Not every noise in the roof is a possum. Rats and mice are common in Bridgeman Downs, especially in cooler months when they move indoors looking for warmth and food. You may hear light, quick scratching at any time of day, find small droppings in the pantry or notice chewed food packets. Rats also chew wiring and insulation, so it is worth acting early. We give you an upfront price and book a local crew to deal with it.
The crew we book starts with an inspection of the roof space, kitchen, laundry and outside areas. They look for droppings, runways, gnaw marks and the gaps rodents use to get inside. Then they set up a plan that suits your home, whether you have kids, pets or both. If there are possums in the roof as well, both can be handled in one visit. The work may include:
- Lockable bait stations placed in the roof and outside
- Traps set in spots pets and children cannot reach
- Checks of the kitchen, laundry and garage
- Advice on food storage and clutter that attracts rodents
- Pointing out gaps that let rodents in
Rodent activity usually drops within a couple of weeks once baiting starts. The crew will tell you what signs to look out for, and you can call us to book another check if the scratching carries on. Sealing the gaps with rodent proofing stops new rats and mice moving in once the current ones are dealt with.
Rat and mouse control is booked for houses and units across Bridgeman Downs. Call 07 3543 7768, tell us where you are hearing or seeing signs, and we will give you an upfront price and a time for the crew to come out.
