Rats and mice move into roof spaces, wall cavities and sheds around Pacific Pines when the weather cools or when food is easy to find. Common signs include scratching in the ceiling at night, droppings in the pantry or garage, chewed food packets and gnawed wiring or pipes. Homes near bushland, creeks and fruit trees tend to see more activity. Rats also like to run along fences, power lines and palm trees to reach the roof.
When you call, we ask where you hear or see signs and whether you have pets, then book a nearby independent crew with upfront pricing. The crew looks for where rodents are getting in and where they are nesting, then sets up baiting or trapping to suit the home. A rodent visit can include:
- An inspection of the roof space, garage and outside walls
- Lockable bait stations placed away from children and pets
- Traps in roof spaces or pantries where baiting is not suitable
- Pointing out gaps around pipes, eaves and vents that rodents use
- A check of sheds, woodpiles and under decks
- Advice on food storage, compost bins and pet food
Rodents are cautious, so it can take a week or two before they start taking bait. The crew will explain what to watch for and whether a check back visit is worth booking, with the price given upfront. Sealing entry points after the numbers drop helps keep new rats and mice from moving in.
To book rodent control in Pacific Pines, call 07 3543 7769. Tell us whether you are hearing noises, finding droppings or both, and we will give you upfront pricing and book a local team. If you have seen rodents in a garage or shed as well as the house, mention both so the crew can plan the visit.
