children and pets. Left alone, rodents chew wiring and insulation, so early treatment saves the bigger repair.

Is rodent baiting safe around children and pets?

Yes, when it is done properly. We use tamper-resistant stations and place bait and traps in subfloors and other spots away from where children and pets spend time. We tell you exactly where everything is and what to watch for. If you have particular concerns, let us know first and we adjust the approach to suit your home.

How long does it take to get rid of rodents?

Most homes are brought under control over a couple of weeks, which is why our rodent work includes follow-up rather than a single visit. The first visit sets up baiting and trapping and identifies the entry points; the follow-up checks the result and tops up where needed. If the building needs proofing, we quote that onsite as a separate service. Heavier infestations or ongoing pressure from neighbouring properties can take a little longer.
