Rodent control on Australian commercial sites is judged on what happens between visits, not on what's installed today. The audit reads the trend line. The trend line comes from the records. The records come from the cadence. The cadence comes from the system. A complete rodent control system is the structure that produces audit-grade records as a by-product of how it operates.

The four parts of a complete rodent control system are the kit, the cadence, the records, and the design. The kit covers the station spectrum (snap-trap stations, bait stations, multi-catch sensor stations, lures, monitor pads, and exclusion). The cadence is the service rhythm: monthly checks across the reporting period, lure refresh on stations carrying lure, rotation reviews when activity patterns shift, intervention reviews against the previous quarter. The records are the documentation pack: station counts by zone, maintenance logs per station, intervention records per fire-up, trend lines across reporting periods, licence-renewal evidence for regulated sites. The design is what fits the kit, cadence, and records to the specific site: the building, the audit standard, the rodent pressure, and the contract scale.

The 2026 APVMA SGAR conditions changed what a complete system looks like. Continuous rodenticide use beyond 35 days now requires documented evaluation, breaking the old set-and-forget bait station pattern. The 2m structural rule, the no outdoor mouse baiting rule, and the no burrow application rule rewrote the placement strategy for sites that ran rodenticide. Dead-rodent disposal at every service visit shifted the cadence. Retail SGARs are out (Bunnings, Coles, Woolworths clearing aisles); licensed professionals only. The Industry Watch SGAR briefing pack carries the depth.

Pest IT's signature range has always carried the rodenticide-free formats that the new regulatory direction now favours: snap-trap stations, multi-catch sensor stations, lures, monitor pads, and exclusion. Bait stations remain in the range for sites running mixed programs, with the 2026 conditions integrated into how those sites operate. The system design conversation now starts with the rodenticide-free core and adds bait stations only where the site context calls for them.

The Pest IT Free Design Service maps the system to the specific site. Pesties pitching a new multi-site contract bring the site brief; the design team returns the system spec ready to take back to the contract bid. Food operations managers, facility managers, and asset managers can engage the design service direct to scope the rodent component of an RFP, evaluate program adequacy across multi-venue, or set the contractor brief. Where a direct engagement needs a pestie on the ground, Pest IT connects the food ops manager with a pestie in the trade network.

Multi-site rollouts test the system's portability. A complete system is built to repeat: same kit, same cadence, same records framework, across sites with site-specific adjustments for venue type, rodent pressure, and access. The multi-site reporting format Pest IT supplies consolidates site-level records into portfolio-level visibility for asset managers and senior facility managers. The portfolio rollup tracks program health across the group and sets contract review benchmarks across multi-venue agreements.

Rodent Stations and Traps holds the kit-level configuration and the placement strategy. Rats and Mice carry the species-level vector science. The Pestie Catalogue is the trade hub for stocking, reorder, and trade-network connection. Trade pricing applies to every approved trade account. Pest IT designs the rodent control system with you when the building, the audit, and the contract scale all need to line up.
