Scratching in the ceiling at night is one of the most common calls we take from Mount Gravatt once the weather cools. Roof rats move along power lines, fences and overhanging branches into the roof space, while mice come in through gaps around pipes and garage doors. Droppings in the pantry, chewed food packets or a musty smell in cupboards are other signs worth mentioning when you call.
The crew we book starts by checking the roof void, subfloor and garage for droppings, runways and nesting material. Lockable bait stations are placed where rodents travel, away from children and pets, and snap traps may be used inside where baits are not suitable. They will also show you entry points that could be sealed, such as gaps under roofing iron or around air conditioning pipes.
- Rats in roof spaces and wall cavities
- Mice in pantries, kitchens and garages
- Rodents nesting under high-set homes
- Chewed wiring, stored boxes and food packets
- Entry points around pipes, vents and eaves
Trimming branches back from the roofline, keeping pet food and chook feed in sealed tubs, and clearing stored items away from walls all make your place less attractive to rodents. Homes near the bushland on the mountain and around the creek lines often see rats come in each winter, so an early booking before the cold sets in can save a lot of noise in the roof. If you hear activity again a few weeks after the visit, call and tell us what has changed so the crew can check whether a new gap has opened up.
The price is given before the crew arrives. Call 07 3543 7770 to book rodent control in Mount Gravatt and we will line up a local team.
