Rats and mice are a regular problem in Brisbane, and calls pick up as the weather cools. Scratching above the ceiling at night, droppings in the pantry or along the skirting boards, and chewed packets are the signs most people notice first. Queenslanders with open subfloors are easy for rodents to get into, but brick homes and apartments get them too.
When you call, we ask where the noise or signs are and how long it has been going on. The crew we book checks the roof space, subfloor, kitchen, garage and yard for droppings, rub marks and nests. Then they place lockable bait stations or traps along the paths rodents use, out of reach of children and pets.
- Checks of roof spaces, subfloors, wall cavities and garages
- Lockable bait stations or traps placed along rodent paths
- Advice on gaps, vents and pipe holes rodents are using
- Attention to sheds, compost bins and fruit trees in the yard
- A return visit to check stations, priced upfront if needed
Rodents are drawn to food and shelter, so a few changes at home help a lot. Store pet food and dry goods in sealed containers, keep compost closed, pick up fallen fruit and cut back branches touching the roof. The crew will point out any obvious gaps so you can have them closed up.
Many homes in Brisbane sit near creeks, parks and older stormwater drains, which are all good rat country. If you can hear them in the ceiling, booking sooner can save chewed wiring and damaged insulation. Call 07 3543 7771 to book rat and mouse control and we will give you the price upfront.
