Scratching in the ceiling at night is one of the most common calls we get from homes in Brisbane. Roof rats climb along fences, trees and power lines to reach the roof, while mice slip in through gaps as small as a pencil. Once inside, they chew wiring and food packets and leave droppings in cupboards. Rats also gnaw through insulation and can leave a strong smell behind.
When you call, tell us what you are hearing or finding and where. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book checks the roof space, subfloor and kitchen for droppings, runs and nests, then sets up a plan to bring numbers down.
- Inspection of the roof space, subfloor and wall cavities
- Lockable bait stations placed along runs and away from pets
- Traps in spots where bait is not suitable
- A look at entry points such as gaps around pipes and eaves
- Advice on trimming trees and sealing gaps
Rodent activity picks up in autumn and winter as rats and mice look for warm places to nest. Homes near parks, creeks and older timber houses with open subfloors often see more of it. The crew will explain how long the bait usually takes and what signs to watch for. A second visit can be booked to check the bait stations and see how things are going.
Keep food in sealed containers, clean up fallen fruit and move rubbish bins away from the walls while the treatment works. Tell us about pets when you call, so the crew places stations where only rodents can reach. To book rat and mouse control in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7769 and we will arrange a local crew.
