Light scratching in the ceiling at any hour, droppings in the pantry or chewed food packets usually mean rats or mice. In Eatons Hill, they move indoors more often in the cooler months, and homes that back onto bushland or have chook pens, compost bins or fruit trees see them more than most. We give you an upfront price and book a local crew to deal with them.
The crew we book inspects the roof space, kitchen, laundry, garage and yard for droppings, runways and gnaw marks. They also look for the gaps rodents use to get in. Then they set up a plan that suits your household, placing baits and traps where children and pets cannot reach them. If possums are in the roof too, both can be handled on one visit. The work may include:
- Lockable bait stations in the roof and around the yard
- Snap traps in spots pets cannot reach
- Checks of the kitchen, laundry and garage
- Tips on storing food, feed and rubbish
- Pointing out gaps that let rodents inside
Activity usually drops within a couple of weeks once baiting starts. The crew will tell you what to watch for, and you can call us to book another check if the scratching keeps going. If a rodent dies somewhere out of reach and leaves a smell, we can book dead animal removal or a wall cavity check as well.
To stop new rodents moving in, many people pair this with rodent entry sealing. To book rat and mouse control in Eatons Hill, call 07 3543 7771. Tell us where you are seeing or hearing signs, and we will give you an upfront price and a time.
