Rats and mice move into roof spaces on the Sunshine Coast when the nights cool down, and some stay all year where there is food and shelter. Roof rats run along fences, power lines and tree branches, then slip in through gaps under tiles and roof sheets. Mice squeeze through holes the size of a pen and nest in wall cavities, cupboards and sheds.
When you call, tell us what you are hearing or seeing: scratching at night, droppings, chewed food packets or gnawed wiring. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works your area. The crew we book checks the roof space and the outside of the home, then sets a plan to deal with the rodents and the ways they are getting in.
- Roof space inspection for droppings, nests and runways
- Lockable bait stations placed away from kids and pets
- Traps where baiting is not a good fit
- Checks of gaps under tiles, around pipes and at the eaves
- Advice on trimming branches and clearing clutter
Before the visit, clear a path to the manhole and move stored items away from the walls in the garage. Put pet food and chook feed in sealed tubs. Fallen fruit, compost bins and chook pens can draw rats, so tidy those up where you can. Baiting takes a week or two to show results, and the crew may suggest a return check to refill stations, which they will price for you first.
Homes near creeks, cane land and bushland around the Sunshine Coast often see more rodents. Rats and mice chew wiring, so it pays to act early. Call 07 3543 7771 to get a price and book a visit.
