Rats and mice are common across Western Brisbane, particularly in homes near creeks, parks and big gardens. Roof rats climb trees, fences and cables and slip through small gaps into the roof. Mice come in at ground level through weep holes, gaps around pipes and under doors. Both become more active as the weather cools and they look for warm shelter.
Signs include scratching in the ceiling or walls at night, small droppings in cupboards and along benchtops, chewed food packets and dark grease marks along walls. When you ring, we ask where you have seen or heard them and give you the price. The crew we book inspects the house, finds where they are living and how they get in, and sets up a plan to suit.
- Inspection of the roof space, kitchen, laundry and subfloor
- Lockable bait stations placed away from pets and children
- Traps in roof and wall cavities where suited
- Entry points marked for sealing
- Tips on food storage, bins, compost and garden cover
Baits and traps deal with the rats and mice already inside, but closing the way in is what stops new ones arriving. The crew will point out gaps and can price rodent proofing to seal them. They will also mention things in the yard that draw rats in, such as fallen fruit, pet food and woodpiles.
Some jobs need a return visit to check bait stations and clear traps, and the crew will explain this and the price at the start. To book rat and mouse control in Western Brisbane, call 07 3543 7769 and we will line up a local crew.
