Rats and mice often move indoors in Redlands when the weather cools or when food is easy to find. You might hear scratching in the roof or walls at night, find droppings in the pantry or see chewed packaging in the garage. Rats also chew wiring, so it pays not to wait. Rodent control finds where they are getting in and where they are living, then treats the activity with baits and traps placed out of reach of children and pets.
The crew we book will check the roof space where it can be reached, along with sheds, garages, woodpiles and garden areas. Rodents need very small gaps to get in, so the crew also looks for holes around pipes, gaps under doors, damaged vents and branches touching the roof. Pointing these out means you can block them once the activity has died down.
- Inspection of roof spaces, wall voids and sub-floor areas where reachable
- Lockable bait stations placed where children and pets cannot reach them
- Traps where baiting is not suitable
- A check for entry points and nesting material
- Advice on food storage, compost and pet food
Keep pet food and bird seed in sealed containers, tidy up the woodpile and trim trees back from the roof. Compost bins and chook pens are common food sources in Redlands backyards, so it helps to keep them tidy. Rodent work sometimes needs more than one visit, and we will tell you if that is likely when you call.
