What is exclusion rodent control, and do I need it?
Reviewed by the Rodent Controller VIC team, updated September 2026
Exclusion rodent control means locating each of the entry points a rat or mouse could use and shutting it with materials they cannot gnaw. Bait lowers the number of rodents inside a building today. Exclusion decides whether new ones can walk in next month.
The national industry code for rodent management describes keeping rodents out of buildings as the lasting measure and cautions that baiting alone does not prove a problem is over. Homes that are treated but left open tend to see fresh activity once the weather cools.
It is fiddly work. Victoria's Department of Health says mice can use openings of about 8 mm, so we check rooflines, weep holes, subfloor vents, pipe and cable penetrations and door edges, not only the obvious hole behind the bins.

Rodent proofing materials: what holds and what fails
Plenty of sealing gets chewed straight back open. This is how common fixes stand up to teeth.
| Material | What happens with rodents | Where we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Expanding foam | Chewed through within days | Never on its own |
| Steel wool alone | Pulled loose and rusts | Only packed behind sealant |
| Plastic vent covers | Gnawed at the edges | Replaced with metal mesh |
| Galvanised mesh | Resists gnawing and weather | Vents, weep holes, eaves |
| Steel plate | Rigid and chew resistant | Larger holes and door edges |
| Weatherproof sealant | Holds mesh and plate firm | Around pipes and cables |
Materials are matched to the gap, the species and whether the spot gets wet or hot.

Comparing rodent exclusion companies: three questions
Do you treat before sealing?
Sealing rodents in is a mistake. Good rodent exclusion companies treat first, with locked, tamper-resistant stations.

The answer should be mesh, steel and sealant, not foam or plastic.
Is every gap listed and warranted?
A written scope with photos is the only way to hold anyone to their work.
Keeping mouse proofing and rat proofing working
Sealing lasts longest when the building around it is looked after.
Keep branches and creepers pruned back from the roof.
Tell us if a tradesperson cuts new holes for pipes or cables.
Replace worn door seals as they wear.
Keep firewood and clutter off the walls.
Store food and pet food in sealed containers.
Ring early if droppings reappear.

Is exclusion rodent control better than baiting?
They do different jobs. Exclusion rodent control keeps new rodents out, while treatment deals with the ones already inside. Most homes need both.
Why not seal the gaps straight away?
Sealing rodents inside can leave them trapped in the walls. Treatment comes first so activity drops before the gaps close.
How long does sealing take?
Most homes take a few hours. Larger or older homes can take longer, which is set out in the scope.
Can new gaps appear later?
Yes. Renovations, new pipes or storm damage can open new gaps. Those are not covered by the warranty, but we can seal them.
