Scratching in the roof at night, droppings in the pantry or chewed food packets are all signs of rats or mice. Rodents are common in Moorooka, especially in cooler months when they look for warm shelter indoors. Call us and we will give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew to find out what is going on and deal with it.
The crew we book starts by looking for signs of activity, such as droppings, rub marks, chewed wiring and nesting material. They then place secure bait stations or traps in the right spots, often in the roof space, sub-floor, garage and around the outside. The aim is to reduce the rodents already there and to point out the gaps they are using to get in.
- An inspection of the roof space, sub-floor and garage where access allows
- Lockable bait stations or traps placed out of reach of kids and pets
- Checks for chewed wiring, insulation damage and nests
- Advice on sealing gaps around pipes, vents and roof lines
- A plan for a return check if activity is heavy
Older timber homes in Moorooka can have many small gaps in the roof line, under the eaves and around the subfloor. Rats and mice can squeeze through surprisingly small holes, so the crew will point out where they may be coming in. Keeping bins sealed, storing pet food in tubs and clearing old boxes from the garage also helps.
Do not touch droppings or dead rodents with bare hands. Wear gloves or wait for the crew. To book rodent control and get a price, call 07 3543 7768 and tell us where you are hearing or seeing signs.
