Scratching in the ceiling at night is one of the most common calls we take from Mitchelton. Rats and mice move into roof spaces, subfloors and kitchens when the weather cools, and older timber homes with open subfloors see plenty of them. Call us, tell us what you are hearing or seeing, and we will give you upfront pricing for rodent control.
The crew we book starts by looking for signs: droppings, gnaw marks, greasy rub marks along beams and walls, and nesting material. They check the roof space where they can reach it, the kitchen, the laundry and the outside of the home for gaps around pipes, vents and roof lines. Bait stations go where rodents travel but children and pets cannot reach.
- Inspection of the roof space, kitchen and outside walls
- Lockable bait stations placed along rodent runs
- Snap traps where baiting does not suit the space
- Advice on sealing gaps, trimming trees and storing food
- A return visit to check and refill bait stations if needed
Rats climb well, so trees and vines touching the roof give them an easy way in. Mice can squeeze through a gap the width of a pencil. Most homes need a few weeks of baiting before the noise stops, and some need a second visit to check the stations. Any return visit is priced upfront on the call.
If you notice an unpleasant smell in the ceiling after baiting, tell us and the crew can look into it. To book rodent control in Mitchelton, call 07 3543 7767 and we will book a local team.
